The truth is, I haven't had the motivation to do much of anything, especially something creative or crafty. I suffer from anxiety and depression. Some days I don't feel like doing anything at all, especially crafting. Some of those days I force myself to sit down at my craft table and try to work on something, even if it is just sewing up a hole on one of the boys' stuffed animals.
So, since my last post, I finished quilting the stocking I was working on, but I have not pieced it together. I have to sew the topper on, then sew the front to the back and then it will be done. Yeah, just that easy.
So, I have been papercrafting since I last posted.

Tonight is Friday Night Crop at my LSS (local scrapbook store) and I'm hoping to complete 4 paper gingerbread houses from the same pattern I used for Halloween houses last year as gifts for the boys' teaches (one kid has 2 teaches).
Now, off to grab my slippers since the craft room/dining room floor is cold and I need to get off the computer and get some crafting done.
Until next time.... (and hopefully sooner than 3 weeks)

Fin here; I'm really sorry that you're struggling with depression. It seems like something that most artistic/crafty people deal with from time to time, and this time of year often seems to be the worst for us.
I hope that it lets up soon, and that you find your creative mojo. *offers hugs*
Awww, thanks Fin! December has been a rough month for me for the past 6 years, and today is the worst day.
I think today is a good day to crank the radio up and clear off my craft desk so I can try to get it ready for some Christmas Break crafting.
