"Success is waking up in the morning and bounding out of bed because there's something out there that you love to do, that you believe in, that you're good at--something that's bigger than you are, and you can hardly wait to get at it again." --author unknown
I discovered this awesome quote just a few moments ago when reading a blog from mandylynne.com...she's so talented in her photography that its amazing! My sweet hubby & son gave me the best card & gift for Mother's Day yesterday. They gave me a picture collage from Target that's one of Mandy Lynne's & so today I've been researching about this wonderful artist while my little boy naps. In Mandy Lynne's blog post right before this quote she said, "This quote makes me smile," and you know, it really made me smile & feel happy, too. After the quote she said, "I love this feeling! How about you...what makes you feel inspired and alive?" My thoughts were mirroring her sentiments exactly and made me want to get creative and do something that makes me happy & brings a smile to my lips. So, I think I'm going to work on that...soon...but right now I need to attend to some of my duties at home & wash the dishes! Ugh, oh well--they need to be done, right!? Take care & I'll be back soon!
Don't live down to expectations. Go out there & do something remarkable. --Wendy Wasserstein

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!
