Oh no, more moaning!
Hi blogworld,
I'm so frustrated right now, I'm almost about to do some craft shopping!! Either that or I need someone to give me a swift kick up the posterior. I wonder which one I'll decide on.
I am soooo struggling right now with even being bothered to make a card. Then when I can be bothered, I'm getting it wrong. Doesn't help that my dining room table looks like a whirlwind hit it and I'm crafting in a space only as big as my craft mat.
Reason being we've still got 3 kittens here. One waiting for someone to come claim him and then we only have one left to re-home - so for now it's still chaos (tho less chaotic than it was).
Add on top of this one serious bout of where am I going with my life (bah hitting 41 is not good!), are we going to live here until they cart us off to an old people's home, what is the meaning of life and death - oh I had one serious headache that evening!!! All this angst means that I might be getting the kitchen moved and the dining room turned into a craft room. All that storage took up more space in the computer room than hubby liked or realised so I offered up some drastic alternatives and he took them!
I think I will stop moaning now and go get She Who Must be Obeyed - in the meantime I leave you with this poor offering.

Lol Sarah you are a little down on yourself today Mrs! There is nothing wrong with your card its so NOT a poor offering, your colouring is awesome and as always your details are beautiful!
If you think 41 is bad wait till to get to 51!! I think I'm just about coming to terms with myself!!
Sounds like you need a trip out - get hubby to bring you to Harrogate on Sunday to meet us!!
Hugs Laurie xx

I love this Sarah really pretty! I know what you mean though my motivation is super poor at the mo and I'm not creating how I like or as much as I like good luck with getting your own craft room you lucky thing!
Hugs Rebekah xx
Awww Sarah, its a gorgeous card, dont be so hard on yourself! But I must admit I am kinda in the same place at the moment, fed up, corker of a migraine last night has left me fuzzy today. No motivation either and my hubby has just gone to Munich till Friday for Oktoberfest, so feeling a bit lonely now! Oh dear we are a pair arent we? I am sitting on my hands trying to avoid a blowout online crafty shopping!! I need to save my pennies for a vintage fair on the 20th and going to the craft fair at the secc with Sara on the 28th!. I think I had best go and find some mittens to put on my hands and then sit on them too! Lol
Hugs

You say a poor offering (NOT)!!!!This is beautiful and love all the embossing. You need to de-clutter your mind with worry. I'm always wondering about what ifs and whys!!
Creativity is the best answer and this is super, super!!

Gosh Sarah you are fed up at the moment. I am sure your mojo will return when you get a bigger space and one just for you. Your card is gorgeous so stop beating yourself up and I don't think there is too much pink. I adore this image and love your layout.
Now take some deep breaths and go and get yourself a glass of wine - that may sort you out.
Hugs Sharon. x

Gorgeous card Sarah. And you could do with a mahoooooossssiiiiivvveeee hug (Sarah) xxxxxx
Hi Sarah
Well your 'poor' offering is still gorgeous... but I know those feelings so well! Believe me, it gets worse as you get older... I only have one year to go now before the big '6' (with a zero after it but can't get myself to type it yet). PANIC!
Hugs

oh my, i so wish i could colour like this when suffering! it's gorgeous Sarah, and you've still got a couple of months to go before you finish your UIU! Karen x
angst, kittens or age. I think your card is beautiful but i know the feeling. For me it helps to just let go and flip through my paperpads:) Try something that usually makes you happy and let everything else goes, even if the kittens are biting your feet:)
Love Mickaela
Hi Sarah, your mojo looks absolutely fine to me:) this is a beautiful card, I hope you have a lovely Sunday, Hugs, Teresa x
