Just checking in….

 

 

After a tumultuous month of working

in our ER where I could swear at times

I was back out on the “streets

of raw trauma” working as a

paramedic

I’m now back in the swing of things…I hope.

Beginning in January, I have

“poured” myself into several

different -yet –similar projects. 

Last month,

I was able to view and be inspired by

“Creative Jump Start” hosted by 

the uber-talented Nathalie Kalbach.

She put together this international role-

call of scrapbooking Celebs that would

appear each day via U-tube to share

their own ideas of “jump starting”

their  creativity.

Then, with the ringing in of the new year

brought a new word.

One little word…

{from Ali Edward’s blog site}

started several years ago by one of our

own scrapbooking celebs. (I can’t remember

if it was Ali Edwards, Jessica Sprague??)

This project is fairly new to me;

participating now for 3 years.  This year

I chose: 

HOPE…{looking for}. 

This keeps me focused in a very plain

and simple way!

I’ve learned a lot from

my 2 previous words “TIME” and “Believe”.

Lastly,

a learn- as –you–go (for me that is)

“Project Life”. 

The brainchild of  Becky Higgins.

I heard of it last year.  I didn’t get much

further.  This year it appealed to my

simpler yet informative side of thinking.

Stream-lining my journaling and

photos.  Becky Higgins has several

prepackaged, ready to go kits just

for this Project Life. 

She has a

wonderful step-by-step  guide

lines and the special plastics for your

3 ring binders! 

I’m taking the frugal,

Yankee way of “making do” with

what you have on hand, approach.

because I have so much darn stuff

to get rid of!

I’m taking photos of my progress.

I’ll be sharing soon.

I think I’m going to like this new

approach.  Not to be replaced by my

full and fussy layouts that I enjoy so

much!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

More later!   Enjoy your week-end!
