I know why they call this designer series paper Happiness Blooms, because no matter how bad a mood I’m in, when I grab this paper off my shelf, I just feel happy! I’ve been working on my taxes since Saturday and I think I finished them last night. Well, that’s what I said when I handed them over to my CPA. Now comes the dreaded waiting. What better way to combat tax anxiety? Hit my craft studio, of course?
How many of you craft your cares away? I know I do. Seriously, I can be in the worst mood, or worried, or sad, but when I enter my studio, that’s my safe space. I can forget my troubles and create something beautiful. It’s as if the mind can’t create beauty if it’s focused on the negative. So…next time you’re feeling low, grab your stamps, paper, and ink and go craft. I know you’ll feel better that you did!

Sharing what we love with others through card making takes our minds off of ourselves and our concerns and gives others much joy and brings smiles. This is why I love what we do!
Shirley, I couldn’t have said it better myself.
