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!
i SO hope you got some time to relax and recharge this weekend. thank you SO much for stopping by my blog. big hugs. xoxo
ReplyDeleteSO glad you've had some wonderful creative time after all your "trauma"! Isn't Nat wonderful? was able to meet her two years ago at CHA & she's just absolutely sweet & charming--and a creative genius!
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been by in a while--life's been nuts here, too...but I haven't been saving lives like YOU have! (just my sanity...I think!)
Thanks, as always, for your very kind visits, my friend...I always love seeing that you've been by. I'm going to be a much better visitor now!
Wishing you a beautiful and PEACEFUL day, dear friend!
