February 25, 2014 | Digital Scrapper News | Volume 12 Issue 08
Hi ,
 True confession time . . . I have been painting my kitchen for two and a half years. The paint cans sit on the kitchen counter, wrapped in Press 'n Seal, waiting for the next time I strive for "done." But wait. Am I really striving for done? Or, perhaps the reason I'm not done is because I'm actually striving for perfection. Dang!
I find myself in the imbalance of Done vs. Perfect in the scrapbooking department also. The perfectionist inside me endlessly tweaks layouts to the point where my progress in memory keeping is crippled. Ha! I'm a mess! Do I hear an "Amen?"
Here's the good news: perfectionism is a choice we make. Do you suffer as I suffer? Are you interested in being done rather than perfect?
In the coming weeks I'll be exploring what it means--Done Is Better Than Perfect--through the eyes of Bre Pettis, co-author of the Done Manifesto. His thoughts don't directly relate to digital scrapbooking, and some are a little off the wall, but I think it will be interesting try and relate this "done" concept to our particular interest.
Keep reading for what's new this week . . . psst--don't miss the posting bonus below.
