Hearts Galore

How funny is it that I got all ready and raring to go with my crafting projects, my brain full of ideas to the point it felt like it was going to burst and then I sat down to actually *do* something and...poof.

I instantly felt stuck. Jammed. Like all my ideas flew out of my head. Then my dad came to visit from the US for a week. Then *we* went to the US for what was supposed to be a 2 week visit but turned into a month and a half.

I think because I was so happy and excited to get this small business going that it's actually terrified me and I was able to use my trip home and other bits of life, to get in the way. Using it as an excuse almost. "I don't have the time for that right now." "Maybe tomorrow."

Because what if it doesn't work out? What if I'm a huge failure? What if I'm a huge success and people all across the land are beating down my virtual door to place an order?!

I realize I am really putting the cart before the horse but it's just the way my thought process has always worked. I think everything through with multiple scenarios. It can be exhausting at times and also a bit of a downer. For some reason I tend to lean towards the more negative side. Although I'm working really hard to get more on the positive side.

But in the end, I'm trying something new and I am going to just push on through that fear. Something really great could happen and it's that hope, that desire, that is going to keep me motivated when things get tough and one of my project bombs...

What I've Worked On:

Alphabet Table Confetti (I'm thinking ideal for weddings). The idea is that they can be used like the fun fridge magnetic words.

Spell out something fun, a message to the happy couple perhaps? Or Mr & Mrs? I like the idea of using #lastname and then taking a picture for Instagram as couples are wont to do these day with creating their own wedding hash tag!

There will also be fun things like ! ? & # Maybe even some hearts IN the hearts #heartception

Unfortunately my dog felt the need to show her displeasure at the English language being stored in a tiny dictionary...so I'll be using it to make some fun dictionary table confetti

I have my eye out for more in the "Midget" series but have yet to come across any! This one is from 1964.
