hello friday!

and the weekend. nice.

there is actually sunshine today! after a long week of rain and cloudy skies i am a very happy girl today. 

my creative streak has continued. i made four layouts since yesterday. and two are 12x12. i never scrapbook that size. but i wanted to try. i think i did pretty good. i will share those later. i need some help in scanning them in. once i do that, i will share them here. i am curious to see what y'all think of them. the size of the paper intimidated me. those took me a while. 

i have a lot of projects "in progress". lol. i start something, then will get inspired to start another project....and so on. right now i am working on a mini book i am going to call "adventures in seattle", some garland i saw on the hambly blog, my atc spinner and a mini book for my baby, elliott. sigh. i need to finish what i start before beginning a new project. 

i did finish these 2 layouts. 8 1/2 by 11. still my preferred size.

  

i have a really great idea for a mini book class. i am putting together product and ideas and will let you know here once i have a coherent plan! :) i am really excited to do an online class again. they are my favorite.

i find that when i have a lot on my mind i become even more creative. i get lost in it. the art. the creating. and escape, sometimes, is a good thing. i have some things in my life that i need to face right now. i have a few rather large decisions that need to be made. about my life. and the direction of it. and i am struggling with those decisions. i sit down and start making stuff, and a few hours later i have a few pages done or a mini book and i also have a clear head. so this creative streak of late, has been very much needed.

i might be back later tonight with those 12x12s. hope you have a great friday and a great weekend!

leaving you with a few photographs.........

OH MY GOODNESS! I LOOOVE YOUR SCRAPBOOKING STYLE! I'm trying to teach myself to do a better job with utilizing white space and I would love to scraplift some of your layouts. Would you mind if I featured some on my blog and directed readers your way?

Just as people said, "life is like a book, how would you like to write, it's what kind of guide. So our personal attitude determines life. Certainly, we should really go through alot more meaningful publication, it can give us inspiration.
