My mood is horrendous today! I'm starving, but nothing satisfies me. I want to craft but the mojo isn't there. I can't focus on ANYTHING. I'm irritable and somewhat depressed. So I went to my collection of images for inspiration and this one jumped out at me. I copied it when I was searching for images to do the Moxie Fab Taintor-tude Challenge but ended up using another one instead. Since I'm counting THE SECONDS 'til Happy Hour I thought I'd slip this in.
The funniest thing is where the image came from. I got it from Pyzam.com and it actually was an ad copyright 1957 that read: "They're young... They're in love... They eat LARD" Seriously! Better yet, it is from the British Lard Marketing Board in conjunction with (are you ready?) The Department of HEALTH. I can't even say it out loud without ROTFLMAO! CHEERS!
I think we all have times when the mojo is gone and nothing will help, you just have to go with it and I promise you come out the other end with lost of ideas, don't know where they come from but they just appear.
ReplyDeleteYou still managed to make a card that made me smile and I totally agree with the sentiment.

Donna, You are so funny, I'm sure after a glass or 2 or 3 your mojo will come flying back, even though we know it did'nt go anywhere. Maybe a big helping of chocolate or some online retail therapy for some new crafting goodies will do the trick. bug hugs Jodie from Oz
ReplyDeleteThis could of been me typing this today. I have felt that way for a few weeks now. I hope it is due to lack of sunshine. I really like your card at least you found some mojo.
ReplyDeleteOh Donna...so sorry your not feeling yourself...I love how even when things don't seem right, you have this great humor that cracks me up...That card is great but the story behind the image...Priceless :)
