One of the great joys of Creative Sandbox Retreats is the creative catalyzing sessions we have every morning after breakfast, to get out of our heads and into our bodies. We play improv games and laugh like crazy, which confuses our gremlins, so they wander off, so we can get down to work! One of the games we did this time is called “hashtag.” It’s a variation of “proverbs,” which is basically a word-at-a-time statement, but when the statement is done, the next person says “hashtag,” and the person after that comes up with a hashtag to sum up the statement (er.. tweet?) This was one of our favorites, which had me doubled up laughing for several minutes! 😂
🖍
When we play “proverbs,” the rule is we must stand in a tight circle, and tap our fingers together sagely. When we play “hashtag,” we’ve decided the rule is we must hold our hands in front of us and move our thumbs as if we’re tapping our a tweet on our phones. 😄 We LOVE Playing this game!

These posters will go into a folder to be pulled out and put on the wall at the next retreat, September 11-15, 2019. (There’s still room for one more if you’d like to join us: link in profile or visit http://bit.ly/2y1M5At)

Good news! I don’t have to redo the entire thing!!! I was able to create a section that I think I can Photoshop in, saving me from a complete redo. #whew .

Well, I decided to redo the whole thing. Not because of the spelling errors and smears—those I could have cleaned up in Photoshop—but because I decided to add some icons. So here is the latest iteration of my visual bio for my consultancy website.

And NOW it’s time for bed. 😊

Working on another animated “explainer video.” This is my thumbnail sketch storyboard. 🖍
I may work on recording this tomorrow at the retreat. Otherwise, after I get home. .
