6 words

Another challenge in the KK Beyond Layers class was to pick our 6 words  something inspired by an Smith Magazine    we need to pick 6 that describes us

Now I have a hard time with this as I have said before but I came up with this:



live life for today not tomorrow

what does that mean well it means I try not to let my past rule my present and my future    sure our past shapes our future but its what builds us as a person  life has ups and downs, good and bad, happy and sad, if it didn't well we might as well be a rock because there would be no emotion in our lives  no sparks to keep us going to the next day

so I try to think of today as just a stepping stone for tomorrow and a new adventure awaits just on the other side of that rainbow

what is your 6 words???


side note:
picture taken in 2007 in Hoonah Alaska in the icy straight,  we were on a cruise and suppose to go to Skagway well rough seas prevented it so we changed to Hoonah at first we were sad because we had a fun train ride planned but oh were we so glad we ended up here.  to this day we talk about some of the unexpected ventures we had that day.  it was fitting to have this rainbow show up on one of those adventures some of my favorite pictures came from that little town

Just enough

struggled with this theme from kim klassens beyond the layers class  finally came up with this




used just 2 layers of texture on this one called awaken and the other called chamomile  tried to make it uncluttered but couldn't resist putting some words in it

my story

  

my story

that's me in all my glory at work  Not to bad for a cell phone picture  First off I will have you note the pants they are green and the rest is brown   That is what I get for getting dressed in the dark and hubby never noticed as I walked out the door that way.  what does that show you well, I suppose I could have gone home and changed, at least at lunch, but NO stayed and worked even told others what I did  just how I am if you can't laugh at yourself then life is just no fun  It shows I make mistakes, lots of them at times, and sometimes I don't learn from them, yes this has happened before 

Any how a little about me  I am a 46 year old working mom of a 21 year old  Not sure how time crept up so fast but it did  I think sometimes my head doesn't realize I am suppose to be an adult  I work full time in a legal office with the title of accounting clerk but really its more like jack of all trades but I pay the bills and maintain a database most of the time  

In my spare time I have fallen back in love with pictures  I don't always take a good picture but I keep trying  I have improved over the last few years and each year my scrapbooks get bigger  or that could be that I have a digital camera and don't know when to stop taking pictures when I do take pictures   Because I am at work all day it is usually  the weekend when I catch up taking pictures especially in the winter when I leave in the dark and get home in the dark  I don't ever plan to get rich with taking pictures just want to improve on what I take mostly  

I also like to make cards and use rubber stamps for that  I have another blog for that and just recently started it back up again  I recently started walking 1/2 marathons I know crazy right but once you start it gets a little addictive  I love to try new things, yoga is on the list for this year  love my dog and frequent model for my pictures a westie named Duncan   and if I had more time and money my favorite thing is to travel  ANYWHERE

so that is a little tid bit on me looking forward to meeting everyone in the beyond the layers class
