SCRAP ADDICT: So Stoked! Confession Time & Any Questions?!
I was reading your post on an ipad and had to come upstairs to write back on a real computer. (YOU GOT ME OFF THE COUCH as it's bedtime here in NY and my time for pjs and checking out other people's pages so that is how important I felt it was to write back) I am at that point you were discussing so I guess I am at Stage 1, not on any DT's and questioning why. Am I not good enough, not got the right name, etc. it's nice to know I am not the only person who has ever felt that way! One tries not to worry about all that, but then, why spend the time on LO's for challenges and the actual time for the post. I see now how it could just keep building...And perhaps the blessing of your post is to remind me that I really do it because I love it. And, I suppose because other people (not even just "followers") say reading my blog each day makes them happy. So, I say to you AND Nadia (whose blog I also stalk regularly) that yes less is more, but regardless of what super important cool magazine that features your work..there are girls checking out your work and enjoying it..it brightens their world a bit. And although we don't even "know" you we are a bit sad when you are sad and hope that things get better soon.
And Nadia, who cares if your style fits any magaine's style, I try to copy you all the time. It's awesome just the way it is.

Oh my! thank you SOOO very much ...you have just made my day. I will surely pass this on to Helen. I was were you were just 6 months ago...not on any DT..wondering if anyone will ever take me on. Then ,,,just like Helen I got quite a number of DT's in a matter of weeks..NOW? I am trying to scale back.
ReplyDeleteYes you are right...its not just the creating..its the blogging, the commenting, the posting...everything just consumes you! I have OUAS which I love and want to concentrate on that for a bit, plus have a little break from feeling like a machine you know. So I have a hew things rounding up and a few things starting but yes..sometime be careful of what you wish for.
Wow! Well now I am so stoked x 2!! Nadia has just e mailed me the link & I am commenting from my blackberry after 4 in the morning! I was so nervous pressing "publish" on that post & just wasn't sure if it was best to wear my heart on my sleeve or not, but I have really had so much of all this on my mind for so many days of late that I really needed to offload onto people who I was sincerely hoping FELT LIKE ME! I talk to my hubs about it but only a scrapper who is after the same things can actually understand & empathise. Too often we are afraid to be honest but we are all the same & all started in the same place. My advice to you Mitralee is to keep at it. It's not easy or quick & requires real resolve to keep going no matter what, but most importantly have a healthy attitude toward your ambitions & don't allow them to consume you or the disappointment can be too much to bear. Thank you so much for featuring my post on your blog. I am beyond flattered! Your time will definitely come for the DTs I can see that :)
