Ok, so I’m sure you’ve figured out that I failed at the 365 days of creativity challenge. But, it really wasn’t my fault. Shortly after my last post in April, I got a sinus infection and the flu at the same time. I was totally out of commission for a week and a half. So, that ruined my crafty mojo. I knew I wouldn’t catch up. I thought about just picking up where I left off, or starting over, but I was just too discouraged. I’m very much an all-or-nothing kind of girl. So, I saw it as failure, and walked away from the whole project.
I’m finally ready to think about trying again, but I’m not sure. I’m so busy now that I work full time, I don’t have time for daily craftiness (tragic, I know). Maybe weekly, I dunno. For now, I’m going to post when I can here and there. I do have a few projects on the go, so let’s see where it goes.

Jennifer, be willing to forgive yourself. It is a most important lesson in life. Then move on. It’s OK that you didn’t finish and quite frankly, when I worked full time I could do little else. You should consider yourself in good shape if you can do an evening or two a week or on weekends doing some. I can tell you it will take planning or it will not happen. We go thru seasons in life and sometimes those seasons don’t allow certain things, but that doesn’t mean it will always be that way. For many years the extent of my creativity was little girl hair bows and painting on their clothes. It wasn’t at all what I do now, but it meant a lot to those little girls of mind. That was a season.
Remember, be forgiving. You can’t do it all. Prioritize.
Cheers,

Thanks so much for your kind words and support Coleen. I am really hard on myself sometimes, when I shouldn’t be. Thank you.
