finishing...



This picture I've had for 8 1/2 years. This page has been coming together for months. I finally sat down and finished it the other night. I like the journaling card, the big letters in the title and the stitching around the edge with the variegated blue thread...



I like the memories of this day better than the page! The red and black is too bold, I think. I do like the white stitching and the bleach stamped snowflakes. That was an experiment that went so-so - I added detail with a white pen after and that saved it a bit. Another one that's been in the works for a while but got finished the other night.

Blogging...

I have not posted on here since March... I did blog about my trip to Africa - that's linked on here through my profile if you're interested - but it has been a while since I've written anything. I've been thinking about blogging again lately, because I do like it - it's like journalling - makes me think and clears my head.

I wasn't sure what format I wanted to go with when I got back at it. I've been browsing some pretty cool scrapbooking blogs, but I am not into it enough to have a blog just for that. And I thought of doing one just work related for the young adults, but who would read that??

So I've decided that I will continue this blog about whatever's on my mind and just let it be a piece of me that is out there for whoever wants a glimpse into my thoughts and what I'm making and what I'm learning.

And so it begins...
