Life

Hello folks! This may not be the most cheery post I have ever made, but its pretty real. Life happens. You know that. Those two little words can mean that life is hard, life is complicated or generally just not good. "Life happens" in my case means some of all of that, yet life is still full of blessings every day. Most recently, life has been busy. Busy-ness has run my days instead of myself being in charge of my days. Its frustrating and I often leave much undone. Creativity, in these times, takes the back seat to other little things that some how take over. I am doing my best to get a handle on life, rejoice in the good times, and the creative time that I can eke out in between the hard and difficult days. I trudge on, with new goals and dreams as I move on.

The new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog is live now. Within those pages are many fun, beautiful and inspirational products for the year coming up. Along with card making supplies, we now see a respectable offering of scrapbooking supplies and kits. Scrapbooking is a skill that I enjoyed in past years, and look forward to getting back into it again. I have many ideas for the smaller 6 x 8 scrapbooks in the coming year. Many using the Memories and More products that accompany the card products. So one goal of mine for the coming year is to become more comfortable with scrapbooking supplies from Stampin' Up!

Another goal is to produce more reels, videos and blog posts to become more connected to my customers. Teaching card making, paper crafting, and now scrapbooking is what I really enjoy. So I will be looking for more ways to teach what I love!

So watch for upcoming news, blogs and online classes from me in the near future. And please Like and Follow my Happy Hands Create business page on Facebook. I need more followers so I can post Live videos! And share it so your friends that enjoy crafting can follow me too!

This has turned in to a fairly long post- all to say that life has been hard. But I am sticking with my plan and moving ahead. There will be more info coming up soon! Thank you for reading my blog!

Keep those Happy Hands crafting!
