WOYWW #212 Work Desk Busy
It is once again WOYWW #212, time for a world wide Blog hop of creative work desks! You can go here To Julia's lovely Blog to pick up the hop: http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/, Grab a cuppa and enjoy!!
I've been very busy with life the last two weeks and it being in the 90's so for the last two days I've taken a little break from card making. Sometimes pulling away form a task can help you reenergize and regroup.
I have a friend that produces Stunning cards, time after time and she has decided to sell all her supplies. Why, because it is time for her to move on in her life, and where she is moving to there is no time and no space for this craft. It is a firm decision in her creative life to close one door and open another and I applaud her. Some people becomes slaves to their craft, it owns then in the way of time and money, physical space and emotional real estate. I can't stress enough the importance of finding balance in every area, especially for women who have so many demands in their every day.
The first Place I find my balance in the short term and the long term is the Word Of God , or in non church talk - The bible. It's words are life and light and I need it every day. In these uncertain times, it is certain. If you don't read it and are interested, start with the book of John in the Gospels, it will answer so many questions you may have and bring you hope and peace.
On my work desk ( my computer work desk) I found some wonderful new fonts at the site DaFont.com. These are in the calligraphy section and are free, there are many, many to choose from. I have been using this site since the 1990's and have never had a problem. I use these beautiful fonts in my card making and calligraphy art work.
On My regular work desk, just a small task. Getting ready to color a few swallow tails for upcoming cards!
Tonight I will be going out with three wonderful women whom I have been friends with for 30+ years! That is a long time, a lot of life, a lot of good, bad and ugly. We all love the Lord and His word as well as each other. Friendships; one of the great treasures of life!
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!

I just recently went through this. I have never been a slave to my craft. I am good at balancing things. I am grateful for that. I bought a home and it changed everything for me. I had new things I wanted to do like decorate my new home. :) Design a beautiful garden and start doing heavy investing. I am still doing my art. I am actually creating more than I ever had. My change was my new home keeps me so entertained I found new balances. I stopped posting at a lot of my favorite forums. I don't miss it. I stopped stuying what is going on in the craft world. CHA is next month I am not interested.
I am more happy and creative than ever. I look forward to the time I go to my craft studio every night.
I hope you had a lovely time with your friends. I like the M&M's on your desk. :)
I have formatted greeting frequently but only with Word fonts...? just dont get the otehr...
ah yes balance having that constantly right in life is well nigh impossible!!
.. without the wisdom that comes from above, it is impossible, but "with God all things are possible".. including getting our priorities right..
love and happy WOYWW Shaz in Oz.x
