My Creative View: LOAD 2 & 3

Monday, February 4, 2013

Some unexpected things fell in my lap well after signing up to do LOAD this month. I'm going to do my best to keep up with both the LO's and blog posts, but it just may not happen.

LOAD2- Describe your perfect day. I did a page about my husband. I didn't describe his perfect day. I created a a page celebrating an accomplishment that was perfect for him. He was asked to work hard, and that if he did, he would be recognized for his efforts. He did, and he was rewarded in front of his peers and leaders. He asked me not to post it online, so I have a portion of the page to share.

My idea was to take the same photo and print it 3 ways to show how he was trying to make a difference.

Supplies:

PP-MME, AC; embellies-AC, word stickers-Theresa Collins; stencils-Crafters Workshop; spray mist-Mister Huey

LOAD3--Focus on an important but overlooked item. I decided to focus on....ME. I get so busy and focused on my family, that I don't take care of me. Oh, and yes, I did read The Happiness Project, by Gretchen Rubin...

Again it was one of those days where I didn't get to begin until 7pm, but I was able to get 'er done. Everything on the page is the Fancy Pants 'Be You' collection. I purposely bought it to use for pages about me. It's the only time I ever get to use pink! I decided to try a new place this month, SWAT and their first challenge was to get out from behind the camera...so I did,

Super LOAD pages! I really like the repeat of the photo of DH, neat idea! Also, a great take on LOAD #3, and focusing on yourself...I think, as mothers, we tend to forget about our own needs. Love it!
