I remember...

I've been working on a scrapbook for my graduating senior. While I do digital design

almost daily it has been way too long since I worked on any traditional scrapbooking.

Lo and behold~ I REMEMBER how! I am loving working with paper and scissors and 

real photographs! I am making this book on a 4" x 6" format and it will be

 a hybrid creation~ a mix of traditional and digital pages.

Now that I have rediscovered paper scrapbooking 

I think I will embark on more projects including books in this

 smaller format for all of my kids. 

Of course, scrapbooking skills are not the only things I'm remembering.

My worktable is covered in sweet memories. My children's sweet faces 

are smiling up at me across the years. How time has flown! 

I am filled with gratitude and wonder for the life we have had.

These visible markers remind me to cherish EACH day.

awakened

Does spring awaken your spirit?

It certainly does mine. 

In my studio, I find myself

drawn to the colors of the April landscape~

tender greens, soft pinks and sea-tinged aquas.

The sun falls on my work table 

in gilded streams. Things SPARKLE!

And I am filled with gratitude

for this time of year, this day, 

this very moment!

~May your day be lush

with spring's wondrous gifts.♥
