What's new

So I may have over extended myself. ..

right..... my thought about this, especially as to the CT thing...are long, so I ll try to resume...

At the signature guidelines at DST, there is a warning about the size of it, and what you can or cannot post...it was a time in which people used blinkies a lot.... and it said something like this:" blah blah if you are in 22 teams (we think you are mad, but suit yourself. blah blah blah"

at the time I thought...22 teams? not possible!!!
then I met many of the 22 teams girls
I used to criticize people in lots of CTs.
Then I started getting ion more, and more, up to a point in which I was in 16 teams (take into account that 2 were only templates, which meant I used the templates to scrap the rest of the teams), plus the Digi Dares and the GSO blog...
and I know people thought I was mad.... but I had a LOT of time in my hands...and I could scrap a LOT..... that being the key of the question.
I can be in 18 teams even more super easy.....IF the only thing I do is scrap.
At the time, which was right up until 2013 in which I came to hang here and fell in love, I couldn't find a scrapping home, I really did not much care for interactions in places where I did not feel at home, even though I tried....there was no place where I loved all the designers, wanted to buy and make friends.....
I had a couple of CT's forums which were my family, one of them was (still is!!!!!!) Danyale's ...the girls have seen me through A LOT and helped so much...I dont know what I would have done without them.

So...I think I cannot give you better advice than what you have got here already.....
but what I do right now is try to enjoy as much as I can, and do as much as I can without feeling pressure or getting stressed out, which is easier said than done, and I still get stressed out sometimes...but try to keep in mind why I do this, and then all gets flowing and I am happy :)

Thank you Xoxoxox
 
I was on 20 over and 2 store CT. Now I'm only here at TLP with less than 5 CTs. By next year, I think I will be on less teams due to time spent on paintings and drawings and art classes.
 
Did anyone see the article Jaimee (Kaiser, of "Just Jaimee") posted on her blog about CT calls?! It really was informative for me.... and made me feel TONS better about the CT I am on, and not overly anxious to go and apply to more.

I feel much better right now than I did in the beginning of the month, but still, we'll see what happens by the end of the month! Lol
 
Where is the article , Kristina, is it in Jaimee's blog?

I think, in the general scheme of things, that if you stay within one store, things get a LOT better always.
That's what I did when I found my home here....
I love the people, all the designers, love to interact and am happy 99% of the time because I don't feel I have to do it all.....there is that 1% o the time in which I start thinking I actually do have to do it all, and then is when I break down....OR when I'm having a lot of trouble with the "real" life , or when I argue with Sarita and think everything is pointless.... but luckily doesn't last long...
would love to read what Jaimee write, love the girl, anything she writes has to be great, of to look for it :)

I am lucky enough that most of my teams now are here...

Here's a link!!!

http://justjaimee.com/ct-calls-the-dos-and-donts-how-to-score-a-spot-on-your-favorite-team/
 
It was posted today, so I can publicly talk about my new CT spot. I applied and was selected. I was nervous at first, for having two different designers, but I think it's going to work out. And after I read this article of Jaimee's, I really just felt a sense of calm and.... overall satisfaction I guess. I am in a good place. I'll be part of two teams that really suit me, and then having this as my home base to fulfill that need for myself. It will be okay if I don't get to everything. :D feeling very happy about things right now. :D
 
(Sorry, in case anyone wanted to know, I was selected to join Jennifer Labre's team, and she is not on this site)

on Jaimee's article , she is right in most, especially (to me) the last bit on stop comparing yourself to others in the team and thinking you are not enough good...I am so guilty of that..... so, good reminder.
