Moving is exhausting, cut yourself some slack.

I do that ALL the time. You'll never lose the crafty talent that's for sure so just take it one day at a time and you will love the house. I promise it will feel like home once you are ready for it to feel that way.Charlene Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453785536750471771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651196654385754958.post-11721555114846296872011-09-17T15:44:47.115-04:002011-09-17T15:44:47.115-04:00I've felt that way about stamping many a times...I've felt that way about stamping many a times...I must say the remedy for the last time was getting a Silhouette (c'mon, you know you want one!). <br /><br />I think this is definitely stripe-y enough for the Embellish challenge!

Just give it a bit of time, once all the boxes are put away and you finally settle on a place for everything.... being in the Army and moving a lot, I know that sometimes it can take a while for a place to really feel like "home." Sometimes months even. Try not to get too down. I definitely understand not being in crafty-mode tho, been there myself a lot recently. That too will pass, don't you worry!! <br /><br />And though you may have pushed yourself to make this card, I totally love it! The looped twine is a perfect touch- adds dimension and texture and I think I may need to borrow that technique ;) *huggs*Shauna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116806565044227648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651196654385754958.post-89122282701660166002011-09-16T08:14:03.985-04:002011-09-16T08:14:03.985-04:00Roses and cow pies.

You feel you should be happy now but moving is only the start of something big and it'll take time to have it the way you want it. Maybe you need to make organising your craft space a priority - I know I can't craft in a mess - your family will benefit because happy mum=happy family.

It's all so overwhelming- things will fall into place you just have to give it some time. In other words- C-H-I-L-L-A-X!<br />As for your lost mojo- how can you focus on crafting right now with all these other things in your head? Talent doesn't just disappear. Sheesh- give yourself a break! Think about those words you stamped, my friend- LUCKY, FUN, HAPPY. All 3 of which should apply to you right now :)<br /><br />OH yes- CONGRATS!! on your PS guest designer spot :) So excited<br />for you!! Big hugs, Emily!!

I have only moved because I wanted to, not because of a job or because I 'had to', or even sometimes, when you want to, it's still hard to make a new house feel like home. I'm sure the stress is the culprit- no one wants to create when we're feeling pressured. I am TOTALLY with you on that this week but for other reasons- nothing bad, just a lot to think about. I am here if you want to vent via email but if not, just know you're on my mind, sweet girl <3Jessica Diedrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15750204795152644091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651196654385754958.post-56812731684909664562011-09-15T14:59:27.953-04:002011-09-15T14:59:27.953-04:00So sorry for the bummed out feelings, hope they pa...So sorry for the bummed out feelings, hope they pass soon.

Moving is a huge stress and I remember being sad when we built the house we currently own. Even though I loved the newness of everything, I mourned those things from my old house that would never be possible here. The big oak trees in my yard, all of the wonderful architecture from days of old, and my old dutch door! It takes time, but you will eventually find your groove and learn to love your house and make it your own!<br /><br />Your card is awesome, by the way! I don't think your mojo has left you!<br /><br />Hugs!<br />EmilyEmily (stampingout on SCS)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16829013485372271052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651196654385754958.post-19108082924738252952011-09-15T12:40:59.372-04:002011-09-15T12:40:59.372-04:00Emily, it takes awhile to get use to the new home ...Emily, it takes awhile to get use to the new home and you will love it. <br />Love the arrows and strips on this card.

A very intuitive/professional person once told me it's because something has been taken away from us i.e., the waiting and wishing/dreaming.<br />Hope that makes sense and your feelings WILL pass.<br />Vee xxVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302477636830015399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651196654385754958.post-25236058934691726162011-09-15T10:52:31.430-04:002011-09-15T10:52:31.430-04:00Your post made me sad--your mojo isn't gone fo...Your post made me sad--your mojo isn't gone for forever!
