Try as I might this past week, no creating with paper was done :-(
Lots of general living occurred--work (of course LOL), the cleaning and bill-paying and shopping that had not happened recently due to illness, and the beginnings of a slight rearrangement of my crafting area. For me, organization and creativity only co-exist when outlining chapters for my novel (and I did manage to roughly sketch out a couple of chapters this week, so all is not lost).
I was Blessed to receive a tax refund this year and chose to use a portion for Stampin' Up! products during Sale-A-Bration, primarily because of the great free product available with every $50 purchase. The down side to ordering cardstock and stamps and ribbons and embellishments comes when you have to find a place to put all the goodies LOL. So, instead of using the creative side of my brain (the part that was MIA anyway), I organized my dies and stamps and paper. My brain stayed incapable of designing cards--what's up with that?? I even watched a few videos on You Tube to inspire creative thought, but all I could find was a blank slate...
That's not entirely true--I did conclude I had a few needs. I need ribbon storage. I need to find the instructions to my sewing machine (it has been unused so long, I can no longer remember how to set it for a zigzag stitch, much less use any of the more decorative stitches). I need to find my muse...
