Grrrrr, my mojo has gone awol!! Really not feeling this 3rd challenge, the Decathlon, for the Olympics; and once again have left it until late. Well, actually, I have been thinking about it all week, and just not coming up with anything. Well, that's actually not quite true, either. I have paper and a choice of 2 photos; journalling mostly done, a title, and elements picked out, but I am just not happy with what I have started. Too late to do over now though; I am just too exhausted to do anything tonight, so it is going to be a quick one done in the morning whilst Aurelia is at kindy. Will just stick everything down and it is going to have to do. 10 elements, huh!! Just when I had decided I wanted to start doing more layering...lol. I guess that will have to wait for the next challenge.
I should be very happy; I was named runner-up again for the last challenge (see last post), and that is great, but I am not feeling too happy with my work at the moment. But just not sure what and how to change...oh, maybe I should just go to bed and maybe things will seem a little brighter in the morning, lol!
I do want to say a big thanks for all the lovely comments and support on my last post; you guys are the bomb! I will be sure to let you all know how it goes; maybe Tuesday night, but more likely Wednesday. And yes, you were all correct in your guesses!
OK, will sign off now; and promise to be a little more cheery in my next post!
Edited to add: Ooooooooooohh, dear, I really was tired last night! Have woken up this morning in a much better mood, thank goodness, and considered deleting this post altogether, but then, I guess it's how I was feeling at the time, so I will just leave it. Some days are like that...

Go to bed!!! You do beautiful work Tracy and you need to stop being so hard on yourself. Your placings have verified that. You have a lot on your mind this week and I dare say this could be contributing to how your feeling about your scrapping at the moment. Have an early night and look at this layout with fresh eyes. Most importantly be gentle with yourself.
Have you looked under the bed? In the cupboards? LOL your mojo might be there!
Just have to reiterate Janine's comments - your work IS beautiful and you have many admirers (I am one of them). Chin up, I am sure your Decathlon layout will be all kinds of awesome, so just enjoy the creative process!
Just found your blog Tracey and absolutly love yoru work! If you find your mojo can you see if it know's where mine is???? Mine's been missing for awhile which is why there are no olympic layouts being done so far at our house!
Good luck for Tuesday!
I am Debbie B on the Sketchbook forum!
I think your work is stunning.
Good on you for not deleting the post. We all have days like this and your feelings are 100% valid. Good to keep these posts and look back on lifes ebbs and flows.
Thinking of you today (re. your procedure) :)
Ditto what the rest have said your work is awesome and you can just see by how well it is placing and the number of views. I don't know why but often we can be so critical of own work but need to think of the reasons behind why we scrapbook.
Looking forwards to seeing this weeks work.
Just checking in to see how you're doing after your surgery ... thinking of you, and wishing you a speedy recovery. ((hugs))
