Just another baby step in my Journey

I have completed my next baby step. I have completed my second youtube video. This video has my kits that I have available on my Etsy store and my cute new charms that I made. I don't have pictures taken of my charms yet. That's the next phase of this baby step. My goal this week is to finish photographing my charms load them on my Etsy store. Get the charms ready in there packages and finish up a few other 1/2 started projects. Uggggg baby steps are lots of work. Well as I upload the youtube video I am trying to get a bazillion other things done. I hope one day soon my baby steps will turn into bigger steps and more of them.

To continue this wonderful Journey

Well I just posted on my Etsy store my very first paper bag kit. Its really pretty paper. I love the collection. So one of my goals is completed but a little later then I had hoped. But that's the beauty of this adventure to learn and grow. It is such a rewarding experience to set goals and obtain them one by one. It helps with self esteem and to find some courage you didn't think you had. Will they sell? I don't know. Maybe so but then again honestly Maybe not. Its okay. It is a dream and I am starting to obtain my dreams and making the dream a reality. Baby steps.... With everything that I have been through and lived though I feel like even the smallest of a baby step is a mile stone for me. Way to go me....
My Etsy Store is kayearl6.etsy.com

Uggg Part of my Journey...

Isn't life crazy...I have been sick off and on and now I am feeling a little better. I will need to create new goals for myself as I can see I have really fallen short of my other goals. Well isn't that part of the journey process? Finding out what you want to do and actually can do are often 2 very different things. I will return sometime today and then again it may be tomorrow and start a new set of goals. I will be really striving for more excellence and see what happens. Its a process and its a journey.

Still a little Behind schedule...

Well wouldn't ya know it. Life is life and not a whole lot you can do about it. I am still a little behind schedule and I do need to pick up the pace now that I am feeling a little better. I am still working on a few project that are in the works. I want to get things done and posted but I tell ya its not easy in the summer time when all the kids are around. I don't get as much done. I am determined that my children will always come first. Nothing is more important to me, so there are days that I just won't get everything done that I want to. That's life.
I am still working on Mengubah Monday's and trying to get a schedule put together for that. I am still working on the Gone with the Wind/ Wizard of Oz page swap. I thought that I had some interest but nothing in my email box as of yet. We will see. I am finding that summer isn't just slow for me but for a lot of mom's out there. It's nice to know that I am not the only one because it makes me feel normal instead of a failure.
Alright so that's it for today...

I completed my 6x6 Page (Gone with the Wind)

I completed my 6x6 page (Gone with the Wind), its my sample page to show. I will do a youtube video on it hopefully tomorrow. I am really excited to put this swap together so I hope people like the idea. If not like I said I will just do one myself no big deal. I posted it on Life's a scrap beach today to try and spark some interest so we will see. I don't know maybe I am the only one that likes the idea.
Well as for completing anything this week the Gone with the Wind page is it. I have had a rough week being sick and my family was sick. Yucky's running amuck in my house. Not fun. Next week should be much better.
I cant believe its Friday already, and almost the end of the month. I am still getting ready for Mengubah Monday...I really am kinda excited about it.

Just a random thought but a useful thought I think

I was just thinking about this yesterday which triggered my post today...Scrapbooking has truly evolved into a true art form. If you look at a lot of these very talented women's work its truly an Art. They are so talented and creating the most spectacular creations and all of which if you watch them the piece evolves as they create. Isn't that technically the definition of Art? Its amazing. There are a lot of women who still do the traditional scrapbooking yes. A lot of women do both, but to me watching before my very eyes the talent just oozing this beautiful art I am so glad to be a part of it.
Well that all for now. Until next time.
