re: Ever feel... plain?

If you have the desire to find something new to excel at keep searching!! If you don't have the desire to do so there is certainly nothing wrong with that but don't give up if you really want to find something new to be passionate about and do well at. I am super crafty and artistic and things come really easy to me. My best friend doesn't have the same sort of natural aptitude but she puts a little effort into learning how to do something and pretty quickly she'll be just as good as I am. Craftiness CAN be taught lol. Look into taking classes. Practice a lot and don't give up right away if something doesn't turn out right the first time.

It's mostly time.   I work full time, school full time, toddler and teenager. I just.... cant. Whatever is left over is spent hanging out with my family, or keeping up on house stuff. I feel pulled in 80 directions. lol

Yup! I have no talents whatsoever. I thought I was ok at writing, then seeing the lovely BG ladies writing I realised I suuuuuuuuck. I am no good at crafty things or drawing. I'm a pretty average home cook and home baker, could never turn it into a career.

I honestly suck at everything. URRRRRRRRVRYTHIIIIIIIIIING

Yeah...I feel very plain.
I mean, I love baking and decorating cakes and cupcakes. My husband absolutely adores my baking.... But it's just not getting me where I thought it would. I don't have the money to rent/buy an industrial kitchen, so I'm stuck at just baking for family get together's. It sucks.  

I definitely feel this way. I don't have a crafty side at all and I'm not great at anything. Both my husband and my best friend are super crafty they actually get ideas from each other for Christmas gifts. I have tried my hands at lots of things and nothing really sticks for me so I just move on.

I feel ya. Art and sewing and craft projects are such a huge part of my life that I make it a point to make time for them... but that usually means after the kids are in bed and cleaning and laundry are done so I end up being up way too late practically every night.
