Reigning It All In...

So I am quite certain I can't be the only one out there who wishes there were more hours in a day and more days in a week? Lately I feel my mind going in every direction possible and I am really struggling to reign it all in and gain a little control over my days, but also my thoughts!

There are SO many things I want to do...and some I don't really want to do, but need to do! Take pictures. Edit pictures. Make bows. Make other fun hair pretties. Sew. Make tutus. Blog design. Digital design. Read. Exercise. Play. Clean. Sort. Organize. Quicken. List things on Ebay. Plan parties. Relax. Paper craft projects. SOOO many things to do. Each day I am torn on what "project" I should work on and how what little free time I have should be spent. Each day I partially complete something and spend the rest of the day going in circles cleaning up messes and wishing I had more done.

I don't think I'll ever be able to complete my long list of wants...and I am trying to learn to accept that. But it is hard. I think if you have a creative mind {in any aspect}, so much of who you are and what you love revolves around that. It is FUN to try new things and work on different projects. But the fun for me is now turning to stress. I have a half made pinafore sitting on top of a large pile of really cute and fun fabric that will probably never turn into anything because I simply don't have the time to learn to sew that I want. Plus, I am thinking it really isn't my niche in the domestic world! I wish it were, but I just don't think I have the patience for it!! And then there is the huge tub of ribbon waiting to be made into hair bows and other fun stuff! And my cabinet of paper, stamps, embellishments, you name it, just sitting, rarely opened these days. So many things, so little time!

Because I love so many things, sometimes I find it hard to focus. I want to do it all! But I am human after all and I fully admit I just can't!! Take my love of blog design for example. LOVE it, but the reality is that I simply cannot spend 15 hours designing and coding a blog when I have a giant list of other things to do. And because my true passion is photography, I am trying to find a way to to mesh design, crafting AND photography together. I have a few ideas, but it will take some time to figure it all out! Wish me luck!! {I am willing to create designs here and there but will have to charge $100. Believe me, I know it seems outrageous, with the amount of time it takes and projects on my plate, I simply cannot do it for less.}

I did just create another blog last week though and am ready to share that! I was waiting until she posted on it before I revealed her new look!



Carly found me through a comment I left on another blog and contacted me about creating a new look for her! She chose a kit that I probably never would have chosen for my own blog design since I am drawn to the more vibrant colors but I had SO much fun on this!! I absolutely love the final product and hope she does too! Thanks for the opportunity to create this for you Carly!

I also wanted to say that this is pretty much my last post here at "Graham Cracker Crumbs." I will post again soon telling you where to find me at. I am a bit sad to be saying goodbye to this sweet little site and my home here at Blogger, but I can't wait to see where this next chapter in my life takes me!

I'll be back in a few days and let you know where to find me! For now I am off to take care of my kiddos! Chris has been out of town and will be home later this evening and we are SO ready to see him!
