At last school holidays have started! It seemed like the longest term EVER! The kids are completely exhuasted, and having already had the entire household home sick at some stage this winter I am keen to keep them well fed with nourishing homemade soups, lots of cuddles on the couch and sleeping in!
I thought I might find a little extra 'me' time while the kids are home, what with mum's taxi service temporarily relaxed and no routines to adhere to most days. But no - I haven't found any spare moments to scrap and to be honest have found my mojo has left and gone on holiday too. I am honesty concerned that when I seek out my fave mags, online stores and blogs for inspiration I seem to come up empty. I can't seem to find any techniques that I want to try my hand at, or a sketch that takes my breath away, let alone a color combo that sparks a twinge of excitement. Ho hum...
Many of the challenges sites that I often (albeit unsucessfully) tackle are leaving me a little disappointed. Oh no, please don't get me wrong, the challenges are marvellous as always, the DT samples are still stunning and the entries are always above par - but I just don't feel motivated. I have so many supplies that I could not step foot into a store for a year and yet......hmm, I don't know what it is. Ho hum...
So I'm putting out a call for help to the scrapping community that always manages to provide me with a smile - If you read this blog post please comment.
Leave me a hint of inspiration, the link to a great new blog or store, a personal challenge or the directions for a fantastic technique.
I need help - I'm asking for your help.
Hi Felicity,
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling!! I have just started a new job, and I am now trying to balance the work/family/home chores/me time , but it is not working!
I ran into Penny on the weekend and we agreed it might be time for another weekend away, what do you think.
