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: 

quotes, power words, blah to TADA

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:

gratitude, hand lettering, modern calligraphy, recycle a perfume vial, perfume vial turned pendant, handmade jewelry, blah to TADA

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


rubber stamps, craft stamps, alphabet stamps, ink pad, gift wrapping, packaging, small business owner, blah to TADA

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


quote, brush lettering, quote, power words, Abbey Sy, penmanship, handwriting, colored pens, blah to TADA

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


dip pen, white ink, dark paper, Jessica Hische quote, penmanship, handwriting, modern calligraphy, blah to 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!"
