		<description><![CDATA[I love the creative process. It&#8217;s amazing to me to see how creative the human mind is &#8212; especially when it&#8217;s about ideas and exploring our imaginations. The images below aren&#8217;t really puppets, but they involve hands and images&#8230;so it made me think of puppets.

		<description><![CDATA[A friend just shared with me a very disturbing Newsweek article, &#8220;Creativity in Crisis.&#8221; For years, researchers have been studying and measuring, in quantifiable ways, creativity in children and adults. (They actually call it measuring your CQ as opposed to IQ.)
