So I've been inspired by a lot of things lately and with that inspiration it's made me want to pick-up my camera again*
*Ok so not really again. In college, one of my minors was photography and the majority of my classes were with a film SLR camera and I love love love mine. I love developing film and working in the dark room. That is no longer the way of the world. So about a year ago I got a DSLR (digital) to work with and I never really warmed to it. I would like to warm to it...
Along those lines, I decided to start scrapbooking again, which I've enjoyed pretty much my entire life, but haven't worked on any since I got back from Mexico about 3 years ago. And I'm in love with it. I decided to start with 2013 and as I make progress I literally want to keep flipping back to look at it again and again. It's very me.
Sunday morning I was working on my St. Patrick's Day page when I walked to the kitchen for coffee and saw the wrapping on my new toilet cleaner. Yes, I would like to repurpose you for my page. So many things in our world can be used again or repurposed before being disposed of. I may take it to an extreme sometimes, I'm aware of it and pretty sure only a few people know how far I can take it sometimes (Karen, Dad). I try not to let everyone realize how ridiculous I can be.
So the scrapbooking is going well and making me happy.
Next, up warming up to my camera. I took it out to the lake Sunday to work on that very thing with Rubina's words swimming in my head:
"When people say they don't have time for something, what they're really saying is it's not a priority. If something is a priority, you make time."
Making it a priority.
I got all set-up, reviewed a few things, and my battery was dead.
Fail.
Next time...
