Reflecting on Our Words - Part 3

It's that time again. The time when we - my fellow Scrapblog sisters and I - reflect on our words for the year. It has been an interesting year so far, and if I hadn't agreed to do this exercise in personal growth, I wouldn't have realized all the wonderful things that are going on around me. (Contrary to popular belief and every Facebook personality test I have taken, I can be quite the pessimist.)

This month we decided that a picture's worth a 1000 words. Although, being Scrapbloggers, we had to throw a couple of words in there. :-)

Let's start off with Peggy's photo about Balance:
Next up is AVTCoach's thoughts on Abundance:

Roban (Flygirl) has chosen to live a life of Faith and Joy:

Here's my take on Discipline:

And last but certainly by no means least is Octamom's most wonderful shot of Excellence at its finest with a photo of her 7 of 8 showing us reach her goals in recovery of her neonatal stroke:

Isn't our God an Awesome God?

Please remember to go by each of these lovely ladies' blogs to let them know how great their photos are.

(Post note: Yesterday, I had thought about using the song IF by Bread on my playlist and then changed my mind until this morning when something strange happened. I was driving to work with my radio tuned to my usual station. Only, an "oldies" station with the same spot on the dial from over 4 hours away came in as clear as a bell over my regular drive time station. As I pulled into the school parking lot - what to my wondering ears should begin to play but Bread's IF. So there it is on my playlist. Go figure.)

I remember my big sister's Bread album. I can still see the cover art in my mind...! Funny how serendipity strikes every now and then. What a great song to accompany our photographs.

Have I mentioned how much I like your new spring look? And your post does a great job of sharing our words with others.

Annemarie I chose the song "IF" about a week ago as an introduction to our joint posts and then at the last minute changed my mind....I have now rectified that and put it back on top of my playlist instead of second!

I enjoyed the way you introduced us as the scrapblog sisters and explained how we threw in a few extra words with the help of scrapblog.

Regarding your comment on my post re "our soon to be famous whirlwind tour"....won't it be grand....and "Nothing is going to stop us", as Starship sings!

I concur..."Great minds think alike".

Hard for me to see you as a pessimist, regardless of Facebook psychology!

Love the spring look, love our joint post!!

Blessings!

I Love Tissue Paper

Image
If you saw my Discipline collage , you can tell I have a thing for tissue paper. I have used it make inchies and to paint mountain/sunset scenes. Now I am working on some ATCs . I have done some before using the same cardstock I am using this time. However, I am tired of this background and want to alter it some how, so here's where the process went. (Note: I did try it on some sample-sized pieces of cardstock first so you might see those pop in from shot to shot.) I began with a plain piece of cardstock (it is supposed to be green/yellow.) I lightly drew a line on the card. I then squeezed some glue onto the card (don't ask why it's blue...that's another story.) I used scrap piece of stock to spread the glue to get a perfectly straight edge. I laid the tissue paper onto the wet glue and pressed out the bubbles. (You could use a brayer, it gets messy.) I trimmed the excess tissue. (I have torn it before, too, for a different effect.) After the glue dried, I took the c...

Change of Plans & Calendar Journal Time

Image
Well, as a family we were all going to use the long weekend to trek down to Texas and rip out carpet and paint walls. Come to find out, Gary doesn't have Monday off so it would make a really bad turn around time. So...we decided to stay home and make plans to go another time. Meanwhile, all I can envision is the money pouring out of my already empty pockets into the mortgage and utilities for a house we aren't using. :-( Now, I will look for some free activities to do in the city for the Labor Day weekend. I have seen several advertised on tv. I hope the temperature stays cooler than yesterday (102F.) Yesterday I lazed around the house feeling a little sorry for myself wondering why I don't have a job yet. So I got out my sketchbook and calendar journal and fiddled around. I have been thinking about working on a set of note cards to sell at some local gift shop. They would look like some of these: I just want to unify the theme of them so they seem more like a set. ...

December Here! Time Keeps Marching On

Image
...whether I am ready or not. November was a busy month, so busy that I would forget to write on my calendar journal page. I fortunately was able to go back and fill in most of the days. Here is next month's calendar. If you would like to play along for December, head on over to The Kathryn Wheel to see what everyone else is doing. December should be okay. Come mid-month, I will add an extra hour a day to my workday. That's a good thing. At the same time, the kids will  be home for Christmas Break...(I'm sorry, Winter Break! What the heck?!) Well, we will celebrate Christmas nonetheless. I am looking at making a trip to Chicago to visit my aunt and hopefully my mother will go up there. The problem with Chicago in December is the weather. You never know what the roads and flights will be like. I have only been to Chicago twice I think. It would be nice to see a different part of the family. It's still up in the air. I still have to work on my Sketchbook Pr...
