    Hi All, It seems every year about this time I get what I call the
    creativity blues, otherwise known as burnout.  After racing from
    show to show and trying in between to build inventory with great
    designs at great prices that people will buy, by the end of December
    and January I go completely blank and can't think of a single thing
    worth making.  Around the end of January I begin to panic as I see
    show dates drawing near.  Eventually I come out of my stupor but by
    that time I am really under pressure to start turning it out.  Every
    year I tell myself that I am not going to go into this lapse but it
    seems I have no control.  I am wondering if anyone else out there
    experiences this and if so what they do to counteract it and get
    back in the groove??  It is especially bad this year!!!!  Any
    suggestions??
