Spring Buds - May for Me - Means Taking Time for You!

Today's post is called Spring Buds - May for Me to give you more tidbits of information about the celebration and prizes.
 
The May for Me Celebration is all about taking the time to smell the roses - the spring buds!  You need to choose to take these minutes for yourself starting now.

Slow down your schedule a little.

Make positive changes that make you feel better.

Do something you like to do.

Enjoy small moments.

Smell the spring buds! (if you live in Wisconsin you are going to have to look hard for them - still COLD here)

Here is what I am going to do:
I love to sew.  I am choosing some sewing projects that I have been putting off, because I think I don"t have time to do them.  But if I set aside some time to do them, it will happen.  I am taking time for me! I call that Minutes for Me!

I recently participated in Project Quilting. I was afraid I would not have enough time to make the projects, because the winter months in the quilting business are exceptionally busy for me! So I really had to manage my time to get everything done, including customer's quilts and  my daily stuff from wash, dishes, and cleaning and cooking and time for my family.  I found I was happier when I was taking time to do creative sewing projects.  It made all the other stuff in my daily life easier.

So when I was emailing back and forth with Tonya, we decided we needed to share our idea of the May for Me Celebration and make it an event so that others would smell the spring buds too! Tonya is going to do a sew along as part of the celebration.

So join us in celebrating taking a few minutes everyday just for yourself!
