How is it April already?

"Time and Tide wait for no one" ~Geoffrey Chaucer. This quote has been rolling in my head most of this year.    

"The expression time waits for no man means that some things are inevitable, such as birth, death, the sun rising in the morning, and the passage of time. No man can control such inevitable natural phenomena or facts of life."

“Time and Tide wait for none”, is a proverb that tells us to utilize our given time in the most optimum manner. Time once lost, can never be recaptured. So if you don't productively utilize time, you will miss out on lots of opportunities. Time is the most important and valuable thing that we can receive. 

What does this all mean to me? And how does it relate to crafting and cardmaking?

Well, it relates a whole lot, the older I get the more things I want to do and accomplish. And because of my health and not being able to "get out" much anymore, most of those things do relate to cardmaking and crafting. So, I turn and say to myself, "Pick just one thing today, Teresa! And don't give up until that thing ( whatever it may be) becomes either done and completed or a routine habit! I am choosing today to get ready for the new month (as I am typing this on March 28th). I have been sick for over a week and do not really have the strength to actively get crafty, at least I can get prepared for all the wonderful things that will happen during the month of April.

So what is one thing you can do this month to enjoy crafting and cardmaking?

You can finally (if you have never done so) or continue to enjoy your crafting by entering our monthly card challenge. This is a great way to either use your Not 2 Shabby products or be introduced to them should you win the monthly challenge. You do not have to use N2S products to enter.
