OK, maybe not ALL my friends but the majority of them are a little out of the box, and that’s the way I like it! I was teaching an addicted to metal clay class http://goodmusedesigns.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5  recently and the topic of having crazy friends came up. It made me start thinking about how much fun I have with my students and my friends… Many have been with me for several years and some have been with me for just a session or two. They come from different back grounds, different places, and they come to jewelry making from different craft-type activities but the things they all have in common are they enjoy life, like to have fun, and don’t take themselves too seriously….Not to say that they don’t take their work seriously because some really amazing things are being created in my classes. Most of my friends outside of my jewelry life are a little crazy too…. I think it’s a “birds of a feather” thing… My favorite T-shirt (in the picture) created by the fabulous Suzy Toronto http://suzytoronto.com/ pretty much sums up one of my philosophies of life… I think “normal” is over-rated! How about you? Would you say you fall into the wild and crazy, fun loving category or the “normal” category? And just exactly what qualifies as either one? And just a little more food for thought…. Does falling into the normal category mean that you aren’t having fun? (oh boy, I really hope the answer to that one is crazy people have more fun because otherwise it blows my entire life plan <giggle>)
