My entry for the Sound of Music Challenge! JULVSBNE . I used a photo I had taken in our front yard of a rose bud just blooming. Printed my journaling out in light gray on vellum and layered it on top of the photo.
Journaling reads:
Other than my children and my husband, my favorite things are things that are just MINE! Things that only I understand the importance of. I love a good bookÂ….especially reading it while I am soaking in a nice hot bath. I love thunderstorms late at night and the smell of an approaching storm. I love looking at a rosebud just beginning to show its color.
My favorite season is summer. I love the sun shining on my face and the warmth in the air. I love the sounds of the neighborhood kids playingÂ…Â…of course I prefer them NOT to be in my yard! Haha! I love the sound of my neighbor mowing his lawn and the smell of the cut grass when he is finished. I love the smell of suntan lotion and tan little bodies running all over the place. Mostly I just love the nice weather.
My favorite hobbies are sewing and stamping/scrap booking. I love that I can create anything I want to if I just put my mind to it. I can make outfits for my sons or a card for my Mom. I can turn plain old pictures into works of art. I love being creative and turning ordinary things into something extraordinary. I love the feeling I get when I finish a page or card and look upon it and think “yep, that’s good!”.
I have many many favorite things…these are just some of the best to me. I know throughout my life this list will continue to grow and for that I am so very thankful! Life is good. The more “favorite thing” I can accumulate, the better life will get.
