AoG 4 - Time

Today's topic was Time - how do you spend your time, do you procrastinate? Well I need to be honest and say yes I am a bit of a procrastinator and tend to put off doing some things - especially the ironing! but I am working on it. I often leave things to the last minute before doing them, but again working on it!!

Todays technique was to use an embossing folder as a stamp - well as my inks and stamps etc are in storage I have done something different. I did the background using my Inktense blocks (which I am loving) then added the clock image from a napkin, and then added the words. I was quite pleased with these pages.

So are you a procrastinator?

AoG Day 3 - Creativity

Day 3 of Bernice's Attitude of Gratitude challenge was to look at Creativity and what it means to you.

As we are made in the image of God and God is a creator, then I think that everyone has creativity inside them. Creativity can express in many different ways in different people. For me I enjoy scrapbooking, art journalling, knitting, crochet, baking and these are ways in which I can be creative. Art journalling is something I am just learning and hope to do more of once I get all my paints etc out of storage. The same goes for scrapbooking as all my craft supplies are in storage. I did however keep out my wool for knitting and crochet which is what I have been doing more of lately. I am thankful that I have these different creative outlets and also thankful that I have a family who are understanding and supportive of these hobbies. On several occasions the children have been known to pose for photos - you can tell they are scrapbookers children.

What creative outlets do you enjoy?

Attitude of Gratitude Day 1

Today is the first day of Bernice's Attitude of Gratitude Journal, you can find the details here.  Today was about Wholeheartedness and the challenge was to use a colour you would not normally use. By now you are probably expecting to see my completed page - well not yet - you didn't really expect me to have done a page on the actual day did you???

Three things I am grateful for today -

The beautiful colours in the trees outside my house.
The health and opportunity to go the gym - yes I started today at the gym!
My family.

What things are you thankful for today? Are you joining in with this challenge?
