Omgoodness, y'all.

 I feel like it's been FORever since I've shared any scrapbook pages with you!
And part of that is because - 
 HEY - I just don't scrapbook as much as I did a few years back...
my little monthly group has dwindled away [as groups tend to do...] 
and, sadly, I've not been motivated to get to it at night & weekends on my own... 
That creative time is usually reserved for Art and Bible Journaling... 
But! Two things have happened in 2020 - 
I've found a local monthly crop that is WONDERFUL!
[on hold right now due to COVID19]
 And --- I joined Stacy Julian's 20 in 20 class for the year!
So I'm happy to say that I have completed our 2018 travel album... 
and have a goal of completing the 2019 travel album this year. 
[I have several other scrappy goals with this class as well 
- it's really the push I needed...]
One of the recently suggested projects was Ali Edward's Pieces of us [Me] project that she promoted several weeks back... 
You might remember me sharing these on insta and FB in February... 
Y'all know I like a little clear page now and then...
But I kept things simple... with just a bit of patterned paper,
 titles printed on the computer, 
and hand journaling on the cards that come with the album.
The only thing I purchased was the album...
everything else came from stuff in my craft room.
 I love it's tiny size...
Honestly - when I participated in this 'challenge' I was just going through the motions, 
taking the assigned photos with no real thought to them...
But as I pulled things together to put in the album, 
I began to think about what 60 means to me 
and where I am in life right now...
It really is a little album reflecting on where I am now - 
and maybe, not stated - but also where I want to be 
a year or two [or more!] from now -
And like I say in the journaling - I am who I am -
 but it's really all about trusting in God for me... 
He holds our future...
I plan to move forward... always looking for the good, staying healthy... loving others...trusting God... hopefully showing His love.. 
and living life as I carry on... 
Day by day...
