Journaling:  i love to rememberhaving breakfast with mama last september, and then walking outside to enjoy her garden.  one of the best features is hergoldfish pond, which exists because a tree was uprooted after Hurricane Ivan in 2004.  Journaling (Left):  mama had always wanted a goldfish pond, but the expense and effort made it an unlikely addition.  and then fate stepped in.  in the fall of 2004, a hurricane uprooted a tree by the patio, making the perfect hole for a goldfish pond. mama was devastated to lose the tree and from just the utter devastation in the garden, but she was able to see ahead and realize the blessing in disguise.

remembering 9/11

I created this collage piece for the Twin Towers Challenge, this week's Altered Hearts Friday Challenge at Scrap Orchard. It's been a while since I did a collage piece with no pictures, and I must say I really enjoyed the creative process and expressing myself through images. Sometimes there just aren't words, you know?

Remarkable

My youngest sister just left for college today. She's so beautiful and smart and I just know she's going to have the time of her life. Just a little message from me to her: go out there and do something remarkable, Ems!
