Sitting here trying to scrapbook on the first day of 2016 and I want to start the year by doing something new and I am really looking for new inspiration. I have been browsing Pinterest, FB groups, different galleries but I haven't relly found "it" - what new that can inspire me. So for you that reads my blog - where would you guide me to find new inspiration.
As for new years resolutions - I have a few things I would like to to.
I think am going to force myself into making a few video tutorials - maybe even with my voice on.... I don't like my accent when I speak English - not that it's sooo bad, I just wish it was a lot better and I get all shy about it. I would also like to teach classes - but not for beginners as I have never taken a class in my life and since I am not a traditional scrapbooker - I don't make pages to document everything - I just do them to have fun - I am would't make a good teacher...
I would also like to make new scrappy friends, so if any locals are reading, please say hello, or even someone from further away - I don't bite. I would love to have someone to scrap with again - I really miss the time I while living in Sweden. Scrapping here gets kind of lonely. I get tired of just sitting alone in the basement while I scrap.
If you didn't know I am one of those people who are more shy online than in the real world. I don't like voicing my opinion online. I have really hard time for example asking people to be friends on Facebook - not that being a scrappy friends on FB is a huge deal - I just can't get myself to push that button - unless maybe if I am on your scrapbook team. I do accept requests from a lot of people as I love to see what other people do.. In the same way I find it hard to comment on other peoples fb updates and blogposts, I can push like though ;) In a way you can call me an online introvert, (but not IRL).. So if you don't get comments from me on Instagram or FB - even on my own posts - I can tell you that I really like getting comments and likes, I just can't find the right words to express myself... Some have called me arrogant, but I really don't want to be.
CHA is just around the corner, I would love to go and meet up with my teams and other scrappers, but I dare not go alone...
This got a little personal... For my few loyal readers - thank for the patience this year... I am planning on blogging a little bit more... Next up might be my top ten for 2015.
Happy New Year.
/Christin
Godt Nytt År Kristin :)
ReplyDeleteHåper du finner inspirasjon for jeg blir inspirert av dine LO`er :)
We are so much alike. I am very shy in person and feel safer being myself online. I too sit in my scraproom and haven't really got out with the local scrapper. I also want to try making videos this year. I appreciate my our honesty and am always up to making new scrappy friends. Happy new year! I always love your work. :)
ReplyDeleteHar ikke hatt inspirasjon på lenge nå, så der har jeg lite å bidra med - men ønsker det uansett et riktig godt nytt år. Håper du kommer deg på cha da.. Det hadde sikkert vært supermoro!!
ReplyDeleteWell, Christin I am starting the new year by following your blog and not just on FB. I am sick of seeing a little picture on FB & not being able to see the details. SO I hope you do lots of posts here so I can check out your gorgeous work which I really like. Shame you don't live close by in Australia. I like scrapping and chatting. Not that I do it much at all! Never mind. I think scrapping alone is probably more productive. All the best with your goals for 2016. Mine is to enjoy myself with my scrapping!!! That should be ok :)
ReplyDeleteI hope to enjoy myself more too, right now it's very slow and I almost hate half of what I make. i can't seem to find myself in the right mood for making the kind of pages I like. Can't complain about the products in front if me either, they are always things I like. thank you for your comment!
DeleteHi! I Always stop by to read your new blogpost, but never leave a comment because I don't write English so well. But, I would love to say, your work is very inspiring to me, thanks for sharing it!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about your English! thank you fir your comment
DeleteHej! Jag känner också igen mig själv i din blyghet online, det är svårt att kommentera på andras bloggar, jag vet inte vad jag ska skriva men jag vill samtidigt inte verka dryg eftersom jag inte är det. Detta kanske jag ska försöka jobba på under 2016. Inspiration är inte lätt men jag kan bara hålla med alla andra i att du sprider mycket inspiration med det du skapar. Lycka till med allt under 2016!
ReplyDeleteBra att attveta att jag inte är den enda som tycker det är svårt att kommentera...lycka till under 2016 du också.
DeleteJag skriver på svenska, hoppas det går bra :) Så synd att du inte bor i närheten då hade jag mer än gärna hälsat på i din källare och scrappat och fikat och pratat och ätit godis ihop med dig. Jag hade förmodligen mest bara suttit och beundrat ditt skapande och ätit godis ;) Och du, du är ju en mästare på att uttrycka dig och skriva så gör bara lika när du , om du vill, kommenterar på andras bloggar!! :) Men alla är olika och det är OK! Själv kommenterar jag rätt ofta och det är nog för att jag själv blir så glad av dom kommentarer som andra skriver å min blogg. Det betyder mer än man tror med bara några glada , uppmuntrande ord :) Jag ser fram emot att få se mer av det underbara du skapar, du är en stor inspiratör på många sätt Christin. Tack för att du delar med dig.. Kram Anna :)
ReplyDeleteKan ju svara på svenska också..... snart 4 år sedan jag flyttadefrån Sverige.
DeleteTack för din kommentar. Trevligt att du tycker om min blogg. Jag känner igen ditt namn som gäst-dt hos Citrus Twist kits.
Hi Christin! Wish I lived close to you but I am in the US. I finally now realize, why, after all these years of following and commenting on your posts that you never responded to anything I wrote! I thought maybe you were afraid I was a stalker! I loved all your layouts and always felt a little uncomfortable commenting on your pictures but you are such a great photographer with such cute kids, how could I not comment on your layouts and the wonderful photos that were made even more beautiful by your unique scrapbooking style, please don't change ( evolve, but don't change!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your personal blog post and sorry it took me so long to comment - since you probably know I always do - life was a little hectic the past few weeks!
Here is a reply :) Thank you for all your comments on my blog and soo sorry for letting you wait this long.... At least now you know why... I don't get tons of comments, but sometimes it's a bit overwhelming and then I just don't know where to start. Commenting has always been my weakest spit and When I was a dt for challenge blogs I always dreaded commenting the monthly Challenge entries, I felt like a hipocrite writing nice things about projects I didn't really like. Feel free to email me at umenorskan@gmail.com if you want to know more about my scrapbooking
