This is the first of hopefully several super Swelldesigner secrets that I plan to share. Yes, I realize that #79 doesn’t make sense, but I think it is funnier that way.
Today, I want to reveal the girl behind the curtain here at the Swell Life and let you know that I am indeed not all that I’m cracked up to be.
See the project above? If you follow my blog, you may realize that it is indeed my Letter and Number DecoPauge Jars and my Colorful Collage Cluster Bottles. The truth is that I just sometimes get wrapped up into a project in the wee hours of the morning, want to get it posted, and will stop short, because it is “good enough” for a photo. Not to say the idea isn’t a good one or that I don’t like it, I just don’t finish it cause unfortunately, it ends up sitting in my craft room with no eyes to see it.
I have tons of projects like this. It’s just how I roll sometimes. Not all of my projects are like this, but several of them are. And I know I’m not the first person to do this. I know a lot of other people don’t finish the backs of projects for this reason.
Anyway, just wanted to let you in on this little crafty secret of mine. Are you or aren’t you surprised?
Until next time Swellions!

i somehow always manage to start and NOT finish things, too. i have about 7 knitting projects cast on….and that’s not counting crochet and other crafts. ^^
I’m shocked!

Great point…I think it’s important to realize we don’t have to finish things if we don’t want to. Follow your passion and where the creativity takes you… but if it’s not interesting anymore or you are “over it!” – it’s okay! Thanks for this lovely reminder 🙂
