In the Merriam Webster Dictionary - the defition of "Creative" is as follows:
having the quality or power of creating.
Therefore...I do belive that your DH has his definition backwards according to the true definition!
OOPPSS! You've been given the definition already...great minds think a like!

What are your thoughts on being CREATIVE?

I think your dear husband has the definition backwards...you are creative in the total sense of the word! IMHO to follow someone else's directions in it's entirety would only create people who could not think for themselves nor would they be able to come up with superior results in whatever process they were trying to accomplish. His definition would create a world of clones and not one of fabulous creative people who love to create anything/everything with their own personal touch.
That is one thing that's so fabulous about this board...all the creative people who dared to change and do it their way!
