This is a serious behind the scenes look, honest conversation about my thoughts and decisions.
Several months ago I thought I was ready to "retire" and stop teaching and sharing my love of paper crafting. I was truly just spinning in place. I have felt this way before and tried different directions but sometimes I have to be willing to admit I was wrong. I should have just stepped back for a bit and not rushed into an all or nothing choice.
I had a wonderful summer camping at the lake and yes I did teach myself to knit too! I tried using other papers, stamps and coloring. I even tried using just my Cricut but all of those options left me wandering aimlessly. I missed belonging to the Stampin' Up! community and the coordinated products.
I love teaching simple cards, sometimes sharing the Cricut Joy but sometimes just paper, stamps and ink is relaxing too. I have streamlined my online world and plan to share on my card tutorials on my YouTube channel and this blog.
EDITED: Yes I did it again! Come see what's new here MY STAMPIN UP! STORE
I have not re joined Stampin' Up! just yet but plan to over the next few days. I hope you understand my decision a little bit more.
Good for you, Cara! There's nothing wrong with changing your mind or taking a break. It's all about what makes you happy ! Hope you're doing well!
