1. Article on the Confused & Diffused Creative I love the Braid blog, but this article struck out to me right away as I found myself leaning in and nodding along as I read. Let me guess. You’re the creative type with lots of ideas. So many ideas! TONS of ideas!

Anyway, these gorgeous cards have already been fully funded on Kickstarter but you can still get in with a pack for putting up $15 toward the start of the project. Found via Mr. Cup. 2. Our City, Our Home Mural Hand painted on brick

1. The Progression of Storytelling Really enjoyed this short video found on Brave the Woods! Joe Sabia has great storytelling skills—all using his iPad to supply the visuals. Just watching made me so excited to create and read and learn and share! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did or at least I hope it brings a smile to your face this Friday morning! 2. Once in A Lullaby Adorable poster by The Heads of State (and congrats on the new site!)
