i am incredibly honored to be the guest artist at creative therapy for this week's catalyst....
the catalyst was: if you could choose one day to live over & over again...which day would it be?
kind of a groundhog day experiment :)
& SO many days popped in my head...but this one i kept coming back to...it was our summer beach vacation last year & the first 2 days had been overcast & kind of blah...so on day 3, we broke out & took a 2 hour drive up to kitty hawk for some mini golf & some toy shop shopping & some fudge & some great crabcake sandwiches (got a really great lunch recommendation from a woman who worked in the fudge shop)...we all just relaxed and had a great time together as a family....on the way back to the beach house mike pulled over & drove on the beach (it ALWAYS freaks me out...the kids have a ball teasing me...lol) ...we propped the camera up on a towel or something & took this photo...it is one of my all time faves :)
i distinctly remember sitting in the truck on the way back & saying to mike "i love this"
and i really enjoyed this catalyst so much, i've created a book to hold my journaling page so that i can continue exploring this catalyst & create more art pages & journaling pages using the same topic. i'm really looking forward to it :)
hope you'll join in for this challenge!
have a wonderful sunday!

Hi Gigi,
Congrats! I've been following your blog for about two months or so now...I love your scrapbook pages they are so simple and clean yet there are so many unique details on every page..you've really inspired me!
I was wondering how you make those pretty round fabric flowers? I was trying to search on the internet but I'm not sure what they're called...they're beautiful!
