Creating Memories

Time seems to fly by, but memories linger.  The kids are back in school, and all we are left with are memories of a summer gone by.  Ellie and I had a busy summer. We did alot of fishing, movie watching, reading, swimming, crafting and creating. 

  Last year I started a journal out of and old ledger that I garbage picked.  The pages are full of records of hand made furniture dated during the sixties.  I LOVE MY JOURNAL!!  At first I didn't know what to put is the journal.  I just started collecting pictures of things that inspired me and writing short thoughts, wishes, fears, dreams.  Before you no it, my journal was filling up.  Now it has drawings, paintings, fabric and pretty much anything I wish to throw in there. I think having a journal is helping me capture memories.  I look back and can see how busy I have been, I can see that I have lived.
