Well, it's so sad. I had to drop out of all swaps that I was in at SCS because swapping was taking away the joy I get from my papercrafting.
So in order to get back into the mood to do papercrafting, I have been reading blogs all over the place. There are some amazing crafters out there. I would love to be as good as they are. But you have to invest time into it and not lose your enthusiasm for the craft and right now, that's what has happened to me. But I feel the urge to papercraft coming back.
October 3rd is World Cardmaking Day. Papercrafts Magazine is having a contest and I plan on entering it. I hope I can win. That would be nice to get one of those prize packages.
Have you ever just wandered around online looking at stamping stores and other papercrafting stores online? It's amazing. I finally got a book and started writing down my "wishes". Hopefully I will be able to afford to get some of the things I would like to have. I don't necessarily need them. I'd just like to have them.
Well, later gators!

Been a very long time

Well, I haven't been around on my blog in months. I know, it's very sad. But first of all, I found myself bogged down by too many swaps. Now I've removed myself from all of them. It was taking the joy out of my hobby---papercrafting. I didn't like having a deadline for doing something I love to do. So I had to think about getting that joy back instead of feeling like I just HAD to do this.
I got my issue of Paper Crafts Magazine and found that World Cardmaking Day is on October 3rd. Not only that but they have a contest where you can choose to make an original card and submit it by October 12th and win prizes. 20 lucky winners! Looks like they have a fantastic prize pool there as well. So that's what I will be doing.
I'll also be posting more on my own blog. I've signed up to read so many blogs and am getting so many ideas for cards and other things, that the joy and anticipation is slowly seeping back into my tired old bones.
Yesterday I had another birthday. I think I quit celebrating them a few years ago but the family keeps insisting on telling me Happy Birthday. Well, I can't take that away from them. I love them so much.
Look for me to start posting my crafts in here. I hope you will like them.
