Well It has been almost a year since I posted and it has been  an interesting time to say the least.  I don't want to dwell on that stuff though.  I want to focus on the creations that are creeping out of creative heart on to paper and just share what makes me happy.

This piece is my take on Tim Holtz's Tattered Flower Challenge. Instead of creating layers of flowers I used the negative space and stenciled layers on to my Journal page. After a minor creative alteration or 10, it was nothing like I envisioned but I am happy with it. 

Just a few other pages that have been generated the past little while.

Okay, lets see if I can make this work at long last...

Here is the picture of KC holding her new favourite treat a Cows Tail. This was at Hanna, AB.

Of course we brushed our teeth after our snacks.  These little toothbrushes were so cool.
As i mentioned earlier there was a lot of rain, thunder and lighting.....and it got pretty scary at times. The only thing I could do was to keep reminding myself about the fun waiting for me.

The last part of the trip was a bit of a pain with a flat tire, that i had to fix, then my choke got stuck so I had to try and fix that in the rain.  Then last but not least my wipers broke down at 10:30 at night in the pouring rain on a gravel road. Kids, now that had me afraid because I was afraid of getting hit, I was afraid of wildlife sneaking up on me and I wasn't sure how i was gonna fix things with no tools.  I had to sit down and tell myself to put my worries aside and just focus on how to make things work so I could get to my scrap booking friends. Well I did, and I finally got there.  Sorry, it was to dark for more pictures.

We had a great time, and I shared with everyone about the thing that made my heart sing this last year. I shared with them about our times together, I explained to them about KC and the journey.

Well technicalndifficulties continue but.....

Hi kids! and visiting adults

Well no replacement cable ewas tuo be found todayeM so..I will just use my words. Oh, and I am going to apologize for grammer, punctuation errors and spelling. i am doing this on my phone.lol

One of the things I want to talk with you about is facing our fears, it is really hard to do but you find the reward once you have done it.t Since Friday I have had to face my fears on a few occasions anwd i atm going to pointt them out...and then tell you what the reward was.

Friday was a bad day....I was six hours late leaving Saskatoon, . By the time Kale's Cow (now called KC) and i left i was tired. so we jumped in the car knowing that it wasgonna mean driving in the dark in a strange area.  So KC and I made our first stop at Rosetown, where KeC I got some drinks.

 KC is holding the Rockstar webought, I know KC is too young to be tdrinking that stuff....but it was a great photo and ur first. As we leave Rosetown....the heavy rain started by the tme we got to Kinderaley there was lighting andthunder.  Now I like a good storm but not when I am driving, so a little fearful...but i remind myself of the fun at Scrapbook your Heart retreat. We stopped for  gas wand KC and I figured out how to get her photo with the giant cactus. This is close to Hanna AB.

Cow's Tales
I also introduced KC to a new treat that she just loves!  ...so do I


Finally i got to the part that was the most scary to me....driving in the dark, in heavy rain, on gravel roads, in fog. i told myelf that i could do it, just to travel slow and trust my instincts.  Eventually I got to the camp and my friends were very happy to see me. They knew my fears and were wondering if I decided to not come.
