This is why I never scrapbook. Because once I get an idea in my head and I actually get going on it... there is no stopping me. And there is certainly no stopping if it isn't perfect.
You might have seen my room recently. Pretty much my entire wall (and then some) was covered with pictures in a checkerboard pattern. But I realized the other night that I didn't like the set up anymore, for several reasons. a) I barely talk to most of the people that were on there. b) When I did this at home, SOOO many pictures fell off the wall, and I was always too lazy to fix it. So I'd have empty spaces all over the place, and it was just really ugly. c) I just needed a change. So I got pictures of my best friends (plus my car and a band... I needed them to complete the pattern), some of my family, and my missionaries.
I decided to do something special for the missionary section. I gave all of the guys (T-Dub, Trent Howard from Freedom Academy, Mark, Tyrell, Mike, and Thomas... I know Tyrell doesn't leave for like 2 more weeks, but I just decided to put him up there so I wouldn't have to go through this again when he actually does leave. haha) their own little nametags. Sometime in the near future, I plan on putting their addresses up there as well. I think it'll be a little more encouragement for me to write to them. /:
So yeah. Basically, I've come to the following conclusion: I do enjoy crafty things, and I like to think I'm kind of good at them. But in reality... I get WAY too stressed over perfecting the dumbest little things, so for the sake of my blood pressure and life expectancy, I'm going to keep the scrapbooking to a minimum.
