Recharge with the right tools.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week!

I have to tell you that it is so important that you have the right tools to recharge. Having the wrong tools is so detrimental.

Recently I went out to visit family and just about everything was critical or negative. My focus is not on this but instead on making sure you surround yourself with the right people for you. This way you will not be exhausted, but instead you will be rested and ready to go. It is so important you take care in picking who is around you. Not only will it affect your energy levels but also your perceptions.

It is much like trying to charge your phone with the wrong charger. While you may think it is a good idea it will not help you to recharge. Instead it might actually help you to burn out. Be careful what and where you plug in.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

It’s almost time for “tis the season”.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

Pretty soon the weather will start to cool down and we will start hearing the familiar holiday pleas. For me, the all too familiar rings are from the American Cancer Society, Sheriff’s Department, and so many more. So how do you teach the next generation to give back?

Here are some places your kid and you can give back to the community you live in.

  • Operation Christmas Child
  • We Give Books
  • Heart for Heart Girls

There are also places locally to donate your time and goods such as a food bank, senior center, and more.

How will you donate to give back?

Happy Crafting!

Creating a gorgeous textured snow scene.

It’s Tutorial Thursday! I know it is still over 100 degrees, but I had to finish my Christmas in July series. So today’s tutorial is all about a velvet snowed-in cabin scene.

For this card you will need the new Snowy White Velvet Sheets, Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper, and the Peaceful Cabin Bundle. All of this is on page 37 of the new Mini Catalog.

(If you need your copies of the new Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Brochure please contact me ASAP!)

Use a heart for a circle.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!

Did you know that right now we don’t carry circle punches? So when you want to notch the top of that gift card pocket, card, bag, or project use a heart instead. The top of one of the humps on the heart makes a perfect notch.

If you want a little wider of a notch then use the Double Oval Punch.

Happy Crafting!

Stamping on more than card stock.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to share that you can stamp on more than card stock or paper.

With Staz-On Ink you can stamp on wood, glass, or even tile.

Remember that you are only limited by your imagination.

Happy Crafting!

Resting by saying no.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.

I was reading about several different things and came across this article, 7 Ways to Give Your Mind a Rest. Now most of the points were common sense but it was a great reminder. The one point that stuck out to me was to say no.

The article states that when you feel you are getting close to your breaking point to say no to things so you can come back. I would add to learn to set your priorities and boundaries so you know what to say no to before that point.

The link to the article is https://why-girls-are-weird.com/2019/03/7-ways-to-give-your-mind-a-rest.html.

Not everything is a goal.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

I don’t know about you but when I get a goal in mind I go for it. Sometimes going for it means I don’t keep balance where I should. Sometimes that means I get so focused on results that I forget about being present. I forget to smile or to enjoy the journey.

Do you ever get hyper focused and lose yourself a bit in the process?

Just a little reminder for you and me to come up for air and be present. Sometimes the best thing you can do is share a smile and an encouraging word with someone.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂
