So, I’m a bit of a perfectionist. (And that’ a bit of an underestimate…) What does this have to do with me sharing simple card ideas?

My perfectionism can make it hard for me to start making a craft or card knowing I am not going to have the energy to make it elaborate. I have the tendency to think that if I’m going to craft, I have to CRAFT. As in, all-caps, all-out, something new and creative that uses all the crafting skills I’ve acquired over my life.

Not super realistic right now due to my health.

I’ve been trying to embrace more simplistic forms of creativity. Something doesn’t have to be intricate in order to turn out beautiful.

After all, some of the best cards I’ve ever received are simple handmade ones from friends with heartfelt messages inside.

It really is the message and the thought that counts. And a card that’s made simply and received is better than a card that is never sent.
