First, since I can’t post without a picture, let’s do “a year ago today”…b/c it makes me smile and want to cry all at the same time. Where does the time go??

Sadie:
ACK!!!! Oh my heart hurts!!
And last week:
they are NUTS. talking a mile a minute, both of them (even though sadie’s talking is babbling) and ALL over the place. i wish i had a tenth of their energy.
i mean , really, what did i do before they came along. i can’t remember. 😉
i wanted to answer another question today…
what is your creative process?
some of you have asked for a tutorial or step-by-step…but you know what?
that wouldn’t work with me. i don’t really think about it.
i don’t sketch or plan,
or move things around on paper, or use design rules.
i just do what i feel like
doing at the moment.
photos are the inspiration.
and if you’ve been following my blog at all,
you know that. photos and the story.
i’m not really all about techniques,
layering, fancy details, or complicated pages.
i print the photos and glue them down.
add some touches here and there, and then journal.
i want to save the photos, get the stories down,
and use some pretty papers to accent
the photos and story.
i once had someone tell me my layouts were “easy to copy”
b/c they aren’t complicated or hard to do.
and i’m totally, completely cool with that.
i don’t put my stuff out there to show off
or solicit compliments about how hard it looks.
i put it out there to hopefully inspire, to share.
and my layouts work for me.
so there you have it. no process. just playing and making something i love.
i have another question about journaling that i will answer soon. (i didn’t forget about you, ms. jill…but your questions take some serious thought!!).
happy tuesday, everyone!
