And then Courtney introduced me to<a href="http://jeanneoliverdesigns.com/blog/"> Jeanne</a> through her blog and a giveaway to Jeanne's class, Creatively Made. I owe these women so much!<br />
<br />
Jeanne Oliver is such a beautiful, spiritual woman and I have loved every minute of her videos. She has dedicated four weeks to focusing on how we are each creatively made and that we should be using our gifts. Her instruction has guided me back on the path to use my gifts.<br />

It's been awhile since I've done anything except make a mess in the Korner. But it's all cleaned up now and I've finished three pieces in the last two weeks! I put together a beautiful little vintage journal...<br />

Thank you, Jenn for the gift of Courtney. She has such a tenacious heart and I love hearing about her life through her wonderful family photos and storytelling. I am anxious to get a copy of her new book!<br />
<br />
Thank you, Courtney for the gift of Jeanne. Her gentle prodding has been delicious.<br />
<br />
Thank you, Jeanne for all of your gifts. Your class has been inspiring and uplifting.<br />

I'm glad you are enjoying the photos. I still haven't journalled on the pages and don't know if I'll ever get to that. Some of the pages need a bit more embellishment. Words may be just the thing. Someday.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will tell you that bear is <u>real</u>. And he was <u>real</u> close. Our guide actually took the safety off of his bear spray - something he has never done before. The bear was as curious about us as we were him. Eventually he got bored, turned and walked way. No drama. Plenty of thrill.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The zip line - exhilarating! What.A.High. <em>(Pun intended.)</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yep, definitely the trip of a lifetime. I'd love to do it all again, though I doubt it could be duplicated. Here's the end of our awesome vacation.</span><br />

The few days we spent there were much too short. Perhaps one day we will return.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our whale watching trip was awesome. We saw two pods of humpback whales bubble feeding. Our naturalist had just told a little girl it was rare to see this and then, not five minutes later we witnessed this spectacular event. Hard to capture on film without fancy equipment; however we did get a few shots.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the same excursion we saw dolphins swimming beside our vessel, sea lions playing King of the Hill on a bouy and an eagle stalking & diving for its dinner. Can't ask for much more than that! Here are more pages that celebrate this terrific frontier.</span><br />

We are very proud of her successes and the honors she received.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I created her HS scrapbook in digi format, was able to keep up and it's also done. So happy that I did that! She was surprised at her celebration lunch, right after the ceremony, to be handed her memories. Here are the pages for her last few traditional events.</span><br />

(You gotta say with a french accent)<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, the Paris pages are complete. Paris was so fun and the people were uber friendly. This trip reminded me of my first trip to Paris when I was in Jr. High. I'm so glad that Ashleigh saw what I remembered. Subsequent trips as an adult had been disappointing. This one was awesome!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some these LOs were created as two-pagers and others as single pages in response to MM challenges. Even if they don't look cohesive, I think I like them and I'm resisting the urge to edit! I've also created the opening page and a few random others that will fill in to make the book flow the way it should. I'll share those in another post. For now, enjoy a virtual tour of this beautiful city...</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I uploaded these pages, I just realized that I have the date wrong for Assissi. These are the only pages that I actually dated. So, I'm happy that these are digital pages and I can easily correct the error. It also means that I'll have to put the pages in a different chronological order. Hurray for digi and the electronic eraser!</span>Kathihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00509513585827582429noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912579733436454730.post-81370644209702632112011-02-28T11:06:00.002-06:002011-02-28T11:09:38.825-06:00Rome - the pages<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, this leg of the trip is finished.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also created a page highlighting the fundraising we did for the trip. The kids just weren't that interested in raising money, even their spending money, so I was the most aggressive on that front. Ruben didn't go on the trip and he was at almost every event to raise cash - so very special! Ashleigh managed to save enough of her work dollars to have the spending money she wanted. Since I was not working at the time, I budgeted myself and even came home with a few dollars. Very different from when I was a teen trying to find money for retreats and trips!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Those of you on the MM boards have seen the fruits of my labors. Well, some of them anyway! Here are a few more pages and these complete London. I think. I'll have to go back and reassess those early pages that I created. I remember doing a page on the Flowers of London, so it will be added to these when the book is assembled. </span><br />

Yesterday afternoon, I went with a crafty friend to a class and learned how make roses out of Tim Holz grunge paper. The roses were awesome, the grunge paper not so much. I believe it is a really cool medium and I'll be attempting other projects with it; however I think I'll stick to just cardstock when making these flowers in the future. His tattered flowers die rocks! Here's the end result of the class with an awful photo and a pretty cool end result.<br />

I'm still trying to figure out how to save CM Storybook pages into .jpegs that can be uploaded. Ditto for the Scrapbook Factory Deluxe version 5. Why do software developers change how you do things and then hide them or rename them to some function alien to the actual users? It's mondo frustrating!<br />

Ohhh, I'm so excited - I did figure it out in CM. However. I was helping DH with our 2010 taxes. Now I cannot remember how I did it.

Can't believe that so much time has passed since I blogged. 2011 has arrived, is rapidly passing, and I'll try to do better this year. Ha! If you believe that I've got swampland to sell... Mojo has been missing for quite awhile now and my new laptop wouldn't recognize the hardware when I tried to download the photographs I had taken. Not that I'd taken two shots every weekend; however I had taken some. Last weekend, before the Pine Cove retreat, I took one last try at downloading and <em>voila!</em> it worked! Don't know how, don't know why -- I'm happier now.<br />
<br />
I should have some fabulous photos to share. I do not. So much time has elapsed that I'm not really feeling any of those shots. Well, okay. Here are a couple of the ATCs I did for an M&M swap a few weeks, uh months ago. They were fun and I absolutely loved all the ATCs received from my scrappy peeps. I'm hoping Mojo will return soon and we can play again.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I created a December Daily digi album that I'm working on now to add photos and journalling. Yes, I did say I'm adding some journalling! This is DD last Christmas at home and I thought I'd document all the family traditions of the season. We tried to do as many as possible this year and even added a new one. One page from the 2010 December Daily...<br />

She's lucky to be alive. The photo says a lot about the damage that has decreased my trade-in money even more than the age/condition of the vehicle. She's lucky to be alive. Her dad hasn't seen it yet and he won't for a couple of weeks, as he's on vacation. I took photos and sent them to him. This one shows how the car door no longer seals with the roof. The full impact isn't seen in this view. Just wait til her father gets home... Did I say she's lucky to be alive?</span><br />

I should have photos of ALL the rugs I looked at and returned. Who knew buying a bathroom rug was such a challenge?! I didn't even think about toting the camera with me. The weekend slipped by quickly, as I had to work the holiday. It was nice being one of two on the whole floor.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the weekend, I came across the most unusual bromeliad with stiking colors in the bloom. Seems like this is my summer of flowers and foliage pictures.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our front yard is finally looking good this summer. We had major damage a few years ago from a spring storm and our huge trees were old & rotting. They were both taken down two years ago and we redid the front. This year I waited to prune the hedges along the house and DH was afraid I'd killed them. Well here's proof that I didn't. They look healthy to me!</span><br />

These were taken while Elena was here from Greece. Let's pretend they were taken this last weekend. The point is to actually use the camera and take two shots. Doesn't matter when, right? Well, I got more than two shots on this outing and decided these were the best from a photographer's point of view.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We spent the morning in Fort Worth at the Stockyards and played until the heat was unbearable. Riding the mechanical bull was a highlight for both the girls and they really enjoyed the Maze. </span><br />

Well, I do! We visited Speed Zone on Friday night and had such a good time. Mostly, I played. However, I did try to get a few photos for Elena to take home. It was very difficult to get good pictures when everyone was actually racing - in fact I only got one that wasn't a blur of motion. So, here's a shot of the trash talk that occurred before each race started. You know how that goes. "You're going down! etc... " Paul kept nudging Ash before the go signal was released. She got annoyed. eventually.</span><br />

This weekend actually started on Thursday in Glen Rose, TX. We took a road trip to Fossil Rim, a drive through, Safari type park and then visited Dinosaur Valley. The kids really enjoyed both and were even quite daring in their interactions with some of the animals. Here's witness to how they fed some...</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do believe this challenge is improving my skills. I'm trying different angles, different lighting and really stretching myself to get better shots. The kids really wanted the giraffe to poke his head through the car. That wasn't possible this trip because we didn't take my car. Granny's van doesn't have a sunroof, so they tempted the guy to stretch over the van to the other side for his treat. This is the resulting shot...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The Crepe Myrtles on the back fence are just gorgeous; however, I keep thinking the Little Gem Magnolia tree in the front is on it's last bloom.

The resulting shot was taken AFTER we had devoured part of the cake. Not so great photography, but the cake was oh so scrumptious!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's so hot here in Texas that we tried to escape to the lake for some relief with my sister and brother-in-law. Their boat had other plans for us, as the starter gave Captain Bob trouble. The girls managed to each get a ride on the tube before he decided not to shut the motor off again. I missed my turn, but I'm so happy we didn't need a tow back to the launch ramp. This picture of Ash and Elena is much better in black and white. Can't you just feel the temperature rising?</span><br />

I took 978 shots and didn't pick up the camera this last weekend. So, I'm gonna cheat and show you two more pictures I took on the trip. Still counts, right?</span><br />

I've been in Europe for 10 days and the shots I got were fabulous. This first weekend was easy because I had loads of photos to choose from! Even using a new camera, I think the trip shots are rather nice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Saturday, we visited the Eiffel Tower. After a two-hour wait in line, we were finally on our way to the top. This shot is taken from level one at sunset. We actually were at the top at twilight and the view was outstanding. For this challenge, I wanted to capture the perspective <strong>to</strong> the top, instead of the view <strong>from</strong> the top.</span><br />

No, that name was given to DSS several years ago. Can't give DH the same nickname. Like father, like son, eh? At DH's request, here's an addendum to the Bike Hazard LO I did earlier this spring.</span><br />

Then, he can put 25% weight on the foot for two additional weeks. Following that, he goes back to specialist for evaluation. It's going to be a LONG summer.</span><br />
