Words of Wisdom

  • The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. - Henry Ward Beecher
  • Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather a skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, throughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!" - Hunter S. Thompson
  • Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. - Mark Twain
  • The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. - Peter F. Drucker
  • Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. - Albert Einstein
  • Be silly. Be honest. Be kind. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

More LOAD Catch-Up

There's always something going on, but I've managed to make time to do a Layout-A-Day. I find it easier to carve out a half-hour to an hour each day than I do to remember to take a photo a day for the 365 challenge. I'm seriously considering doing a layout a day as opposed to photo a day for 2010. Thinking I'll have that challenge start October 1, rather than November 1, so I have 31 days already completed!

Here are the recent layouts:

Day 20 (based on the Ella sketch found: here)

LOAD20 

Day 21 (based on the Feeling Scrappy sketch found: here)

LOAD21A 

Day 22 (based on an Ella gallery layout found: here)

LOAD22 

Day 23 (Not based on anything except my need to use up my Daisy D's rubons!)

LOAD23

Day 24 (this was a just back from basketball, sent one off to hockey, another to the movies, gotta get laundry done, get another ready for hockey and where the #&^%! is the wine opener layout)

LOAD24

What about you? Are you participating in a Layout A Day? Is it something you'd find interesting? Would you do it for a year? What do you do to keep yourself motivated and creative? Do you stall out? Are you stuck on the idea that every layout has to be "publishable" or perfect?

Where I Buy Fun Supplies

  • A Cherry On Top
    I can't "toot" loud enough to let you know how fantastic this online resource is: tons of product, great prices, FAST shipping - a week quicker than any other US online retailer. Love them, love them, love them. If you have to pay duty and taxes I'd rather pay it quick than have to wait for the privilege!
  • Forever Scrapbooks
    Located a few kms away in Burlington. Great when I need something quick, I can usually find it here.
  • Pages In Time (Michigan)
    A bit of a hike, but well worth the trip if you happen to be in Michigan.
  • Pick of the Patch (Port Coquitlam, BC)
    Fantastic monthly kit, look forward to opening it each month. It always includes something I can't find locally.
  • Scrapbooks By Design (Toronto)
    Fabulous place, but the website does take f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to load.
  • The Crafty Scrapper (Texas)
    Oh my, a feast for the eyes, your fingers get itchy just walking in the front door, so much stuff to behold. Located in Waxahatchie, Texas it's a bit far, good thing they have a website and decent shipping!
