Default Someday I'll Stamp Again

Okay...
So I have this great new job.
I have some extra money
I basically made my quota by myself this quarter

I've got about 5 new sets and 5 on the way

I've got tons of embossing poweder, pearl ex, paper and all of the stuff to do the techniques

I've got the new cutter....which I'm LEARNING TO LIKE

And all of these pictues to scrapbook.....

However

I HAVE NO MOTIVATION!!!!!

I don't have to be at work till Monday.
I have all day Friday and Saturday to play...and some of Sunday

What do I do!!!!

***Sigh***

Most of my friends sadly aren't stampers

and the ones that would like to be, just don't have time right now.

I'm a lone stamper

I do some cyberstamping occasionally w/ Sparklinbecks...

do you have any family or friends who have birthdays in Jan or Feb ?

You could also get a head start on Valentines....

or just enjoy some time to yourself doing something else & in a few days or (weeks) you'll be at it again

I know how you feel. My mother lives 2 hours away and my best friend just moved two hours the other direction so I am a lone stamper now too.

Default Inspiration??

If I am stuck in a rut, what I usually do is start by taking out some of my new things and just look at them. I try to imagine what I would do. I also hit this site's Gallery and the gallery at another site and look up my sets by name to see what other stampers have done. That usually starts the juices, or in this case, ink, flowing for me!! Good Luck!

Since I got my new digital camera, I am uploading some Scrapbook pages that I did a while back since no one has seen them...hopefully seeing them online will help me w/ my motivation.

Maybe if you start cleaning your house, doing laundry, and other housework, you might feel like stamping instead :lol:

sometimes when I get that way it just so happens to be on a day when my 3 yr old son wants to make a card for daddy and it helps me get back in the mood to stamp and we usually end up making several cards so that his "sissy can sign one" (she is going to be 2 next month. Seeing them get so excited about making cards for daddy or nana or gandma or grandpa helps me out lots.

Hope this helps

Default thank you notes

Hi there:

I think we can all feel for you. However, have you thought about just making some "thank you" notes. Those might help you get into the mood to stamp for other people. Our sets are so versatile any sets can help you with just a simple a "thank you" note.

Happy New Year!!!
