Happy New Year everyone!  I’ve been busy catch up on several Big Picture classes that started today (One Little Word, Move More/Eat Well, and Twelve- yikes it’s a lot for one day!)  Cody is, of course, at the deer lease- last day of deer season.  I used to say it’s the last day of hunting season- yes, I was naive.  NOW, oh no, hunting season is year round.  But it does mean it’s time to start thinking about the next...

 You may recall that I chose a word for 2011.  Home.  You might even recall that I participated in Ali’s 2011 One Little Word class.  To be honest, while I participated, I didn’t keep up with the album this year.  And, I really didn’t blog about Home as much as I wanted to.  But, the one thing that stayed constant was a focus on Home. In fact, so much of the focus was about Home- especially in the past 6 months that I...

When my latest layouts arrived in the mail last week, I thought I’d share a look at my scrapbook albums. It’s always fun to see your work in print.  I look forward to getting my new layouts and stalk the post man every time I place an order.  For years, I didn’t get my layouts printed.  When I first started scrapbooking, it wasn’t as easy or as cheap to get your layouts printed- at least full size 12 by 12 or 8.5 by...

Well, it’s bow season at least.  Cody’s hunted one morning for the past two weekends.  He’s kinda hoping that he see’s this guy. 0 But of course, you can’t eat the horns.  Of course, for Cody. . . the socialite that he is. . . it means a chance to talk and hang out with every one on the lease. And more of me waiting on him to quit talking. . . and talking. . .   So we can get some work done.  We added a...

So, I’ve been working to merge things together and thinking about some things I’d like to do in the future.  Add to that some thoughts I’ve had about life today and you get: Ordinary Details!  Reflective Snapshots and Reflective Scrapbooking will now be combined as Ordinary Details.   Being online for me has always been about sharing personal expression.  I’ve seen several phases in my sharing and I think the overall...

Late last month, I participated in documenting a week in my life. We were super busy finalizing a month and a half long project.  For me, that meant keeping it really simple.  I really love this project.  I loved seeing the differences from last year to this year.  I love getting to capture small tidbits that otherwise seem to get lost- like my love hate relationship with watching the X-games.  What can I say, I just love simply capturing...
