Hi Experimenters!
Sometimes it seems as if we get so caught up in our day to day lives, that we forget to stop and enjoy the here and now. This weeks' challenge is a lengthy one, it comes from Divia and it's one we should all do now and then...
Set forth a time, and no matter what time it is, or what you are doing, snap a photo. It can be of your children who happen to be running down the hallway with a trail of toilet tissue behind them. It could be that you just finished filling the dogs' bowl, or maybe you are outside admiring the turning of fall. No matter where it is, where you are, snap a photo of that moment....the NOW.
Complete your page with journaling. Dig inside to express how you feel at that moment...that point in time. After all, scrapbooking is about memories...preserving them, no matter how small they may be. It is usually the small memories we hold dear as we grow older...how the laundry smelled after washing, how mom's apple pie made your stomach growl everytime you smelled it...or how you always have a pile of toys to pick up after the kids go off to school. No matter how small or minute, the now is what we live for, so let's capture it!

(listen...) to the here & now. this moment. This.....I could stay in this place forever. This very memory. Walking my girl across the field as she is being honored as a senior. Experiencing this with her is something I will cherish. ~Savannah & Mom - Oct. 24, 2008~

As I look at this picture, I think to myself, that you have no worries in the world. We do all that for you so that you can sleep peacefully at night, and be the kids and adults you are destined to be.

I LOVE this challenge this week. When I was loading the pics from Friday night's Senior Walk, I KNEW this picture speaks VOLUMES of how I felt that night. Of how I'm STILL feeling. The feeling of knowing, of realizing this is my daughter's last year in band. The feeling of pride as we walk her across that football field :) I love that girl!

Just An Overwhelming Mess

Mia Says:
I decided to take a photo of my space, which hasn't been cleaned in more than a month due to non-scrappy issues arising. The clutter is so symbolic right now as to how cluttered my life is but my hobby is as well. LOL!
Journaling:
This is my right now, an area that hasn't been cleaned in almost 2 months. Things have just gotten in the way that my space has been neglected to the point where the mess is just too much. Reminder: MUST clean up this week!
