3 Wishes . . . to Wish to be Remarkable

Tin says KAYA!

Sheryl's challenge got me thinking and helped me realize what I would like to achieve for 2008. One of which is since i've missed so much Kaya LO's that one of my resolutions is to make up for it :-) hehe




Journalling:

There is nothing as common-place as to WISH to be REMARKABLE
--- William Shakespeare

#1: FOCUS: on my kids, to consistently read to Josh, to make sure Ienne is ready for college (boys and all! *gulp*!), focus on my Asanas, and despite of my conked knee to find a sport and stick to it, to finish my online photography course, reinstate family game night and to be organized.

#2: DISCOVER: re-learn old loves like playing the piano, guitar and the drums again, driving AGAIN despite the traffic, explore Bohol and Vietnam, to learn pottery, to ride rapids, to find joy in the simplest and even mundane things.

#3: ENJOY: 2007 seemed so fleeting, I guess because i'm always rushing. This year I have to remember to just stop and enjoy the moment.

Materials Used:
Paper -- WRM Promenade-Dreams, Hambly Chic Circles-Pink, Rusty Pickle Tag Set, Creative Imaginations-Blue Floral
Alphas -- Amer
ican Crafts Hatbox Chipboard, K&Co K-ology Hannah Alphabet, Dymo labels
Stamps -- Bampop Pop Font Numbers
Embellishments -- Darice beads, Art wire, K&Co. Brenda Walton BW Maison Adhesive Rhinestones, assorted ribbons and fibers
Pens and Ink -- Stazon Jet Black, Micron 08 Black, Aqualip Black, Zig Millenium Blue

Techniques Used:
- edited in photoshop; made several copies and layered them one on top of the other
- layered papers
- traced on my background paper with Aqualip and slightly smudged it while it was still wet

About Me:
I'm a single mom of DD 17 and DS 7, the three of us have a weird age gap but then again funny how things work out (i'm 34, do the math :-).

I love the new year, just as much as I love mondays or the day after, it's always a chance to start all over again, to do something good and worthwhile.

Here's to 2008 my dear PSers :-) And speaking of wishes, I hope this year brings an abundance of creativity and endless friendships!

Tin, as always, I am in awe of your work! I love all your wishes and how you expounded on three very basic principles.

Yep, here's to living in the moment. 2007 passed by so fast for me too. Maybe because I was busy with the wrong priorities.

Thanks for always being such an inspiration. P.S. LOVE STUDIO AZUL! Yeba! =)
