Reflecting

I've been doing a lot of reflecting in the past week or so. And then today I was looking through my blog trying to find the sweater pictures from 2008 and as I was scrolling through posts I realize just how much I have blogged over the years. There are so many pictures of cards, scrapbook pages, and other projects I have done over the years. It's amazing! When I found a post entitled "My New Obsession" about my newfound love for digital scrapbooking, I had to smile and chuckle to myself because little did I know... I look back at to where I started. I look back and see the journey that has brought me to the place I am today with scrapbooking and creating. I can look back through the posts and see spiritual growth and maturity in my life in general. It's been like a journal to me over the years. I've also journaled in a regular notebook-type journal for years. I've filled so many pages. This blog has been a great avenue of creative expression. It first started as a place to share what I've created with my family and friends who live across the country (because there's no way I'm going to bring a hefty 10+ pound scrapbook with me in my luggage).

Looking through the posts I was thinking about the main reason I have this blog: to inspire. And I really hope I'm doing just that.


This is one of the first scrapbook pages I created following a tutorial from twopeasinabucket.com. It's one of the first pages I created that I liked (and still like). And wow, look how young my little Panda-girl looks! (I love you, Amanda!) It's also the page that I posted to talk about my new obesssion (digital scrapbooking). Some of the older pages I created make me laugh out loud because they are just so...so...hilarious!

I have a lot more on my mind to share, but I will save that for another time.
