Encyclopedia of Me: Letter A

I've always wanted to make an album about myself but other projects always took priority. Janice's A-Z Memory Album Challenge at Pretty Scrappy was just the inspiration I needed to get started!

The journaling begins by saying one the first words I think of when I'm asked to describe myself is "artist."

The sketch in the notebook is of my daughter, Danielle, when she was about 5 years old. The black cat is my Cocoa who passed away just a few months ago. And of course I had to include my latest obsession: digital scrapbook layouts! The lion and lamb were cut from wood with a scroll saw and painted with plaster and acrylics. And the pansies are painted on a hutch in my dining room.

Thanks for Stopping By

For me, scrapbooking is more than just a hobby. It's the best way I know how to keep my mind off my troubles and focus my attention on all the blessings I have in my life.

I used work at a newspaper in the graphics department full-time plus sell digital scrapbook kits on the side. That came to a halt when I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called a Chiari Malformation. I've had three surgeries so far that have only made my symptoms worse.

To try and make a long story short, I am no longer able to work and now use the limited time I'm able to spend on the computer to digital scrapbook and maintain my blog. I feel blessed that I am able to do this because it helps me focus on what is important in my life. Some days I think it's what helps me keep my sanity!
