Christmas and New Year's 2017 Update

Today is the first day of 2017! Yayyyy :) I'm so ready for a new year, new goals, new bucket lists, and some changes in my life.

First off, I'd like to apologize for not being active on my blog or YouTube channel for a few months now. I'm still getting adjusted to my new job; spending some of my free time studying to improve my performance at work. This has also left me exhausted at night and on my days off to do much of anything other than the upkeep of my home. Of course the last few months have been busy with all the holidays and family visiting. I'm just started to get my home back together and hoping to put away the Christmas decorations soon. After that, I hope to be more active on my blog and YouTube channel.

One of my goals this year is to set out a schedule for myself (home upkeep, studying, and crafting) that I can commit to following. As far as crafting, I have many, many new stamps, dies, and supplies that I've purchased and not shared - I don't like doing haul videos anymore unless I have samples to show with it, otherwise, it just seems like, "Look what I got!" and that's totally not the purpose at all. Anything I've gotten past few months just got organized with everything else. I do hope to bring some of those things out to finally use them as I begin crafting again.

One issue, I feel like I just have lost my mojo for a while. I've made cards here and there from kits. I also made my Christmas cards. Below is a sample of a few of them. I've even gotten SSS kits that I haven't even touched or done anything with. To try and get my mojo going again, I'm going to start incorporating sketch challenges into my crafting. So here's my *tentative* planned schedule:

Monday: Mojo Monday - blog post

Wednesday: SSS Wednesday Challenge - blog post

Friday-Sunday: YouTube video

2016 Christmas Cards

Thanks for stopping by! Happy crafting :)
