Welcome 2012 with One Little Word: Shine

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...

2011 in One Little Word: Home

 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.

About Me

Welcome! Hi all! I live in rural East Texas with my husband. I'm passionate about telling our everyday and rather ordinary story through words and pictures here on my blog and on my digitally scrapbooked pages. Geek. Creative. Problem Solver. Traditional. Introverted. Those are all words that you might use to describe me. I love to have fun while stilling keeping it calm and simple.

My thoughts

I find that I experience things through the lens of the camera- so I snap away. I have lots of shots from places that don't tell much of a story- other than we were there and we saw it, it was beautiful. To me, those pictures are meant for photo albums. I can spend time telling other stories that are more important. Why waste my time saying, we saw it and it was beautiful or different? I will often include a a few pages in my albums about a trip- a few that tell of particularly meaningful moments and then an overview page. The rest of the pictures are perfect for photo albums.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
