I am having a craving to do more crafts this week. My schedule is pretty busy so we will see what I can get in, but I want to do more. As you can see my busy started this weekend I missed my Saturday Six and my Unconscious mutterings. No matter I will catch them this week. One of my things to do this year (I don’t do resolutions) was to not stress about the small list so stuff, so here is hoping I can keep to that.
I did some ATC’s for Swap bot over the weekend and I am looking forward to posting them for you to see once I get a chance to crop the images. I think doing these again is what has caused my craving for crafts. I am thinking perhaps about making an Altar box out of a shoe box. I saw on my Facebook that another friend did that and it got me very curious, so I may have to make one of my own.
In other not crafty news I am irked I missed the first half of Bones so missed Dmitry (boo), I will watch it once it is online. It is COLD (I am sure there are others colder than me, and I am content with my letter writing so far this month but not overjoyed. I have sent 16 mail pieces so far in January. While that is a decent amount of course in order to make my goal of 500 for the year I need to do about 41 per month, I suppose however if I divide that down further for the month I am on track as it is only the 14th. I tend to push myself a little bit on my mailing. I have kept to my challenge to myself of writing down a break down of what is what so far. 8 have been letters, 4 postcards and 4 packages with notes. I have not added in my ATC mailings yet or I would count those (so I guess my total is higher and I am babbling ha.)
I did get a comment earlier that mentioned quality over quantity. Now I agree in that fully however I do not think having a goal for myself (yes higher than most) that I suffer in quality. I think that every person has their limits on what they can do and turn out and still maintain quality. While some people may be able to only do one or two letters per week that are quality someone else may be able to do one or two per day. Doesn’t mean one is better than the other. I take pride and joy in each letter, package, postcard and ATC I send out. I have three letters heading out that I wrote today each of them is 4 or more pages (full large pages not letter sheets) and personal to each pen pal. I read, reply and inform of my goings on personally to each of my pen pals. So I think that gives quality. Don’t you?
