December Reflections

December is a month of busy week nights and weekends. Of pressure and obligations. I need to remember to take time to recharge and relax and take time for myself. And not sweat the small stuff. And smile! And have fun!

I took some time last weekend to head out to Jasper to visit my best blog pal! We had a super low key weekend, and it was truly the perfect start to the month.


I have come to love my solo road trips out to visit Nicole & Ian. The roads were surprisingly clear and the drive uneventful. I cranked my classic rock, ate my road trip snacks, and enjoyed the time by myself. Watching the sun set behind the mountains was breathtaking.


I had to pull over as soon as I hit town, because four of my favourite things in the Universe were in the same frame. I had to stop and catch my breath...

1. Mount Edith Cavell & Angel Glacier // 2. The moon! // 3. Venus...a tiny little dot here, but blazing bright and beautiful in my mind. // 4. Whistlers' Tea House.

I don't have any goals or aspirations for December, but I am sure they will come. I hope they will come. I have been feeling very uninspired these past couple of weeks and, well, my writers block is coming on something fierce! Eek! But right now I want to focus less on creating more pressure and more on enjoying the moments and people that are right in front of me.

December, you have reminded me of all that is awesome in my life.
Thanks.

Done and Done

December Goal Accomplished!

I know it seems a little ridiculous, because I scrapbook "for myself" all the time. But when I wrote these goals, I was coming off a two week create-to-work cycle. I made two mini album kits for TM, and that takes a lot of time. And when you're done, it seems like all of your creative energy has been zapped, never to return again.

Or at least, not right away.

This goal was a reminder to get back in to things, without feeling the pressure of a deadline. And to create, just for creation's sake. And to enjoy myself, and maybe have a rum in the process! (It was a regular rum, so I can't cross off #3 yet!)

And then...



 Both layouts features photos take at the #andersongoodwedding. Good times indeed!

For the scrapbookers: Both layouts feature paper and embellishments from the latest Studio Calico kit. And a really (really) old fabric letter!
