They made the Cat Olympics US Team in pairs sleeping, you know! :)<br /><br />I’ve found over the years, that if I’m suffering from creative block, exercise works wonders. I have osteoarthritis in my knee now, so I have a recumbent bike that does the trick, but I used to walk out the door and keep walking when I needed a creative boost. They used to laugh at me when I was a cable TV producer, because I’d just leave the building and walk around the parking lot, but I always came back with an idea!<br /><br />The trick is to do something to give your brain a rest, something that takes no thinking. Steven Covey calls it “sharpen the saw, it works wonders! <br /><br />Well, anyway, it does for me. ::shrugs:: Good luck on beating that block!Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376476093305279684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303472281882586757.post-4366501437094594002010-02-19T23:26:37.097-05:002010-02-19T23:26:37.097-05:00and now I feel stupid because I guess it posted an...and now I feel stupid because I guess it posted anyway. ha!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142200894521151564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303472281882586757.post-839133982996090582010-02-19T11:49:23.151-05:002010-02-19T11:49:23.151-05:00I totally commented here and it disappeared. :-(
...I totally commented here and it disappeared. :-(<br /><br />I'm in a slump too right now. Hope to get out of it soon. The only pages I've done in the last month or so are my 365 pages...<br /><br />Here's what I try:<br />1. Look in online galleries for inspiration... either for subject, colors, designs, or page titles<br /><br />2. Look for a new kit to use<br /><br />3. Look through kits I have that I haven't used or ones that I haven't used in a long time<br /><br />Here's to getting out of slumps! <br /><br />PS - thanks for the word art!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142200894521151564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303472281882586757.post-17351064211218448182010-02-19T11:40:07.032-05:002010-02-19T11:40:07.032-05:00Usually I cruise the net for inspiration.

I have a folder on my computer where I download pages from others that I like and want to scraplift but don't have time or don't have the pictures yet. Sometimes I look at kits that I haven't used yet or that I haven't used in a long time and see if any of them give me inspiration. <br /><br />I've been in a slump lately, too. The only pages I've done this month are my 365 pages. I just can't seem to get motivated. Here's to both of us finding some motivation!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142200894521151564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303472281882586757.post-6868547641244102262010-02-19T01:41:34.248-05:002010-02-19T01:41:34.248-05:00Thank you for freebies.
