I love her idea of take five! Of course we all know what my take 5 would be- and no, of course, it is <strong>NOT <\/strong>cooking!!! And Sorry to say Dad, it is <strong>NOT <\/strong>doing Math problems either <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/easyscraps.com\/blog\/rsc\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" title=\"&amp;amp;#58;&amp;amp;#41;\" alt=\"&amp;amp;#58;&amp;amp;#41;\" class=\"middle\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I spend my 5 minutes doing something crafty. Here are some of the things I can get done in my 5 minutes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> adding an embellishment to a project I have already started<\/li>\n<li> fixing up a photo for a scrapbook page,<\/li>\n<li>painting or inking a background page<\/li>\n<li> stamping some images to color in later<\/li>\n<li>reading a chapter in a book<\/li>\n<li>cutting some shapes out of Kraft Glassine<\/li>\n<li>embossing some cardstock<\/li>\n<li>edging some card mats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Get my drift? There&#8217;s a lot you can do in those 5 minutes! The problem is to avoid going to 6, 7, 8 minutes! However, with busy Mom&#8217;s schedules like they are, there is usually somewhere you need to be or something you need to do that will force that session to come to a close. But rather than eliminating it altogether, take those 5 minutes for yourself. Whatever your passions is, 5 minutes of fun will make your day a whole lot brighter!!<\/p>\n<p> Here&#8217;s what I did in 5:\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Take5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Take5.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Ok- I lied <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/easyscraps.com\/blog\/rsc\/smilies\/icon_wink.gif\" title=\"&amp;amp;#59;&amp;amp;#41;\" alt=\"&amp;amp;#59;&amp;amp;#41;\" class=\"middle\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/>. The title took longer that 5 minutes. I added the word &#8220;Take&#8221; afterwards in Photoshop. What do you think of the letters? Not bad for my first attempt at emulating the Kraft Glassine in Photoshop. I will keep working at it and when I get it the way I like it, I will post on how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. I will also post on how to make those brackets. See if you can figure out which Tim Holtz Sissix die is used for those <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/easyscraps.com\/blog\/rsc\/smilies\/icon_wink.gif\" title=\"&amp;amp;#59;&amp;amp;#41;\" alt=\"&amp;amp;#59;&amp;amp;#41;\" class=\"middle\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"item_footer\">\n<p><small><a href=\"http:\/\/easyscraps.com\/blog\/blogu.php\/take-five-love-this-idea\"> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/bepositivemom.com\/2011\/04\/moment-for-mo.html My friend Steph runs &#8220;Be Positive Mom&#8221; (http:\/\/www.BePositiveMom.com).
