032620 All About Me album

Stacy Julian CLASS CLOSED

SO EXCITED to be able to take this year-long class with the legendary Stacy Julian! Twenty projects in 2020 - sounds impossible, but not when you're getting great advice that can apply to anything you need/want to accomplish in any genre. Great news for this disorganized procrastinator :D 

Although we are all pursuing our own particular projects, this February All About Me mini-book was the only assignment for everyone. It provided a great snapshot into our lives right now. How ironic that only days later life would become so different... but that's another project.

I used a Close to My Heart/Story by Stacy kit that I randomly won from Persnickety Prints, which included the PP t-shirt in my photo at the end of the album.

My introduction page is one of my Artist Trading Cards (ATC).

I heard someone call the 60-80 years, "The Fourth Quarter" & I liked that thought. I added a photo of my aging hand, which is beginning to have spots & knobby knuckles.

Still amazing to me that I can get an answer to just about every question from this gadget! My phone, my camera, my connection to so many that I love to keep up with, my source of crafty inspiration, my encyclopedia & reference library, my answering service, my social center, my diary, etc...

Social Security! Been waiting a long time for my money to be returned to me.

Tongue-in-cheek nod to my global community scrappy affiliations.

My high school sweetheart!

The grands <3

Changing times...

My anchor, my rock, my Saviour.

This was supposed to be a photo shoot with my daughter but kept getting postponed...

A little note to myself.

Now that I've written this post I may go back & add pull out tags with these comments.

Thanks for stopping by!

012719 - 2017 Fall Break Travelers Notebook

One of my scrappy goals this year is to tackle the unfinished projects in my studio. Some are works in progress, others have just been hunted & gathered. First one done! (Photo heavy post)

I made the album ahead to (unsuccessfully) scrap on the road.

I have a seashell souvenir to add to the elastic closure once I drill a hole...

You'll notice how much ephemera I collect! This book is extremely layered, even for me. There are bundles & pockets of photos, menus, receipts, etc that require hands-on exploration.

The gnome at the gas station before we left town.

Passed a bunch of carnival rides heading to their next stop.

Amazing barbecue joint. Tried to buy a rib for Lila so they gave us a huge shoulder blade!

Lots of rescue vehicles heading south to be ready for Hurricane Irma... prayed a lot on this trip.

So glad to be with our Georgia peaches.

This is the drawing Chloe made on the paper tablecloth in the next photo.

 

 

One of New Orleans amazing historical cemeteries.

 

Photos in the kraft envelope of our FAB meal.

 

Masses of fleeing hurricane victims backing up the freeways.

 

 

  

 

This may be the fattest mini I've ever made!
