“I Can Not Do it All” Printable (Day 22 of 92 Crafty Days of Summer)

"I Can Not Do it All {And that's ok}"

Today was just one of those days! You know the ones…where you just feel like there are a million things that need to get done and you can't seem to check any one of them off your list. The days that you feel you are just treading water, barely staying afloat. The days where you really wish you could just sit down (by yourself) and read a book….oh, and maybe a glass of wine to go with it…oh, and how about watching a pretty sunset. Am I getting too demanding? So here I am on Day 22 of my 92 Crafty Days of Summer, and I was feeling just a little defeated. It was 3:00 pm with nothing really done. I didn't feel well, the little man didn't feel well, and the little big man had way too much energy for the under-the-weather family members. I didn't want to lose my crafty challenge just because of "one of those" days. I mean isn't that the point of this - to keep me motivated and accomplishing things on my "To-Do" list? And then I had….

I'll make an inspirational printable to put up in our house. It may not have been on my original "To-Do" List, but to be honest I didn't have 92 projects on my to-do list to begin with J. This "I Can Not Do It All" is not an original idea. Someone else inspired me, but I did want to add my own little twist to it. You can see hers here. I urge you to read her post! I was going to delve into some of the stuff she covered, but she said it so well that there was no point in me even trying! Just go read it. ;)

Above you can see what I decided to do. A simple design in all caps (yelling) at me saying "I Can Not Do It All – And that's Okay}. Ironically, when I searched Etsy to see what they offered with this saying everything showed up saying I could do it all. Hmmmm….not feelin' that. I rather admit that I can't do it all and there ain't nothing wrong with that!

Day 22 did not defeat me and I have a lovely reminder to hang up and keep me sane.

Day 6 of 92 Crafty Days of Summer : Dr Seuss Printable

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers" – Charles W Eliot

I must admit that Day 6 of the 92 Crafty Days of Challenge did present my first true challenge of trying to accomplish a project. We were just having too much fun and barely spent any time in the house. But I didn't want to lose my personal challenge on Day 6, yet I wasn't going to sacrifice family fun to cross off a "To-Do" list item. I could still do this! I just had to be realistic and make sure none of the projects included Mod Podge or any tedious tasks. The solution? Create a quick printable to go near our reading area with a quote from the beloved Dr. Seuss. I love the below inspirational quote from Dr. Seuss and wanted to make sure my kiddos learned it as well. The printable reads…

"The more that you read, the more things that you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go" – Dr. Seuss

Interested in adding this 8 x 10 to your reading nook? Go to MY ETSY SHOP for a really inexpensive way to add some inspiration and color to your home.

I hope you were able to cross something off your personal "To-Do" list today!

Be inspired, get creative, and have fun!

Thanksgiving Quotes, Poems, & Sayings

I'm still in shock that Thanksgiving is only two weeks away and I blame it on the media and stores!  They make you forget about Thanksgiving because as soon as Halloween is over the Christmas stuff takes over all the stores and the Holday television advertisements now replace all the Election ads.  Ahhh!!  So I'm a little behind on ideas for Thanksgiving so I thought I'd start with some simple Thanksgiving quotes, poems, and sayings that you can use for your projects, cards, table settings, or just for a little inspiration!  Enjoy...

We are blessed.

Gobble til you wobble.

Count Your Blessings

Family Traditions

The Feast

Hearts full of Thanks

Having someone to love is family, having somewhere to go is home, having both is a blessing.

Thank you for the food before us, the friends beside us, and thelove between us.

There is always, always, something to be thankful for.

Everyday is a gift.

Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude.  ~E.P. Powell

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.  ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The thing I'm most thankful for right now is elastic waistbands.  ~Author Unknown

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
~Author Unknown

I love Thanksgiving turkey.  It's the only time in Los Angeles that you see natural breasts.  ~Arnold Schwarzenegger

Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday.  People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year.  And then discover once a year is way too often.  ~Johnny Carson
