I wish I could spend more time but motherhood does call and so it makes it necessary that I have to cook or do a load of laundry or whatever, you know what I mean. If you are so blessed with a space like this you know what a haven it is and the peace it can bring to your life when you are there. To have a job where that is all I did would be heaven by the way. That said I thought I'd share what I have been doing lately.
Firstly I have to share one of my big weakness' (other than chocolate) -movies and tv series. Yes, I am behind the times, but in the past year I just discovered Friends. I have been slowly accumulating the seasons one by one and enjoying them all. I love to have something on in the background while I am creating.
So on to the latest project...I am taking an online class called LOM Library of Memories from Big Picture Scrapbooks in which you learn to put all your photos into an organized system so that you can later scrapbook them into meaningful ways other than chronologically. I have always wanted to do this but did not even know where to begin so this class (it is also a book) has really spear-headed it for me. So this is what my desk looks like at the moment.
Stacks and stacks of photos that I have had printed and then begun the process of sorting to then put them where they need to be. It is a bit daunting but I am up to the task and I take it one session at a time. The rewards will be priceless in the end so I will press on.
These are a few I have come across in the process and I couldn't get over how cute my kids are and how much the boys look alike. The top one is Izy and Caden and the bottom is Izy and Sage. I just love it.
Where is this post going? No where really...I'm not going to draw any great life lessons for you as I sometimes try to do, this is just me and one of the places my heart is.

I like the post! It's fun to have non life changing posts sometimes! If you ever read my blog you'll see I practice this almost every post! lol! Welcome back!
Kim0 ~ There is one lesson to be drawn: If this right-brained creativity were a 'job,' it might lose it's Relished Delight. Just a thot!
And where's the guilt? You gotta have a way to refuel or you're useless to everybody. Fill up your tank, I say!
Love the scrapbook update. I'm passing your news on to Elissa. She's a scrapbookin' Queen herself. You should see Joy and Nathaniel's 60 page wedding gallery she made them. I wish she'd drawn my name last Christmas! :)
