It seems like forever since I wrote on this blog...I've had mixed feelings about this blog...I'm not sure where I'm going w/it right now. So, I think it's pretty much on hold for the time being. We'll see how it goes from there. I have had many things occur in my life in the past few months--both good & bad...but all the same it's been quite overwhelming. Yet more changes are coming in my life, so we'll see where that leads.
I am working on redoing & redesigning my card blog for the new year...I've worked awhile on it tonight & now I'm getting tired...So, I will have to return to this another day--maybe tomorrow? I hope! I've wanted to do something different w/my blog for cards & now I've begun...we'll see how it ends up now won't we?

Go & Find That Change!
This blog is supposed to help me w/my creativity in making cards, notebooks, scrapbooks, etc.. I think the title fits quite well for this, also. I need to 'go & find that change.' I came across an email from Lesley, my wombmate, that she sent me almost a year ago--it was April 14, 2009. She said, "So much change is about ready to come for you. Or it is more like you are going to it. You are going and finding that change!" Those words have really hit me so I felt like writing about them here on his creative blog of mine.
Change is not such a bad thing in life. Sometimes it just comes along--other times we go out and seek it--kinda like what my sister was referring to w/my move to Montana. I was embarking on a big change in my life. I had just gotten married to the love of my life the month before...and now, we(me, Dustin & Shane-our son) were moving 3 1/2 hrs away from family & living in the middle of nowhere for a new job. I would be a stay-at-home mom to Shane & that was something I'd never done before. I've always worked ever since forever.
Now a year later we are finding ourselves moving back to Idaho...and the feeling I get just knowing that is very calming. Moving back to where we're from--is comforting. It's also a change, but we will succeed in one way or another.
I have learned that change happens no matter what. We just have to learn how to handle it and figure out how to embrace it. As my sis said, we need to go out & find that change!
I hope all these changes in my life will influence me for the better so I can be the best person I possibly can. Change is good--that's what I keep telling myself. And, all these changes will help me in my creativity w/my card making & scrapbooking projects. Change brings about more change which in turn helps my creativity flow more into projects of my life & what matters to me or catches my interest.
So, let's all go out and find that change!
