S is for…

Summer
Oh, my sweet little girl. You have brought so much joy to my life. You are sweet and kind and just plain adorable. Much like me, you are drawn to creating & are developing a love for music of all kinds. It's funny to sing along to songs on the radio with you and to hang out and have 'girl time'. You are growing up to be quite a little young lady and can hardly believe that you are 8 1/2 years old already. The time is flying by so quickly that I make sure to stop each day and smother you with hugs and kisses to try to remember when you were this little.

Scrapbooking
It is part of who I am. I love being the family memory keeper and documenting the ordinary as well as the extraordinary. For some scrapbooking is a hobby, for me it is a way of life. It keeps me grounded and sane. It helps me to remember to slow down, enjoy the moments, take pictures and make more memories. For me it is like an autobiography of sorts, as well as love letters to my family. I do enjoy the creative process, but what I love more is being able to convey the overhwelming emotions I want to share with those I love though the stories and photos. To me it's not a hobby it is therapy.

Spicy, I like it
Spicy garlic sauce, Cholula, hot sauce, chipotle in adobo, wasabi, cayenne pepper, jalapenos – some like it hot – that's me!

My children giggling, a soda can opening and ocean waves


This is one of many installments on the ABCs of Me's. Each week I will feature a different letter of the alphabet and a few corresponding entries on yours truly. This project was inspired by a class I took at Big Picture Classes (Me: The Abridged Version) which was based on a book called Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life.

R is for…

Redundant
I don’t like doing things over & over that can be simplified – that’s why I love technology. Macros & Photoshop Actions are my friends. The ability to do things like mail merges and syncing devices makes me smile. Hot keys and keyboard shortcuts make me plain giddy.
Rainbows
I have a fascination with rainbows. Everytime I see one I need to take a picture. I’ve seen some pretty amazing ones over the years. The two best sightings were: 1) a double rainbow at Nags Head that I managed to catch a picture of the reflection in the wet sand, and 2) a rainbow over our Disney cruise ship that seemed to end just over the railing of the ship. Both were equally amazing!     
Remember when, reminiscing
I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older or just because Keith and I have been together for over 20 years... but we seem to be saying remember when a lot lately. It’s usually followed by a funny story or inside joke and it makes us laugh all over again. Even the kids have started saying it and they haven’t been around quite so long. I’m glad that they have enough fun memories already to want to relive the ‘remember whens’.     
Really ? ! (Or ‘Seriously’ ? !
Usually said with much exasperation and/or sarcasm when I find things left undone that I know I told someone to do or something that just shouldn’t be. I suppose my Mom felt this way a lot too!

Diving into Life

Project Life that is. Looking forward to completing this project with my kids. I'm usually a digi scrapper but I'm going hybrid on this one to include my children in the process.
