Busy

Here are a few projects that kept me busy during the holiday/new year season. It has been one of my goals this year to be more grateful. I got this idea from a few blogs I frequent, quite a while ago. It's been stewing in my head, and I finally got around to, no pun intended, putting it down on paper! It's a gratitude journal, with 52 pages for each week of the year. I figured that I wouldn't be able to do a daily entry, but weekly entries would probably be do-able. I made the binder out of cardstock and put random sizes of paper inside. No rhyme or reason to it.











I've also been wanting to do a little album about myself for quite awhile. I have been wondering why and decided that I wish that I had some fun, unique memories and facts about my parents from when they were my age. I filled each page with a different idea. Of course I put in all of my current favorite things, but also some unusual questions like "what I would do if I had the day to myself", or "what I love about myself". Bonnie helped me think of some of them. Thanks girl! Some of my favorites are: "What I want to be remembered for", "What's in my closet", "I had a fabulous childhood", and "I want to learn how to".

That is a great idea, Jess. I have been toying around with the idea of doing an Almanac of myself with all of the facts, like places I've lived, names of my bishops, etc.

My blog is supposed to help me keep some of the stories in mind. It doesn't work so well, though, because I realized that I don't like to publicly share a lot of stories.

Ok Jess- don't you know that blogs like these get you into trouble? I mean I am going to have to insist you teach a class for enrichment! You are so super talented! I think I may need to hire you to do some crafty scrappin' for me too! HA!
