A Midyear Pep Talk

Hello Everyone!

How is it that it's already the middle of the year?

I hope you are slowly crossing off the list that you made at the start of 2022. Are you feeling accomplished, frustrated or defeated? Wherever you're at, celebrate your little victories and don't be too hard on yourself if the task isn't done. Sometimes there are things that we can't control. And that's okay.

I came across this message on social media. It didn't give credit to writer but I hope he/she doesn't mind that I'm sharing it with you. It resonated with me and maybe it'll encourage you, too: 

In this time where "likes," "hearts," "views," and "followers" are the indicators of success, don't let this dictate what you create. Keep making things that are authentically your own because you'll never know who you're inspiring.

If you're in the mood to turn "blah to TADA!" here are a few easy crafts from the archives:

Make a pendant out of an empty perfume vial...TADA!

Create your own packaging or gift wrapping using rubber stamps...TADA!

Dabble in hand lettering with words that inspire...TADA!

Practice your calligraphy using quotes that hold meaning to you...TADA!

Embroider a plain pouch with your favorite phrase...TADA!

Don't stop creating and keep turning "blah to TADA!"
