Peek in on some Crafty Therapy

This week I enjoyed several hours with card stock, scissors & adhesives! I made such a lovely mess I took some pictures to prove my productivity! Most of the cards are still in productivity so I'll have to wait to post them.

I have heard people claim their craftiness was a form of therapy. And, until recently I personally have not experienced that feeling. But, I am happy to share I reached the mountain top! LOL, I felt the therapy in my craft room! I suspect my exhaustion from being a new Mom had a lot to do with it! My mind was naturally turned off (from exhaustion) and I just let the glitter fly and hands got a little colored with ink. Oh, it felt GOOD!!


My Mother loved "Good n Plenty" licorice candy. Recently my taste buds have takin a likn' to them too! I laugh at how they look similar to pills. I suppose in a way they are my medicine...atleast on this day- I am able to control my deisre to stuff them in my mouth because they do not have tons of sugar. Good n Plenty- the perfect compliment to my crafty therapy! Give it a try, maybe it'll work for you too :)) lol

Another inspiration has been the NEW Stampin' Up! Catalog! I made a small order of a few of my top ten must have list. I could hardly wait to dig into the box and play. Well, that went on for a bout 3 weeks- with the box of new goodies sitting on my craft table, calling my name and saying, "come play with me". When I finally listened to the calling I honestly felt stress melt off my shoulders. I am reminded of the NIKE sports moto of "just do it!". too many times I push my hobby to the side thinking I'll get to it when I can. Making time for myself is a necessity for my mental well being! I think I will do it more often!
