MOJO
WhERE ARE YOU MOJO?
There are many times that we all run into one of the biggest problem many crafters encounter...losing our MOJO! I know that I have lost my mojo plenty of times and it's so difficult. If you have been one of many of us that are looking in the books, and on the internet trying to find your mojo you may want to try one of these tricks.
1. Try strolling through Pinterest. There are plenty of inspitrations in all sorts of amazing projects and ideas. If you know what you are looking for just type it into the Pinterest Search bar and watch as your mojo juices start flowing. Pinterest is like the Visual Crafters Encyclopedia.

2. There are magazines and Books...before the internet came along, we had magazines and books. I remember looking through books in the library for inspirational ideas back when I was in high school. I loved going the senior center on craft day (Tuesday) checking out they were doing for craft projects and ideas. Also, try checking out books or magazine from your local Library.
Today there are several magazine out on the market. Somerset Studio is one of my favorite, because its full of inspirational ideas that can make you run to the craft store to pickup supplies to start creating.

Finally, if you still haven't found it then try Facebook. Facebook has groups specifically for crafters. Starting from Journaling all the wat to Cricut. You name it you can find the group on Facebook and these groups are full of ideas and crafters eager to share their work. You are certain to find your mojo instantly.
On the days when I am feeling like my mojo ran away, I start to flip through my old magazines and scrolling through Pinterest. I try to stay away from going to the craft store when I have lost my mojo, because that will push me to buy craft supplies that will only sit around until I find Mr. Mojo. So, if you are feeling that your Mojo left avoid going to the craft store. The last thing you want to do is stockpile craft supplies that won't get used and then you are left overwhelmed with the craft mess.
Talking to other crafters will sometimes help, but let's face it no matter how many times you talk to your craft buddies nothing will make you find Mr. MOJO until you are ready to find it.
