10 things to STOP doing, crafters!

-

 

Yes, this situation is very grave. Very, very grave. Just kidding! Kind of . . . 


1. Stop giving yourself huge projects with a deadline. Crafting will only be fun if you don’t involve any pressure. Crafting is supposed to be an escape from your job or school, and giving this relaxing activity deadlines like in work or school, will stress you out and you will eventually not like crafting anymore. And that, my friends, is a fate worse than death. 

2. Stop making a mess! This one might seem weird. No one loves making a mess more than me! Except maybe my dog, when we leave her alone and she gets angry. Let’s just say her messes smell worse than mine. So I am not telling you to stop doing messy crafts! Just don’t leave a mess. It will eventually build up over time if you don’t clean it, and soon you’ll be too stressed out to craft. 

3. Stop worrying! This is the main tip I can give you. Worry doesn’t help. Don’t worry about the final product. Just enjoy the making of it, and at the end of each project, list three things you like about it and three things to do better next time. This way you’ll learn and grow instead of staying in a rut. 


Happy crafting! God loves you and so do I!

Christmas to do list:

 Here is a handy to do list now that the Christmas season is really upon us. I hope this will help you stay organized while appreciating the spirit and joy of this holiday. We all know they can get a little stressful, but if we keep organized and focus on blessings and gratitude, there is nothing we can’t handle.  1. Put up your decorations. You can go minimal or bold but we all know the importance of some decor. Hopefully the second your tree is up you’ll instantly feel more Christmasy.  2. Volunteer or help someone in need. This is a little cat with special needs. Sometimes he wobbles when he walks. I love him. Spread the Christmas love this season.  3. Dream of a white Christmas, and take advantage of the snow days we do have. Snowball fights, snow angels, sledding, the possibilities are endless. Spend these days outside and don’t waste them. Take the days off from responsibilities.  4. Do your Christmas baking. Package up boxes to send to neighbors and family.  5. Test out Christma

A Socially Awkward Teen

-
 Hi! So recently, I decided to go shopping. I’m not normal a huge shopper, but it was my great grandma’s 90th birthday and I needed a nice dress for pictures. So I decided to go to Ross Dress For Less. Don’t judge me. Now, as you probably know, in a Ross Dress For Less, anything goes.  Anyway, I was having trouble finding a dress that I would wear to a 90th birthday party and not a Vegas Night Club. But I just couldn’t. So I decided I would probably wear something I already had.  But, being the homeschooled quarantine socially awkward teen that I am, I was so petrified that someone would think I had done something wrong if I didn’t buy a dress. So I got a dress and headed to the fitting rooms. I got my clothes number and headed to a stall. The lock was a bit janky but I managed. I went back out and headed for my cart but was stopped by a worker who said I needed to give him my card. I did not have my card.  He forced me to go back to the changing room TWICE but I couldn’t find anything
