Monday Moment: peek a book mini album

this is the product of my thinking, the fruit of my creativity. i decided to title my book "the way i see my world everyday." the page with my face has to do with acne. my original post with the quote and inspiration is here.

thank you for all you positive feedback on my first monday moment post. here is what monday moment is all about: examining life and seeing the happiness. join me if you wish and send links of your layouts or mini albums. i will share your link on my blog a week after the original quote day.

layout: cheerios face

this is the second layout i am doing for everything scrapbook and stamps in lake worth, florida. it is nice to be on their design team again, already it has been so much fun. i was able to use one of the new pink paislee vintage moon papers, here. i did another layout with the vintage moon papers, however i didn't take a picture of it and it is already in the everything scrapbook and stamp store. i was glad i was able to finally scrap this photo. i get a cheerios craving every time i look at it.

my new series begins today: Monday Moment

this series that i am beginning is a journey into a life that i have created, am still creating; a life that i feel is very much worth living. the quotes and the photos are meditations; meant to be contemplative moments. i hope you find inspiration in this and more than that i hope you find and share the peace.

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents.....

Mahatma Gandhi

this is what i feel from the picture and the quote:
i shortened the quote for the purpose of maintaining focus on the appreciation. i look at the photo... i see the "perfection" - learning from the thought of imperfection...focusing on what is beauty amidst what may seem not so beautiful according to (who?)... i look at the photo and choose to see the beauty, feel the beauty, touch the leaf.... this is success. this is talent to go on living..... looking in the mirror and taking a Monday Moment to see the beauty, feel the beauty, erasing the thought of imperfection...this is my success today. a scrapbooking project will show you how i use this photo as an inspiration.

and as always namaste.

vlog: reveal

please watch my vlog. i hope you are having a wondrous and amazing day. thank you for visiting me today. and as always namaste.

today

today is a special day..as is everyday actually, but i am going to be mysterious for now...soon to reveal.

okay..why?

i saw that a few people had a blog readability level on their site so i decided.. okay what is my blog readability level. i am game for this today. i did this blog and the living as a life artist blog. this is what it told me. okay, so i am thinking that not using punctuation in the right places and not capitalizing words puts you in a higher ranking category(?) mostly i think it is a funny...and a nice compliment.

video: Stamping and Crushed Velvet Flock

so i am loving crushed velvet flock.  it is super fun. i did two videos yesterday.  one of them is glitchy so be warned.  i hope it answers some questions about stamping with the essential glue pad and cleaning the stamp. have a wondrous day. and as always namaste.
