My Circle Journal

I'm participating in my very first circle journal...

For those of you who are not scrapbook/paper arts savvy, this is a group that you join where every participant creates a themed book, which is sent month by month to each person in the group. When you receive a book, you create an entry for their journal, then send it on to the next person on the list. At the end, you receive your own book back, full of artsy journal entries from talented women all over the world.

My book is themed "I Am Beautiful." I hope to see women embrace their beauty and celebrate their unique, God-given traits. I finished my part of the journal off this weekend and sent it in the post today. It's off on it's journey, and I won't see it again for ten months.

I'm so excited to get the first journal that I get to contribute to... it should be here any day.

Anywho - here are pictures of my book... I'm pleased with how girly and sweet it turned out...

    I already left you pea praise at two peas too! But I just wanted to come visit your lovely blog.

    I am so excited about your circle journal topic. Whenever I think of it I can hear that song that's always on the radio "You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, it's true".

    I got my hubby to take some pics of my this weekend (I was having a good hair day) so now I'm ready for your cj. Thanks Cathy!

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
