Do you ever get in those moods, when your just....blahhhh? I know we all do and it's one of those days for me. Feel like poo about my scrappin' for some reason. I feel like my mojo has officially left the building and I need it to return asap! I've got to do an assignment for BHG Magazine and I need to do it now! And it needs to be good! LOL! So...send me some inspiration will ya? Sites...anything! LOL!
On a good note, I got a request from Creating Keepsakes yesterday for a layout. So, that makes me happy. But of course today, I'm down. Why do I let myself do that? I receive all these wonderful compliments from all of you - THANK YOU - they mean the world to me! They lift me up!! So much! And then today, I don't know what happened. Just down I guess. We are all our own worst critics - I know that - it's just one of those days!
Ok, enough sobbing...sorry! LOL! I finished up a layout for Basic Grey - didn't love it! ): But, it's off now. And, I need to get stuff done cause we are going up to my parents for the weekend so I need to wrap things up.
The 21 Challenge Update: Yesterday was the 1st day. I actually took sometime to create an album cover - it was looking cool - and then....blah. So, it's still in the works. I don't know if I can do this whole Art Journal thing. I'm so linear, detailed, straight lines that I struggle with just being free...just putting it down without thinking about it. It's a good challenge for me - but right now - it's stressin' me out so I'm not worrying about it right now. But, I am doing the challenge...to overcome an issue that I have. I'll share about it tomorrow...I'm afraid if I write about it right now I'll get more depressed! LOL! Did great Day 1, today, had a slip, but I'm getting back up and will do better! Everyone make me do better!
Alright - enough blabbing for today! If your still reading this sad post - thank you! I love you all! HUgs!
So so so so Love love love this! Fun you have Boho! don't even have any Boho! Loving this girl!
kiss kiss

I definitely have those kinds of days! I think that lots of us do. You are talented though, no reason to feel down or worry about that...promise :)

I'm sure that even your blah work (if there is such a thing) will still be inspiration to us all. Still.. sometimes even the best need to take a break and step away from it all to put things into perspecive. Good luck, we're all rooting for you!

Robyn...I am having the blahhs as well today. So it must be in the air, and therefore it has nothing to do with YOU specifically. It must be something out of our control. :)
Here's a thought...if you don't have a few days where you feel like crap, then when you do feel good, you won't realize it as much...BUT since you have your blah days, the ones that are better are that much better...
Yeah, it doens't quite change my "blah" feeling either, but it sounds very good, doesn't it?? :)
here is an idea...grab one of your favorite idea books and just spend a few minutes looking, taking it all in...maybe a color combination or set of embellishments will stand out to you and next thing you know you'll have a ton of ideas flowing your way.
(it just might work)
Or completely walk away from it all, call it a day and try again tomorrow...with a fresh start and some happier (creative) thoughts.
wishing you some happy sunshiney productive vibes...
