I had to get this book because I loved Kipfer’s 1,001 Ways to Slow Down (review here).
To start, I have to say that a book like this is hard to review! It’s primarily a list of ideas for things to do that’ll help get your creativity going. Just like 1,001 Ways to Slow Down, 1,001 Ways to Be Creative is very lovely to look at, with different designs and a fun, artsy look to each page.
I think this is a great book to leave out on a coffee table to pick up any time you feel like doing something that involves creativity, but you’re just not sure where to put your energy. There are SO many ideas in this book, with everything from painting a room in your favorite color to taking a pottery class to writing prompts.
I like to call myself a creative person, but like anyone else, I get stuck sometimes. I’m really happy that I own this book now to open when I need a little inspiration!
