Today's Tip: Crafting for joy fills your creative tank. Crafting for results empties your unfinished-project pile.
You may ask, "What is the difference between crafting for joy or crafting for results.
When you craft for joy, the experience is the goal.
When you craft for results, you begin with an outcome in mind.
Joy - You might scrapbook simply because you enjoy playing with paper, make cards without knowing who will receive them, experiment with a new technique, or spend an afternoon crafting with friends.
There’s no pressure for the project to be perfect—or even finished. I ink blended these cards, but I am not finished, and I'm not in a hurry. That's crafting for joy.
Results - Maybe you need six birthday cards, want to finish your Rocky Mountain National Park scrapbook, are making products to sell, or need decorations for an upcoming event.
Crafting for results means you have a deadline and need to finish these projects.

There is no wrong or right in this, and your priorities could change frequently. Do what works for you! Have a crafty week!
