JULY 2013 ***Let's UNblock!
« on: July 14, 2013, 07:49:12 pm »
GREETINGS SCRAPPY MINIONS!!!
I know, I know, it's been a while.   HOWEVER...the funk seems to be lifting!  Now for my many-many words...

As my helpful friend LYNN assisted with the following quote, when I asked her for some ideas to shove me off of a proverbial scrapping/journaling cliff...
    Vincent Van Gogh said, "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint', then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."

Well, well, well...let's just say that this screamed at me.  I've been "blocked" forever it seems.  Two layouts since...April??  So, to break through my own mental scrap/craft/journal blockage (which isn't just creativity-blockage actually, I've been a flippin' mess)...I sat down at the computer and decided to just TYPE something.   So, essentially, I had no page design in mind, no color scheme, no theme, NOTHING. 

The page was born - because the journaling allowed it to be.   So - give you......



Writers' block, scrappers' block, crafters' block....not feeling inspired, not feeling the spirit, not feeling...much??  That's been me for quite a bit of time actually.   So ---- we're going out on a limb and saying "Journal a block" --- whatever that means to you.   Can't wait to see what you guys come up with !
