Epic Fail

Not only does this blog appear to be an epic failure, so does my creativity.
I made a rash or silly decision that I am happy when I am making anything. Cooking, crafts, scrapbooks, and my newest hobby stamping. I do seem to enjoy it, but I don't seem to be able to create anything that the rest of the world appreciates. I am not one of those truly artsy-fartsy people you can say "Oh well, you just don't know what art is.". Heck I am not sure I know what art is so who am I to say others don't either?
We are talking about basic items, right now mainly cards and other stamped items. I am pretty simple in my design, I am pretty simple for the most part. My thought is if I am going to make it to give to someone else or to sell then it doesn't have to be overly difficult. I do appreciate the art of the project but can't spend 3 to 4 hours on one card.
So I sit here wondering if I am in over my head (a common problem for me), see I signed up to do a day at a local craft fair. I thought I was doing a good thing, price was right, even I should be able to make contacts and start my business moving forward. As, I prepare for the event I realize that I am in over my head. I had a wonderful friend come over today to help me prepare and we both seemed to suffer from creative block. Not much was accomplished. I was trying to prepare my order for these projects and I got nothing but a long list of things I would like to do, but no solid designs on what I wanted to do. So I look at spending several hundred dollars on thoughts but no solid ideas.
When, where, why and how did I become an epic failure?
