Mental Block and Loss of Mojo

How many times have we heard that? How many times have we SAID it? During 2007 I had set myself goals of joining a bunch of swaps, getting on another Design Team or two, doing some scrapping for hire and just generally setting myself up for a fall!!!

Sure enough, I got behind on swaps, started stressing out, which killed my mojo pretty much keeping me from doing the very thing I needed to do to get caught up! And instead of scrapping what I wanted, I was doing what I thought "the masses" wanted to see with the kits I was working with.

I'm not sure how much longer my sanity would have survived if something awful hadn't happened. And what was that? I was turned down for DT on ScrapGoods. Oh my, was I ever upset!!!! Sheldon was worried, Bobbie was worried, Kylie was worried. Heck "I" was worried. SNAP out of it!

Well, that gave me a bit of time to get caught up on swapping commitments.

What is this? I can breathe? I have time? Hey, I can scrap what I want to!!!! What a concept! Only one commitment to my beloved Commit2Paper. I can handle that! And no more swaps for awhile, well except for the Round Robin ATC but that is one little atc, no biggy, and I do love atcs.

It's amazing! How many times have I said careful what you wish for! Now I can say without a doubt, I am SOOOOO glad I did NOT make that design team. Love SG, but with all those new things I see the very talented ladies doing every week, no thanks, don't need that pressure. I am back to scrapping for me (and a little for Amy). And that's another funny, the C2P kits have been so different that I find myself actually scrapping the pics I want to anyway!

Well in case anyone was wondering about my mind set lately: I am okee dokee fine!

With that said, lookee! Loved playing with the inks and yeah I know I've already scrapped that pic, tough.
