Creativity
Creativity has been attributed variously to divine intervention, cognitive processes, the social environment, personality traits, and chance ("accident", "serendipity"). It has been associated with genius, mental illness and humour. Some say it is a trait we are born with; others say it can be taught with the application of simple techniques.
Although popularly associated with art and literature, it is also an essential part of innovation and invention and is important in professions such as business, economics, architecture, industrial design, science and engineering.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MEME 1
Mariuca was tagged by Nick and Mrs. Ezman
According to the rules, I am to list down the household chores I hate and why I hate them. Then copy the image provided and tag as many people as you want. Add your blogs link to the domesticated divas linky love and leave a comment at Stripe and Yellow to be added to the master list.
These are 3 chores that I hate doing:
1. Putting the garbage out....because the bins are down in the basement and they have really heavy lids..
2. Dusting...because one day after I have dusted ..the dust returns (a bit like SPAM)
3. Cleaning glass doors...because half of my apartment is made up of floor length glass doors

Thank you for the award, Kim! Am truly flattered!
Hi Kim! I've powered up my virtual windows machine to come pay you a visit :-)
Imagine my surprise to see that I've been honoured with a beautiful creativity award. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
I wanted to also let you know that to celebrate my 100th post today, I'm giving away an ACEO print to the first 4 people who comment (in case somebody you know might want a cat lol)
Thank you Kim!
Christy

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU..

Amy :)
you're very welcome Rizal..

Wow! Thank you Kim!!! :)
I have had a great Sunday here - enjoying a beautiful waterfall near one of my favourite places to paint - so this was a wonderful surprise to top off the day.
hello Amy
hehe you're welcome..I'm so glad you like it..
have a wonderful Sunday :) :)
hi Michelle
glad to hear that :) :)
there's nothing like a surprise award ..especially on a Sunday :) :)
Kimmy!! Thanks for being such a great sport and doing all three memes LOL! :)
Oh I forgot all about dusting, which I also despise since dust sets off my sinus problem and I'll end up sneezing for hours, so usually try to avoid that he he!
Wow, you have a fear of flying? That is one problem I don't have although I fear water! And I don't usually eat vegetarian pizza, but recently Domino's came out with a new vege flavour, which I've tasted once and it wasn't bad at all LOL! :):):)
I am speechless with joy at being the recipient of your award. Wow Kim!!
Love,
Linda Blondheim
Thanks for the Creative one, Kim!
Mango chicken with spinach?? I knew I liked you! Ha haa!!
I also like the dusting/spam comparison ... luckily I have avoided BOTH for some time now. [knock on blog]
I will give it a go here in my 0007 blogging headquarters :-)
Eric "BeardedCat" Hollywood
.... almost done (laughing)
I think you will like my version of memtastico
Kim; aww thanks so much for the award. Any creative day is a reward in itself; so an award for my reward!
I tried to pick up the image on my blog but it turns black and white - and placing it on my black background makes it transparent. The first time that has happened.
Also wondering - do you have a facebook; I searched for you but can't find one.
Wow! What a surprise! Thanks for the award Kim. I really appreciate it. And great company too. I'm glad that your shoulder is finally better. Take good care of yourself so we can enjoy more of your paintings! :)
Thanks for some great links Kim.
hi Mariuca
the memes were fun..and I just got carried away ..lol
you have a fear of water....I bet you don't like Jaws then...
I know I get more nervous when I watch movies about plane crashes :)
glad you like it Linda...
you're very deserving of it :)
you're welcome Casey :) :)
it's a pretty tasty dish Speedy..
I'm looking forward to seeing your memes ;)
hi Ascender...
I've modified the image...so it should copy now...I had it in a table before..

Hi Lieutenant Meme Rroth of the Sixth Meme Twister Taggerinis,
Your Meme has been posted with my introduction and Me-Mentos (my highlighted comments digitally typed in minty blue ink)
Hi Lieutenant Meme Rroth of the Sixth Meme Twister Taggerinis,
OMG!
There are so many links in your Meme Post, I never saw your Creative Artist Award presented to New England Lighthouse Treasures! Thank you for unexpected hidden surprise!
Debbie Dolphin has been sailing on the Flying Dutchman in search of that eternal Lighthouse to shed some light on the digital darkness in the Blogosphere. Hopefully, Jos can save me? ;~))
thanks very much Leet..
have a wonderful day :) :)
haha John...
it's the same here...the commercials are longer than the events...
I think it would pay to watch the highlights on youtube....hehe...and the added bonus is the funny videos that you find :) :)
you're welcome Sharon...
it's a pleasure to visit your site.. :) :)
hi Miss MP...lol..
I can't wait to see your me mentos...
I'll be over soon ;) :)
ROFL DD...

I don't think I have quite as many links as Speedy...hehe...he has outdone the meme of all memes at his place...in fact he might be suffering from meme burnout !!
happy sailing on the Flying Dutchman...
I'm sure Jos will have the right directions mapped out ;)
The Technorati Twister is Makin Waves!!
