I love to start the day with a few giggles. I believe humor is an important part of a creative life. Here are some funnies that I have found lately. Hope you enjoy them!

I’m on the road right now so my mind is on documenting travels. A big part of the travel experience for me is food. Ok, a big part of everyday life for me is food! I do love to eat! When I plan our trips, I spend a lot of time reading restaurant reviews to find out the best local food.

I had some fun playing around with digital mixed media to create another 2 page spread for my in-progress art journaling photobook. I love the sewing theme of this one as I used to do quite a bit of sewing in my early motherhood days.

Well September… it’s time to say goodbye! This is the last day of the month and that means it’s a great time to answer a few quick questions and gather your memories. I love Roundup time!

I think it’s generally understood around here that I’m an app and technology junkie. I especially love the combination of tech + creativity and Adobe Spark is a great way to enjoy those two interests together. I’ve honestly been meaning to try Spark for ages and finally got around to it this week. It’s so easy to use and I can see many possibilities for future projects.

I set a goal for myself to create at least a few art journaling pieces each quarter and I’m so glad I made this a priority. This is a creative activity that I truly love and I enjoy every part of the process. I put it together as a 2 page spread for my in-progress art journaling photobook.

It just hit me last night that I better start planning a family photo session sometime soon. We always send out a photo card for our holiday greetings. This is something that my husband has always felt strongly about and I have to say I’m grateful to him for making me get myself in a family photo each year. There have been several times I tried to convince him that we could just use a picture of the kids and he wouldn’t have it. He is absolutely right on this and now it’s time again to try and get over my excuses and make this happen.

One of my favorite movies growing up was Mr. Mom with Michael Keaton. There is a funny scene in the movie that I still quote where Jacks says “keep that sense of humor, it’s critical” as a callback to something his boss said to him. I do believe it is critical to get through this life. I guess that’s why I love putting together these funny little posts!

I’ve always been a bookworm and I graduated from college with a degree in English. Words are something I collect, just like tangible possessions. I find quotes and sayings that inspire me and I feel like I have to have them in my life somewhere - even if only on a Pinterest board. Here are a few that I have fallen in love with lately:
