Knowing when you are the expert.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to focus on resting so you can recharge for the week.

This week my daughter’s truck broke good and the transmission is getting re-built. Do you know how good it felt to actually get it to the garage or shop and have someone trained look at it? It was a weight off my shoulders. Now I am not always wondering if she will get stuck.

My point is this…sometimes it is best to hand over your problem to the experts so you don’t spend all your energy trying to figure something out. I am good at a bunch of things but transmissions is not one of them.

So the next time you have a problem ask yourself if you will spend more time trying to figure it out than it is worth.

Here’s to resting in someone else’s expertise.

Happy Crafting!

Giving back with friendship.

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

Sometimes the best way to give back is to be present. Recently my daughter’s truck broke down and she was stuck on the side of the road with herself, her truck, and a friend. She wasn’t sure if this person was someone that was more than an acquaintance, but they have since become a good friend.

It’s amazing to me how a simple moment of bad luck with the right person can become somewhat perfect.

What’s happened to you that has shown the good in people?

Happy Crafting!

Making lattice for a background.

It’s Technique Tuesday! The Paper Lattice in the Bloom Where You’re Planted Suite Collection can be used for several things. It can be cut up to create a border, suspended between pieces of card stock to make an illusion of sorts, or simply a background. In this case I used it as a simple background or mat.

What other uses have you found for the Paper Lattice?

Happy Crafting!

Relax…

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

Another term for resting is to relax. The definition is to “make or become less tense or anxious”. Sometimes anxious is said to be rigid instead. When I think of relax I think in terms of hair. You add relaxer to change your hair. When you want your hair to be less curly you add relaxer.

So when I want changes in my life sometimes it is best to relax instead of pushing harder. It might change your perspective enough so you can move forward.

Happy Crafting!
