Thinking and More Thinking

I've spent the past week thinking about ideas for my blog and came up with some great ideas. As I started working on building up some posts to get me started, and so I don't feel overwhelmed, I realized that these ideas are a lot more work than I imagined they would be. I will be doing some paring down and rethinking.
Don'tcha just love how I'm always thinking and planning and never doing. Argh. At least I now know that I am actually working towards something.
Also, Christmas is coming! I need to either get started on creating gifts, or decide whether or not just to give out gift certificates this year. Last year I made all my gifts for everyone. Still thinking about that one.
So, stay tuned. Eventually I'll get a schedule worked out and will be posting some good content. Ideally I would have had that all worked out before I started this blog, but I never do things in the ideal way; I just do them my way.

Things to Work Out

Now that I am out of school, and feeling really lost and unorganized, I'm trying to get focused on what it is I really want to do with this here blog, and my life in general. I keep saying that I need to refocus, or get focused, but the more I do that, the more lost I feel.
I think I know what it is I want. Along with that knowledge, comes the fear. The fear of failure, the fear of losing everything, the fear of not making it. Right now I have a 40 hour a week job; a job I am not too happy with, but it pays the bills and it has it's benefits. The job though is not 9 to 5; it's all over the place, so I really have no way of setting up a schedule when I know I can work here. This is something I will need to work on over the coming weeks. I can't schedule my creativeness, so I will need to save things up for future posts; work on things when I do have the time to use in the future.
I have some ideas for weekly/ monthly posts here. Something to bring people here and share the love of crafting and being creative. I hope you will hang in there with me and come back often. I don't want to say right now what those things will be as I don't want to make promises that I can't keep. So for now, I will work out what of my goals here I can.
I've always said that change can be a good thing, but at the same time it is really hard and scary when you don't know the outcome. I really am looking forward to what I hope the outcome will be.

Key Chains

Needed to do something crafty today, found some old key chains and went from there. I love making things as I go a long. I almost never have something in mind when I start creating. It's a step by step process for me that usually begins with one object and creating as I hold the piece. I also got a chance to practice more with the Nikon's settings. Anyway, here are the key chains:







I'm enjoying the process of finding my creative niche and learning as I go.
