Hello dear friends. I miss you guys!
Sorry things have been so quiet around here. I've been feeling a little on the quiet side. Seems like i took a bit of an unexpected blog and crafty break. Well, after today, i think it is safe to say that i'm finding my blogging and crafty mojo again. Tell me this is normal... that sometimes we just kinda fall into a slump.
The hightlight of my week so far would definitely be these new little cards that i've received from the local print shop. These little cards will now adore and mail along with all my packages.
I'll be back soon i promise! I hope your having a good week so far. Love to you and yours!

Hello. You are not alone- it's bound to happen from time to time, we all need a stop gap once in a while so we can recharge!
Have a good week

Hi, Jacqueline! A break is very ok--even an unannounced one... A break is always a good thing--it's refreshing, rejuvenating. Quiet is ok--nothing wrong with that, and sometimes it's the very thing to help us get going again. :o) Take your time and do what makes you happy! LOVE, LOVE, love the new cards--they are such fun and very smart! So is the "matching" new banner! Happy Days, my friend ((HUGS))

Perfectly normal having a break - you have to replenish your creativity Jacqueline!! These cards are very, very sweet by the way!

Sometimes we just need a break. And the cards are gorgeous.
You take care :)

It is absolutely normal! In fact, I think we need these quiet times or slumps in order to get re-energized, and think of new ideas. It's fine to take a break. :)

Creative slumps are no fun, but I think most of us have them every so often. Glad to hear you're feeling better! Your cards are adorable!

Oh yeah, it's normal! I am bordering on a slump myself, but trying so hard to fight it off. Maybe I should just give in to it for a few days for a break and to find some motivation. Love your new cards! Hope you are back to yourself soon! XO

Your cards are gorgeous! So bright and friendly.
I think we all go through slumps where we "ignore" certain things, such as blogging, sewing, whatever, for a little while and concentrate on other things. Sometimes certain things get a bit much and I think it is good to "take a break" and refresh yourself...glad you are back though!

It is good to have a break sometimes, enjoy it. The inspiration will come back. Love that cards. If you have one left send me........ hahaha. Talk soon girl.

Oh, I hope it is normal...I am going through a totally blogging slump myself. I love those new cards you designed, and they look beautiful as your blog banner too. Such cheerful blues!

Great to see you back in action! Totally understanding the need for a break sometimes though.
Posted by: Cookie Cutter | June 24, 2009 at 07:49 PM
The new cards look great!
Don't worry we all need a break sometimes! I have had a hectic week myself and hope to get back in gear by next week.
Take care and look forward to seeing more from you when you are ready.

More than normal! lol!
Sometimes we just need to take a breath and clear our head ;) Soon the mood will change :D
I'm having to much work to do :S Less time for crafts, blog, flickr.. :(
I'm near a deadline... I really-really need to finish the project I'm working in. After that I'll relax and enjoy my thread and needle ;)
Recharge your energy and return soon!
Nia, xoxoxo

The new cards are adorable! And, of course, everyone needs a break now and then!
Posted by: Heather | June 25, 2009 at 05:31 PM
Oh, we all have those periods - it's the ebb and flow of the creative process I think. The cards are so cute. Have a happy weekend!
Posted by: Dyan | June 25, 2009 at 05:42 PM
Hope you're ok!
Have a great weekend :)
Kisses, Nia xoxoxoxo

Believe me, I definitely get my quiet periods. I think a break is just needed sometimes--if only to refresh!

The creative slump always happens to me and it always makes me feel bad. But it always turns around and I miss painting. Glad you're back!
Posted by: melissa moss | July 04, 2009 at 10:11 AM
I'm recovering from the exact same thing right now. Like everyone has said, taking a break and replenishing your spirit is important! Don't feel guilty about it, just enjoy the quiet and come back when you miss it! Thinking of you!

Hi fellow fishie! Count me in, too. I'm up then down, riding the "slump" roller-coaster this week. It's good we have two more classes to look forward to though! That makes me feel better : )

jqline, I MISS YOU THIS MUCH. AND I HEART YOU SO. I blogged about being in a slump today too.
I also wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your never ending encouragement while I studied for my nursing boards. U can bet I passed with flying colors because of your well wishes! hope all is well sweetie...gina

It happens sometimes. It shows that you need to go out, do other things to get new inspiration. Since I am back home in Africa, I did not touch my art supplies but I have been looking around a lot. I have new ideas, new colors and patterns dancing in my head now...
The cards are cute!
