Get Meaningful

Lesson 24 - Dear...

Writing letters is one of the oldest forms of communication.  This lesson is about using a letter as part of your project.  Its a great way to put a new angle on your journaling and can encourage you to capture a story you might not have otherwise.  

Your letter can be to someone real or imaginary.  It can be serious or silly.  The point is to record a memory!

Journaling reads: I have always wanted to know where you got the strength to pick up and carry on after you lost two children and your husband within-all within 10 years.  Then by the time you were 46 you were a window for a second time.  One thing that I have always been very fascinated with is your choice in clothes-even forty years later they have been replicated-they are timeless and classic.  I love them!  Although you are gone, you are still one who captures my attention every time there is something published about you.  Sincerely, Carla

Lesson 23 - I wish...

We all wish and want.  

For little things, for big things.  

For selfish things, for things for others.  

For thing of great value and things of little value.  

Some wishes could change our entire life, while others would be forgotten almost as soon as they are granted.  

Think about the things you wish for  and let that inspire you.  You can create a page about a wish, a page about how you wish your life was like right now, or even just a page about what your wishes SAY about you.

Take a look at the great projects created by the team this week!

Lesson 22 - Something Cherished

Most of us surround ourselves with objects... from mundane everyday items to those special keepsakes we can't stand to part with.  This week I want to you reflect of the objects around you and document at least one item that holds meaning for you!  

While I did my layout on just one object, I plan to create a mini later dedicated to my most cherished possessions, like my baby blanket, the dress I came home from the hospital in, etc.   Check out the layouts from Mara and me :)  Since I am in the process of expanding the DT I promise more samples for the next lesson!

Journaling reads:

This photo was taken in 1972 at my mom's baby shower. My dad is holding my very first bear. He has fur that's almost real and he used to growl when you moved him. Now bear is too fragile to cuddle with and only grunts if you shake him really hard. I still cherish him and the memories of his better days.

New Design Team Members

First I want to thank everyone that applied!  I had more submissions than I could possibly use - which I was honored by and stressed by because choosing was hard!  I will be looking to refresh the team in the spring and to possibly do some guest design team spots, so I hope you will all keep checking in!

The new team members are:

They are joining the small but fabulous team already working hard on samples for each lesson!  This all means MORE great examples to help inspire you to scrap about those memories that are meaningful to you!
