It killed the cat, Curiosity that is!

Another page in Shimelle's You Think journal is DONE! Curiosity! Fun mood to ponder, not really following the workbook too much, wingin' it a bit, but hey, that's what makes it mine!Strangely enough, I really like this page. Printed the big ? and "Curious" on a transparency and then clear embossed both. Overlayed this on top of my typical painted and journaled page. Little ribbon tab and voila! it's done. Me likey! Again, will add a photo on it's own little page later.

She did it!

So, the walk is done, and she finished it! No whining, no asking to be carried, no begging to quit. I think having the other girls there put out a little bit of peer pressure, so that helped! Way to go E! I'm proud of you!!! Hopefully pics to come later today.

Just flyin'

Oh yeah baby! I am so rockin' this project. I'm just flyin' at the speed of a fricking SNAIL! I so totally suck at this. This whole introspection thing is kicking my ass. Just finished my sad page and I am spent, completely wiped out. And I don't really think it's actually done, I still want to add some type of photographic visual, but don't quite know what. I like working in this size, and I like the open white space, so I think I'll use some type of photo individually on a separate page and insert it in front of the main page. Anyway, on to the next mood, not angry, not right now anyway, maybe I'll tackle curious, shouldn't be too painful right?

So, it's done, finally finished a page in my You Think journal. Not so sure why I found "Happy" such a difficult mood to journal, but I did. Certainly opened my eyes to some things and made me dig a bit. Still haven't made a cover, am thinking that will have to wait until all the pages are completed, timings just not right yet. Did decide on a size 8 1/2 x 10, don't know why, just felt right, thinking I'll probably toss in some smaller pages with it, and eventually bind with some kind of binder ring. Struggled to find a picture for the happy page, and ended up doing with out, mainly because I couldn't find a happy picture of just me, actually I couldn't find many picutres of just me. Will have to remedy that. Think I'll maybe add small pages of photos later, will have to figure out those logistics!

Yikes, what a crappy post, nothing of substance, and a whole lot of rambling. Think I'll stop here. 

A fun album, just about me, that was the purpose of taking Shimelle's You Think You Know Me online class. I love her classes and I always learn from the experience of taking one, but this class has turned into so much more than I anticipated.

It all started with the workbook which contains prompts to help you define yourself in terms of different moods, happy, sad, angry, brainy, creative etc. You'd think it would be easy right? I mean, who doesn't know what makes them happy. Umm, yeah, hello? Me!! I was astounded at how hard this was. So, it has turned into Do I know Me?

Do I? I used to, a long time ago - was sure of who I was & very secure in all of "that" - scratch that, not secure actually. Not sure secure is the word I want, but I thought I knew who I was. Maybe I've never known me. You'd think that it's something that ought to be second nature - they're just questions right? Shouldn't be too hard to figure out what makes me "fill in the blank with your emotion of choice".

It's been an eye opener. I haven't completed my workbook yet, but I have figured out some of the things in it, and I'm moving forward, and hunting for answers, and getting to know myself a little bit better along the way.
