Lost mojo Rant!

[faerywings]

I know that I have said this before, and that all of you have gone through this at some point as well, but I LOST my MOJO!! And I want it BACK!!!!
:rant:

I have gone through a period of over a month now of hating everything I scrap. I struggle and struggle. Yesterday, I started one page three times for a July Challenge. In fact, the last one I named "ONE More for July.psd" I have tried scraplifting, templates, going "clean" as opposed to using masking/blending/paint.
I even thought for a (very) fleeting moment that I should step down as a Cheery-O if I couldn't scrap any longer.

I know that this too shall pass. But I am hoping that if I yell about it, it will pass a little faster. :tongue1:

Tell me about it! I haven't even gotten another page scrapped besides my June page. I am stalled on scrapping!

 

[margje]

I never had it , but i'm afraid for this feeling because i scrap a lot! I have periods i don't feel like scrapping so much and then i want to go outside, read artsy magazines ,listen to music, and soak some inspiration in! Maybe that helpes and works preventing! I think forcing it and stressing about it will make it worse! But i can imagen that its not fun at all, and that you want it back! Sometimes it needs a vacation! Hope you'll have it back soon!

I was going to rant about this today too!! Yesterday with all the time in the world on my hands and all I did was sit here in front of my photoshop and stared at a blank screen!!!

I want my MOJO back too!!!

 

[scrap-genie]

I don't know if mine is gone, but I'm just not drawn to even try right now. Chris, you do such wonderful pages, I known they'll be back soon. Trudy, you too.

 

[Nickel]

I know how you feel! Too much stres.es going on for me. Hope you'll gert it back soon

 

[sberkan]

Well, I hope you find your mojo...I think I have mine but I certainly haven't had time to put anything together lately! This end of school and ball season is keeping me crazy busy!

Chris you've got a hell of a lot on your plate at the moment so no wonder you don't feel like scrapping and you don't have to Photoshop is there for you, not the other way round, just like housework the house is there for you, not you for the house. Anyway that's my motto.

It will come back at some stage and it's no use to get your knickers in a twist about it. :tape:
As for stopping as a Cheery-O ?? what would the O be without you???:horn: lost

 

[faerywings]

Ellen, tell me how you *really* feel! ound:

You are all so supportive, and I thank you! It felt good to get that rant out and I have been able to finish one page since then, and am almost done with the first one I had started/trashed/started/trashed.

Hope that the mojo continues to flow to all of you and life calms down so we all can have the time to enjoy it all.

 

[twinsmomflor]

I know that feeling. For me when I am under a lot of stress at work. It will come back.

 

[timounette]

Stress is not good for mojo. I scrap less too...
send you good vibes Chris !

I think it´s this time of the year, most of us have summer. If rain counts as summer:laugh:. I have this too at the moment where I prefer my sofa more than my pc. So no panic Chris it will come back. And the idea to step down as a CT, this is no option at all

 

[faerywings]

Yes, this weather adds to it, one the one hand I love it when it is sunny and I can be outside. But that cuts into scrap time. On the other hand, when it is cold and rainy like today, it makes me cranky.
I did scrap a page or so yesterday that I didn't absolutely hate, so I am in the right direction.

 

[ptabbert]

It is a very scary feeling! I've found that when my MOJO has gone MIA, I need to step back for a while and just enjoy seeing other people's pages. It seems to get worse if I try to force it with challenges and scraplifts. So, go with the flow, and enjoy what makes you happy - one thing I do know, I have yet to hear of an artist whose MOJO took a vacation never having it return! And you are a Cheery-O with or without that fickle MOJO!

 

[faerywings]

Thanks so much Patsy!

 

[Madi]

:cheer2: You put the Cheery in the O Chris!! :cheer2:




My latest LO is still a work in progress, started 3 times, never finished and I think this one will never see daylight!

 

[timounette]

Chris youre are and 'll stay a cheery O !!!!
