Ok, I said it. I'm feeling blah. Sales are (WAY) down, I can't get warm again today, ideas are not flowing, and I'm sick of being in this house! February, be gone! I tried torching for a bit this morning, and even though I made some funky tab tic-tac shaped beads (new for me) I just wasn't feeling it, so the engineer and I went to Applebee's for lunch. And it's COLD outside! And blustery, and snowy, and just not nice! I need to get back in the zone... Speaking of which, since the blahs are really creeping in, I think a giveaway is in order! Tell me in a comment what you do to combat the February Blahs, and on February 28th (thankfully the last day of February and only 1 1/2 weeks away!) I will choose via random number dot org (a really cool fun little random number generator) a winner. This winner will receive a random assortment of beads which will include the beads in the picture plus a couple more just for fun! So go ahead, leave your comment (anyone in the world can play, but only one comment per person, please!)!

I have the same February blues! I try to combat my blues two ways:
Using LOTS of color in my jewelry designs, which sometimes helps.
AND
lately I've been going to Afternoon tea at a local bed and breakfast,with a few girlfriends. This has been really great this winter, something to look forward to and we always have a good laugh while there which brightens everyone's mood!
Thanks for the chance!

To combat the February blahs, I read, make jewelry, ORDER BEADS, and head to the gym as often as possible. Thankfully, February only has 28 days!
Here's to spring and warm sunny days!!!
But when I feel uninspired and unmotivated, I think it is better to switch gears and not beat yourself up about it. I'll go for a run or go to a museum or something. Sometimes you just need a break...and I have to agree with Burgandy, chocolate helps!! and a glass of red wine...
-having hot chocolate and tea (or coffee)
-if you got the time choose a good book and cuddle up on the sofa
-enjoy a hopelessly romantic movie or just a real funny one, one that makes you laugh!
-buy a book (I don't like to get out of the house in this weather so I buy it on the internet and get it shipped :-) ) with great pictures and just look at it and enjoy!
-do some fun crafts, fun colours
-look at travel brochures - even better book your holidays for summer
-just do something that you like!
-bake a cake or cupcakes AND EAT them!!!! :-)
Hope some of it helps!
+ a splurge on strawberries (They are a summer food normally so I think warm weather)
+ a splurge on time - I am going out with my sister tonight. WooHoo! (with 5 little ones <5 between us this is tough)
+ a splurge on beads :)
Hang in There!
