{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see.
…at Big Picture Classes! Tonight at 6pm west coast time….which is 9pm east coast time (just about the time I am usually changing into PJ’s anyway!) Hang out at the party, join in a virtual make and take, chat on the message boards and work on a project of your own. There’s a rumor that yours truly may be making some kind of an appearance! we’ll see! My children have strict instructions to be in bed, quietly reading to themselves at 9pm tonight (we’ll see how well that works!!)
Hope to “see” you there!!
The Vernal Equinox or…will it ever be spring??
Perhaps one of our biggest projects this spring/summer/fall is to do a LOT of work in the gardens. We had our front steps rebuilt last summer and all of the existing landscaping removed so we are left with a blank slate. I’ve been reading and sketching and consulting and putting together plans and plant lists and waiting waiting waiting to be able to start.
Did I mention there was a blizzard down on the Cape yesterday? Yup, no gardening going on here… yet. I’m getting ready.
I am starting a new garden journal for this house, this year. I kept one at our old house and it really was helpful to see what did well and what didn’t. Last time, I used a book that my mom had bought for me not long after we moved in. This time, I’m building my book from scratch so I can add, subtract and change up as needed. I purchased a Field Journal from Snow Moon as well as a set of digital templates to drop my photos in, print out and add to the book. I’ll share details of the garden journal as we go along. Will I use the templates all the time? Probably not but they are a great way to get lots of photos on the page and they are the right size AND, no fuss no muss.
Here is what was happening last week in the garden here in zone 6B, north of Boston
Yes, still snow on the ground…the only sign of spring is more birds around and a very slight swelling to the buds on the Magnolia tree.
Come on Spring!!! We’re getting ready for you!
What is it looking like in your neck of the woods?
My big big news for the day (actually week and month!)… I will be contributing to the latest class from Stacy Julian and Jennifer Wilson at Big Picture Classes! I can’t begin to tell you how excited and thrilled I am to be working with these amazing ladies…. and when you get a personal email from Stacy Julian saying she likes your work and wants you to help teach a class…you say yes ma’am!! (for my non-scrappy savvy friends, Stacy Julian is one of the driving forces in the modern scrapbook world!)
Check out the class description here: the art + science of scrapbooking
So all my scrappy friends, come check out the Art + Science of Scrapbooking. Registration is on now through May 21. Class is four weeks, 2 challenges per teacher per week. I will be the “right brained” scrapper (no surprise there) doing the “left brained” challenges. Come on over and sign up!!
Can ya tell I’m just a little excited?!
