I can’t believe it has been a month since I’ve written a blog post, but I decided (about a month ago) that I would give myself permission to float from project to project and and see where my creativity takes me.

And this is a perfect example of that…

A gift of homegrown eggs.

Sometime in September, I thought I wanted to give myself a little push to get into my journals more often. I should know by now that the word “push” does not inspire me, it makes me dig my heels in. How it was supposed to work was I take a photo everyday of something I’m grateful for and put it in my journal, it lasted for a week. Don’t get me wrong, I find plenty to be grateful for throughout the day, but taking a photo of whatever it is…every day? Ya, moving on…

A deer in the field.

But since I made an effort for one week, I thought I would share what I came up with. My daughter sent me a video of my grandson telling this whole yarn about how he spotted a deer foraging while he and his friends were building a fort in the field across from their house. He was so excited, I took a screen shot from the video, so fun!

Finishing up old projects.

I made some TN style journals and decorated a journal cover. Yes, in one day! I had all the ingredients to make about ten journals sitting in a container, all I had to do is put them together. I’m really wondering when I’m going to catch up on all the half done projects in my world.

Staying grateful for the small things.

My husband and I have taken several fishing trips this month, and I took very few photos. I just wanted to soak it all in. I didn’t spend very much time on our boat when we lived on the Puget Sound, but I absolutely love going out on the lakes now and navigating while my husband fishes.

And this is why I took a break from blogging. How do you share about a project you’re not doing anymore? But I did, and there it is.

I have actually worked on a few other things lately, so I will share about those soon.

Until then,

Thank you for stopping by,

Have a great week,
