Hopes and Dreams…"Nothing happens unless first we dream." ~Carl Sandburg
A few dreams have been my companions since I was a young RN. That’s real persistence!!
As time has passed, certain dreams have become less important, dropping out of my thoughts or changing form. Some have cropped up more recently. Certain dreams beg to be gently nurtured or stubbornly cultivated, others, quietly treasured.
A few of my more “recent” dreams actually surprise me, ‘cause they’re things I never imagined would become “my” dreams, but they’ve unfolded in my heart and head through circumstance, experience or need.
Although I have many hopes and dreams, here are the outlines of three:
~ I dream of being a positive force, encouraging and energizing other women facing major challenges in their lives.
~ I dream of completing my Masters degree.
~ I dream of buying an RV and travelling back to Alberta with Pete and the kids so that we can explore it together.
Quotes (from The Quote Garden) are as follows (and YES, they're on my mirror!):
“Whatever you dream you can achieve, begin it. Genius has boldness, power and magic in it.” ~Goethe
“Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities.” ~Sue Ebaugh
“One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks.” ~Jack Penn
“Establishing goals is all right if you don't let them deprive you of interesting detours.” ~Doug Larson
This card was created based on a sketch by Noella Arsenault.
" You've got the Moves!"
"Get Comfy!" is a page I did of a visit we had to our wonderful neighbours' home last summer. Noah looked so cute on Reg's chaise lounge!
Another layout done for Scrapbooker's Clubhouse with the awesome Paper Trunk September Kit. I was also able to incorporate some of the SBCH June Daisy Bucket Kit papers here. Just delicious!
Here's a card I made for my Dad in law for his birthday. It's a tad late, we sure hope he likes it!
Our sweet son Daniel, last August (2006) during our PEI trip. We had just arrived at the PEI Provincial Park we made "home" for a week. Awesome place! I'm so thrilled with the simplicity of this LO. I love LO's that place a focus on the photo(s). I don't often do 1-photo LO's either, so this was a really good exercise for me. Thanks for looking!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY TO OUR DEAR FRIEND AND NEIGHBOUR, REG!!!
I love how this layout shows Daniel's little hands. He had just turned six wen this was taken. Here is the journaling:
