First REAL Post

Thought I would share this layout on my first REAL POST (thank you, Leslie!). On it, I share my love/hate relationship with trading in my Suburban for a tiny Toyota Scion XB right after Hurricane Katrina. I find that journaling on the computer when I have alot to share frees me up to fully share my thoughts, rather than being confined by a journaling tag or pre-cut piece of cardstock. The beautiful but busy (BBB, really?!) background paper works when it becomes the frame around the matted layout. The stripes are actually ribbon that is so wide, that I find it hard to use on a layout otherwise.

Find a topic that you have mixed feelings about, snap or download some related photos, and give it a try! If nothing else, it will help to use up all those character letter stickers that are building up in your stash!

Please be patient with me as I begin this electronic journey, and thanks in advance for your support and encouragement!

Apparently, a post on the blog-in-progress is required in order to provide a link for my blog in my friend Leslie's blog. So, without further adieu, heeeeeeere it is!

Oh my word, what have I done?
