Red face Do you ever move too fast?

I have found lately that I actually have to tell myself to slow down!! When I am working on something, I seem to be in a hurry and end up getting frustrated and unhappy with my results. Am I the only one? How to you get yourself to relax and go with the flow?

Glass of wine! LOL

My problem is not going to fast but going so slow picking out the right paper, the right card-stock to match, the right stamp or die-cut etc.... By the time I get everything picked out, I an worn out!

If I find myself rushing to finish, I take a deep breath and remember it's about the process, not the product.

No, usually I move slowly. One of my nicknames is "Slow-phie".

Great idea! When friends were here we really did do that once! I do make wine and have a wine cooler in my scraproom (grin). The cards aren't perfect but we sure didn't care much!

I am the slowest card maker in the universe. It's not uncommon to take 2 or 3 days to make one. When I do have a deadline or must hurry, all I have is a mess.
