Good to remind yourself occasionally 👍

Albert Einstein once wrote on a blackboard :
9 x 1 = 9
9 x 2 = 18
9 x 3 = 27
9 x 4 = 36
9 x 5 = 45
9 x 6 = 54
9 x 7 = 63
9 x 8 = 72
9 x 9 = 81
9 x 10 = 91

Suddenly chaos erupted in the classroom because Einstein made a mistake. Obviously, the correct answer to 9 × 10 isn’t 91. And all his students ridiculed him.
Einstein waited for everyone to be silent and said:
“Despite the fact that I analyzed nine problems correctly, no one congratulated me. But when I made one mistake, everyone started laughing. This means that even if a person is successful, society will notice his slightest mistake. And they'll like that.
So don't let criticism destroy your dreams. The only person who never makes a mistake is someone who does nothing."

Calling all cardmakers! It is time to use our super power to make others smile! The world is so chaotic right now. So uneasy. There are people scared and lonely. There are people who are having to work when they wish they could be home with family. There are people who are worried about paying the bills. There are extroverts longing to get out and be social. And introverts struggling to get alone time to recharge with everyone home. Everyone has a struggle here. However! We are cardmakers. And our super power is that we can make cards to lift someone’s spirits - anyone’s spirits! We can do this! And another good reason for us to makes cards? Crafting is therapeutic. And something you can do with loved ones at home.
I am hoping you will all join me in making cards to give to folks who could use a smile. My family had a crafting hour earlier today. (Swipe to see photos.) We did lots of die cutting for lots of cards. Tomorrow we will assemble them. These cards will go to nurses (who are in the thick of this), grocery store employees (such madness!), and teachers (who are trying to figure out how to teach online and much more). If you don’t have time to make a bunch, just make one! But pleAse join me. I will share our progress here over the next week. If you can, please share here on Instagram, too, and use the hashtag so we can all be inspired. (And I plan to send cards to several people who play along!) This is also a great time to follow and do the coloring challenge. Just sit. Color. Relax. And turn it into a card add some goodness to the world! We can do this!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
