Where do you go?

[TheBerryCottage(KimS)]

When you are out of ideas..or can't seem to come up some new ideas as far as creativity. I seem to be in a slump and can't come up with any new ideas lately..I've been searching my magazines and all..but I'm at a loss. I hate when this happens...before I had my business..no biggie..but with having a business/shoppe and wanting to offer your new idea..I hate when I get in a slump..so c'mon girls..help me out here..would love to hear where you get your bouts of inspiration....

Hugs,

Kim,
Whenever I get kind of stuck on what to do next, I go searching. Yes, I admit I do a search of candle stores, or craft places. I would NEVER copy anyone, but it may spark my own creativity.

The next thing would be magazines, perhaps you could pick up something new that you haven't already been through.

Also on the web, there are many places that will teach you a craft or help you with techniques. I just learned how to make those frosted pillars, I believe I picked that up from a candle store that sells candle supplies.

Sometimes my problem is getting off my duff and doing something!! I still haven't finished my stitchery yet!! hehehe

Also, try Ebay, just go in and do a search, and maybe find things there, too.

Hope I was helpful in some way,
Nancy~

Nancy ~ I do that too. I would never copy anyone either, but it gets the creative juices flowing to see what others have done.

Nancy..

Thank you soo much for those tips...

You know what I wish I could find..I'm sooo bad at reading instructions and then applying..I do sooo much better at someone teaching me..I'm such a visual learner...I wish I could find video tutorials..that would be my thing...soooo c'mon you video girls...Kim (and I'm sure some of my friends..lol)need some explicit instructions..LOL LOL

But thank you Nancy..they are really good ideas.

I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one who gets in a slump!!!! It's especially hard when you have got so much other stuff going on!

OH, I've been in a slump before....you think you're never going to get out of it...and then something hits and I go crazy with ideas. I've got so many things drawn up right now. I hope to start on them next week.

Hope you get out of your slump soon, Kim. *hugs*
