Today's Lesson From The Craft Room: Acknowledge Your Contribution
It's funny how it can be so easy to blame others for whatever situation we are in or for whatever we are upset about. We say things to ourselves like "I can't believe she is making me do this! What a (insert your choice of word here)!" The more difficult thing to do is to step away from blame and acknowledge our contribution - what have we done or not done that has brought us to this place. I realize one of thing things I'm really good at NOT doing is saying "no" and by not saying "no" I can find myself in situations that I am angry about and begin to blame everyone. What I need to do is recognize my contribution - it's not about blame - and ask myself if I want to keep contributing in this way. I'm going to work on saying "no" a bit more often
Today's card looked fun in my mind, but maybe a bit goofier in reality I went with 1) neutral images; 2) neutrals; 3) die cuts/punches/embossing. I used the color spritzer tool with a basic black marker to make the background and punched holes in the whisper white paper with my crop-o-dile and my 1 1/2" circle punch. The boy got a mohawk with a marker Hope you like it...and if you don't, it's okay, I think you rock anyway

Glad I clicked on this - that li'l guy is too cute! I actually laughed out loud... Love that you added a 'mo' with a marker, and thank you, as well, for your 'lesson' - well said!
