Monday Moment

something to think about today

John Burroughs
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter ... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring—these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

and

Hans Hofmann
The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

quotes from Heartquotes.net

card:detail

today i am sharing a detail from a card i am working on. hope you are having a wonderful day.

layout: boys will be boys

i love seeing my boys together. nonni was so silly to squeeze himself in the laundry basket while zane was there. this layout was made with products from the ESS DT september kit.

vlog: scrapbooking purchases august

Moment Monday

“Dark and Light form a balance. Without the other, Chaos would ensue. The Dark is formed by shadows the Light creates, and if there was no Dark no one would notice the Light.”

--Veronica Schroers

"Every moment of light and dark is a miracle."
--Walt Whitman

two quotes to think about today. have a wonderful day. and as always namaste.
