Make Something Monday

OK, I know only Shannon and Candy are reading this site... but I have to start somewhere:)

I read in my new Favorite Book "5" from compendium that "dreading Mondays is a ridiculous way to spend one-seventh of your life, but that's the weird habit that millions of people have fallen into." The book is based on looking at your next 5 years... so 260 Mondays. Do you want to dread them, or embrace them and make Mondays something special for you... I talked to my friend Shannon about this (one of the two of you reading this so far!) and she make last Monday matter. She has committed to making SOMETHING every Monday from now on. Even if she simply selects and orders some digital photos - it is her goal to Make Something (every) Monday. I love that! I am on board, too. If I had more blog readers, I would ask you to join us. :) We will get there.... that I have no doubt! :) So, for now, anyone who stumbles upon this little blog, Make Something on Monday. If you did just one little thing on Monday for the next 5 years, you would have 260 little things you made! Now that rocks. :)

Scrap Etc Rocked and a New Book I love

Hi. I do not think anyone even comes to this blog yet, so I am kind of writing to myself.... but, I love this book SO MUCH I want to talk about it anyway! :)

At the AMAZING Scrap Etc Event (thank you for everyone who wrote such kind things about our huge classes).... they had this book from Compendium (if I knew how to, I would link you to their site right there, but I have no clue how to do that). The book is called "5". It is all about making you think about where you want to be in 5 years. I loved it. It made my heart race so much I wrote on it in the airplane all the way home instead of sleeping (and I had very little sleep before catching a 3:30 AM taxi to fly home). I loved it so much, I might try to create a simple class based on it. Here are some photos of my book - I love it and I think it matters.... and I really just need things to matter right now.
