Hey everyone! Gym Girl here. Last week, instead of a sketch, Julie asked you to try something you are afraid of. You girls & guys must be fearless! We only had 6 people admit to being intimidated! Well, who's going to teach me to be brave? Like Lindsay, I too am afraid of mice. (Although he did a better job screaming like a 12 year old girl than I ever could!) Unlike Lindsay, my list of things I'm afraid of doesn't stop there! I'm scared of spiders, bees, bugs, worms, snakes...(anything with more legs or less legs than I have). I'm scared of the water, of heights, of basements....well you get the idea! That doesn't even begin to cover my crafting fears! (Don't get me started on how afraid I am of sewing machines!) I'm going to assume, just for my own sense of well being, that the rest of you have a fear of admitting your crafting fears. Because, if there are only 7 of us out there who have crafting fears, that will only add to my insecurities!
Jennifer Hansen said she's unsure of what to do with ribbon.
Melanie Douthit said, "Who isn't afraid of lime green paint?" (good point!)
Grace Tolman overcomes her fear of "Shabby Chic"
mustangkayla said she's afraid of adhering elements as you go. I have the opposite problem. When I try to lay everything out first, I always like it better before it's glued than after I move it to put adhesive down. I'm too OCD. If it's not exactly (to the millimeter) where it was the first time, I hate the whole LO. If I just do it as I go, then I go with the flow of the page and don't worry about every angle, inch, or placement.
Erica M.'s fear is where to begin without referring to a sketch.
Well, Ladies. You have obviously conquered your fears. Spectacular projects! Thanks so much for playing along. Julie said you'd be proud of yourselves when you were done. How's it feel? I am going to take on one of my biggest scrapbooking fears next month. I never think my own photography is good enough. I have an SLR camera that I have no idea how to use. So, I am taking a photography class starting next week. Wish me luck!
