My roommate and I had a conversation on Friday about how important it is to take care of yourself... and sometimes that means making time for things you enjoy. I have been feeling less guilty about doing things like this for myself since that conversation.
Ever since last December when I have my first "duh!" light bulb moment (the one where I realized that I enjoy crafts and making things and the sense of accomplishment it gives me), I have tried to make time to be crafty. It hasn't been a ton (between taking a class, work, cookies, etc there isn't too much me time), but it has been some.
Want to see some proof? Here are a couple of pictures for you to enjoy -- as a note, I am not a professional scrapbooker... I just enjoy it!
from my trip to Maine with Laura.
from our trip to Disney World last Feb/March -- still have a couple more pages to make, but I am loving what I have done so far.
I think the other reason I am enjoying it so much is that I am scrapbooking the stuff that inspires me -- ie, makes me want to get my materials out and do it. It was my "duh!"/light bulb moment of this past weekend. I can't wait to do more -- finish up the Disney stuff and search through all my photos and figure out what is next.
Hope you are doing things that make you happy and feel relaxed!
