This is a surreal time that we are currently living in. Part of me feels like I should have been chronicling the daily state of the world over the past weeks, and the other part of me says ‘why bother’? How much of this do you really want to remember?
So, how are you feeling these days? Really? It’s easy to get caught up in the memes, and the news, and everyone trying to convince you that it’s the perfect time to get things done. Which it is, if you want to get things done. The biggest thing I’ve accomplished is painting my kitchen. There are some days when it’s much less than that. This week has been pretty rough.
I’ve taken up scrapbooking again. I’m starting with a box of photos previously matched with paper. One set of pages was even half finished. The problem? They’re from 2009 and I don’t remember the names of some of the people in the photos.
I’m steadily working through the box, trying to get 3-4 layouts finished each week. To some this sounds like work, but to me it’s cathartic. 2020 hadn’t been going so well even before the self-isolation hit. We have now cancelled two trips to Vegas this year, and the death of my mother-in-law was hard.
Now, what about Stampin’ Up! and all of the wonderful stamping that I have done? I’ll admit that it has taken a back seat, and I thought about completely giving it up. But, I don’t want to. What I need to do is shift my focus a bit because after 13+ years, I’m tired of making cards. I want to share something else with everyone.
What do you want to make? Leave a comment below or e-mail me at littleinklings@rogers.com. While you’re at it, let me know how you’re feeling right now. It’s okay if you’re not okay. (BTW… my main e-mail still isn’t fixed because I haven’t had it in me to get it fixed. I’ll get on that. Promise.)
In the meantime, get outside and enjoy the sunshine – if you can. I’m going outside to pull dandelions. Fun!
