Life and Labor Day


Hello everyone!  Today is Labor Day, one of those days off work for me, being able to spend some time creating is nice for me!  Reflecting on what I used to do in the past when I was a child, and thinking about how much it has all changed the past 10 years or so!  

I want to do something a bit different.....  For some things, you need a layout, others a mini album, and others a framed page!  For things like this, if you don't have a picture to go with your thoughts, then grab a notebook...alter it, and start to get your thoughts down at least!  You don't need to scrapbook everything!  

Life is about memories, making them and remembering them!   Life is also very short, and the older you get, time flies that much faster!  

Here is a challenge or two for you all:
  • What does Labor Day mean to you?  Is it the family get together's, or is it much deeper than that?  
  • Your life RIGHT NOW! What have you accomplished, not accomplished...are you better off than you thought you would be, or not so much?  Is it all you have asked for...or left little to be desired?  
I am going to make an altered notebook, and start to document the things in my past, as well as WHO I am in it!  When I get my notebook done, I will share with you the finished project, for now - I will share the above notebooks, in a new post!  I hope you join me in this journey the next little while!  You never know where it might lead us!

Thanks for stopping by,
Lynda, Memories in Tyme
