 Inquiring minds want to know!

 awwwww, we all have that happen!!!  #1 is to hit the gallery!!!!  if that doesn't inspire you, nothing will

 I alter something or scrap a page for a friend!

Slap together something totally uninspired in the hopes that it will return, lol. 

I always use the challenges to remotivate my creativity.

 I generally go on a scrap room cleaning spree.  It helps me see things that I have but forgotten.  Then there are the trusty ideas that I have pulled from magazines, or challenges and then the galleries.

 Shopping!  Or just walking around and looking at the products, thinking "oh I have something like that, that would be awesome to make this page!"

Because when I look through my own stuff, I get discouraged and overwhelmed on why did I buy this and why can't I make it work right now.

Most the time though the challenges spark an interest and get the mojo thinking again!

 I just take a break, organize, take photos - sooner or later it comes back

 Go to your blog and listen to that song by Seal. It's sooooo pretty! And look at all of your pretties that you've created.

 I usually pull out a template cuz that seems to help quite a bit. As well I might try a scraplift or something. Just so I can get into the groove!

 I come on here, cry about it and try to steal someone else's mojo 

 I pull out some coupons and go shopping!  Then I usually get enough umph to get going and use a bunch of old stuff too.

I have been posting on Laura's Scrap A Day Challenge, and it is awesome for inspiration and encouragement!
Also, the challenges totally help give me some direction.

 I just usually look around my scrap space to get some inspiration.

Definitely hit the gallery and/or use sketches...

 Templates usually help!

 Don't know - still trying to find mine. 

Thought about making a chart with lists of things that need to get done each day - scrapping, xmas related things (decorate, xmas cards, making gifts, buying gifts,) using the treadmill, etc.
Maybe putting a checkmark by something each day will motivate me!

 Yeah my mojo is down too..think it's cause I need to ink for my photo printer..and need to actually get MORE photos to do stuff with..and feeling sick/all.. so know how your feeling.. I need to get in gear/get pics so I can hopefully go to the library crop/see amanda again.

 Sometimes I just have to walk away from it for a day (or three) ,  and recharge my creative batteries so to speak.

 Well, I do multiple crafts, and I usually cycle between them naturally.  Right now I'm in scrapbook phase because of the convention...though I think this MB is going to keep me going. 

 Put your walking shoes on and browse the galleries.

 I look in the gallery, check out the new stuff in the shoppe and look through my sketch books.
