September iInspire ... a little late :)

It has been a long time since my last blog post. Life has been very, VERY busy! Since my last post I have stopped working, started working, stopped working again, had a massive spring clean getting rid of ALL of the unnecessary junk in my house, had a house inspection, finally moved house, and, last but not least, decorated my house for Christmas!
As each PLM prompt came out I put it into my word doc so that when I had time I could do my writing, made much easier with the new format. I managed to get each prompt written up how I wanted it, I just didn't manage to get the pages done. I considered just putting up my journalling, but I quickly decided that I would rather wait and have it done properly. I knew that if I took the short cut, the layouts would never get done. So it has taken me almost three months to catch up, but I am getting there. Here we go...


Prompt # 36 iInspire
To some degree or another, we all offer inspiration to others, and we are all inspired by other people as well as the world around us. Where do you find inspiration? Who inspires you? Who is your hero?
My page speaks for itself. I don't really have a hero, but I find inspiration EVERYWHERE!!
Prompt #36 iInspire


Prompt 37: Inspired by …
Dig back into the past and think back on your school days and family life. Name the people who inspired you (or just pick one person). What was inspiring about them? How did their example influence your life back then? What affect has it had on your current life?

Three of my many teachers from school who inspired me. I couldn't be more appreciative of your help and support through the years! Thank you!
Prompt #37 Inspired By...


Prompt 38: Discouraged
To be inspiring is to be uplifting, to be encouraging, to be energizing. It’s a positive word, and we all want to inspire others. But sometimes our best efforts fall short and we find that in our worst moments, instead of inspiring others, we’re discouraging them.
Share a moment when you discouraged instead of encouraged, and what that has taught you. Or share a time when you looked to someone for inspiration and encouragement, and received discouragement instead. Name a time when you felt intimidated or inferior — why did you feel this way? Do you still feel this way?
This page was difficult for me to complete because I had to put myself out there and admit a fairly major flaw. It's never easy to own up to something that you're not proud of, but doing this made me feel much better, and also made me very aware of my actions. Since this journaling it has been something on my mind all the time when I am talking to Melody. Of course there are things that you still have to discourage children from doing, for example using the extra sharp knives to chop her food... and there is a particularly good reason for it, lol! But now I let her help me take out the trash, I let her help me make her lunch, I let her do almost everything, and I just clean up any mess she makes. We have both been a lot happier since. 
Prompt #38 Discouraged



Prompt 39: If I could teach one thing …
If these were your final moments on earth — you had this last chance to inspire someone — what would you say? What would you teach them? What are the most important things you think they should know?

Something I have been owning up to a lot lately is being lazy, or procrastinating (to put it nicer). I have always known it, but never done anything about it, or even really admitted it. So again PLM has prompted me to make a change for the better! 
Prompt #39 If I Could Teach One Thing



And there you have it. September and iInspire, all caught up =D Join me next time (not sure when) for iCherish.
Keep safe,
Chippi

Prompt #34 Renewing Me

Prompt #34 Renewing Me
Focus on you. What one activity do you want to add to your life (or perhaps delete from life) so that you can feel more relaxed? What will you do each week for yourself to find renewal, to rejuvenate? Make a commitment to YOU and your sanity & peace.
As soon as I read this prompt I knew what this page would be about, I knew how I wanted to lay it out, and I knew that I wanted it to coordinate with the previous page and become calm. But I wanted pictures... So I had to start doing my renewing! To get pictures of me walking I had to get off my bum and start walking. I walk Melody to and from preschool, and try to get walks in on the other days. I am loving it, and I can already see the benefits!
Prompt #34 Renewing Me

Prompt #33 Stressed Out

Prompt #33 Stressed Out
Stress keeps us from being relaxed … prevents us from feeling renewed and rejuvenated. What current stresses do you have in your life? What really stresses you out? What are your pet peeves?
I am a real stresser, so this page was easy! ... Well in some ways it was hard because I get frustrated by SO many things, they would never have all fit!! So I have put the more common things, the more frustrating things, the funnier things.
On a scrapping note, I had a lot of trouble embellishing this page. I'm not sure if it is because of the busy background or what but nothing I added to it felt right, and having none felt bare. In the end I just made the heading bigger to fall off the journal box... but still not sure about it...

Prompt #32 When Life Was Slower

Prompt # 32: When Life Was Slower
Nowadays we seem to be constantly on the move … everything is go, go, go … everything is faster. But not too long ago life moved at a slower pace, like a summer afternoon. We had more time for ourselves. What do you remember about the pace of life when you were a kid? What forms of recreation did you participate in? What activities fulfilled you and brought joy to your soul?
Sometimes I wish that I still lived on the land. The environment is so peaceful, so quiet. There is no-one for miles! However, being close to shops, doctors and other amenities is a great thing, and I can survive living in town if I think about those bonuses. So I will just sit back and remember the good old days.
Prompt #32

Prompt #31 iRenew

Prompt #31 iRenew
We all need a little down time, a bit of rest & relaxation to renew our souls. What do you do to relax? What activities rejuvenate you? How do you find renewal after a stressful day or week?
The things I do to relax are very unique. Sometimes I don't even understand, myself, how I can be more relaxed after these activities. What can I say? I am my very own person!
Prompt #31

Prompt #30 Celebrating YOU

Prompt #30: Celebrating YOU
It’s important to not only celebrate life’s grand events, but also the day-to-day experiences, however small. What would you like to start celebrating in your life? Are there any new traditions you want to try? What can you do to celebrate YOU every week?

These are some very rare pictures of Melody and Me, I have absolutely loved scrapping with them. It is amazing how many times the Project Prompts coincide with recent photos.
Prompt #30 Celebrating YOU

Prompt #29 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Prompt #29: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Often we focus our celebrations on the happy events in our lives — birthdays, marriages, anniversaries, graduations, new arrivals. Let’s flip that and celebrate a not-so-pleasant event that made you stronger. Our experiences may seem ugly on the surface, but they’re beautiful schools for our learning. What have you learned from these experiences in your life? How can you celebrate what happened to you?

It wasn't until I did this Prompt that I really understood why Pop wanted a Celebration, not a funeral. He touched so many lives, and his Memorial Service was a beautiful day of stories, pictures and laughing (as well as crying).
Prompt #29 Good, Bad, Ugly

Prompt #27 iCelebrate

Prompt #27: iCelebrate
Celebrations are some of the most joyful times of our lives. Why do you celebrate? What does that word mean to you? What do you do to celebrate YOU?

I'm so proud of my little girl, I could scrap about her all day! ... Well actually, she is most of what I scrap about =D
Prompt #27 iCelebrate

Prompt #28 Traditions

Prompt #28: Traditions
Celebrations can be one-time only events, but often they are annual, semi-annual, monthly, or weekly traditions. Share some of your favorite traditions from when you were a child, or traditions you’ve carried over into your family.

Prompt #25 Your Creative Future

Prompt #25: Your Creative Future
You are a powerful creator. Why do you create? What compels you to create? What do you want to create more of in your life? If nothing was stopping you and no one was in your way, how would you choose to express your creativity?

Oh what I would do if I had as much time as I wanted to for craft!!
Prompt #25 Creative Future

Prompt #24 Creative Blocks

Prompt #24: Creative Blocks
The opposite of creation & building is destruction & destroying. But it is also the absence of creation. What do you do in your life to sabotage your creation? What stifles your creativity? What causes your creative blocks? Tell us about what keeps you from creating. Or simply share about an unfinished project & why you haven’t yet completed it.



I did this page this morning, it has been the one I've struggled with this month. I started it almost as soon as I got up, and I had a look at the clock when I was finished, it took me more than three hours to do this page!! Even though I tried to keep it simple to see if I could do a page quickly. But the border took SO long. I just wanted it to be a random assortment of elements cut into a border. But I couldn't be random, they all had to look right and not have too many similar bits next to each other. It is so frustrating, definitely my creative block :P
Prompt #24 Creative Blocks

Prompt #23: My Creative Past

Prompt #23: Your Creative Past
Share at least one thing you’ve created in your life — a child, a space, a project. Tell us about your creation, what you love about it, why you created it.

I wasn't sure what I was going to do for this page. I didn't know if I should do another Melody page, because she is my greatest creation, or something else because I have SO many Melody pages. I thought of what might be my next favourite creation. I am so proud of my "Arlia Album" because it was the very first album I completed. Lots of time and effort went in to it, and the end result was nothing but gorgeous!!
Prompt #23 My Creative Past

Prompt #22: iCreate

Prompt #22: iCreate
Some people think creativity is reserved for only the artists, writers, & musicians among us — but we are all creators. What are you creating in your life? Try finishing the sentence “I am a creator of …” or perhaps “I create …” Tell us about your creations and how creativity is expressed in your life.



I had a go at a Wordie for this one.. but I couldn't think of any more words haha!

Prompt #21: Future Growth

Here is Prompt #21 for Project: Love, Me
Welcome to our last week of iGrow!
As you look to the future, what plans do you have for self-improvement in the coming year? 5 years? What’s one thing you really want to learn? How are you going to accomplish that goal? What would you share with future generations about personal growth?

Not much to say about this week's page, it is fairly self explanatory, and I have to be awake in six hours for work (Yikes!) I have really enjoyed iGrow, it has been a real eye opener. Can't wait for next month, iCreate. Sounds like fun.

Prompt #20 - Stumbling Blocks

This week is Prompt #20 - Stumbling Blocks
Welcome to week 3 of exploring our theme, iGrow, where we take a look at the flip-side. Are you ready?
What are your biggest stumbling blocks to personal growth? Your vices? What things seem to always prevent you from moving forward? What’s that one trait or quality you keep seeking that keeps eluding you? What have you learned from these experiences?
This week was easy for me in the way of identifying what holds me back... but it wasn't easy putting it out there. My laziness is something I hide well, because instead of using time management for things like studying or cleaning, I do it right before it desperately needs to be done. The difficult part was that I didn't know how I was going to overcome my issue. And then... I saw this post from Suzy Q Scraps this morning, The 15-Minute Rule, and it fit perfectly! It is starting to really freak me out that these prompt's always seem to come at a time when I need them, and then this 15-minute Rule... the universe is speaking loudly!

Prompt #19 - Lessons Learned

This week was Prompt #19 - Lessons Learned
Welcome to week two in our iGrow series!!  Last week we discussed our journey of self-improvement — why we want to improve, what we’re working on improving, what activities we engage in for self-improvement. Let’s take a look at the past and reflect on our experiences. What experiences have taught you the most? What lessons have you learned? How has that helped you grow in your life?
This week I took a dive in the deep end, and found myself stuck. I wanted to create an inspiring page full of deep and meaningful thoughts... and I just kept blabbering on about things that, when I read over them, didn't make any more sense than a carnivorous cow. So I stopped, left it a couple of days and then went back to basics. I haven't had too many "experiences" that have taught me lessons, just lots of little things, lots of common sense and LOTS of movies and music... and Project: Love, Me! So this is my page about lessons I've learned and how I've learned them.

Prompt #18 iGrow

This weeks prompt was iGrow
With spring in the air and new life abounding, I find myself reflecting on my own personal growth. I think most of us strive to learn and grow and progress, becoming better today than we were yesterday, and better next year than we were last year. Let’s delve into personal growth. What does that look like in your life? What are you working to improve? Why are you on a journey of personal improvement?
I loved this weeks prompt, it came at a great time for me. I have been needing a push in all three areas I talk about on my page. It helped me think about these three things, and I am now more determined to grow!!

Prompt #18 iGrow

Thursday, April 28, 2011

This week was a Bonus Prompt, combining ideas from the previous topics:
Thomas Dreier said, “The life each of us lives is the life within the limits of our own thinking. To have life more abundant, we must think in limitless terms of abundance.” Or put another way by Norman Vincent Peale, “Change your thoughts and you change your world.” We all have thoughts, dreams, desires. If our thoughts become our reality, then how would you change your thoughts to become the reality you really want? If everything you wanted and dreamed about were possible, what would your life look like?
So my page is about my life in my dreams. My dream life is a life with no worries, no stress, it's all goooood. But my dream life isn't too far from a reality, it is something we will have to work very hard for, but it is all possible!

Prompt #15 Loss & Prompt #16 Before I Die...

Here are the topics for the last two weeks.
Prompt #15 Loss
This week, we’re looking at the flip-side of “Life”.  Losing the people we love is one of the hardest and most painful things we will ever endure during our lives.  There are so many ways to complete the challenge this week.  You can focus on a specific loved one who you’ve lost, focus on how you’ve dealt with loss in the past or take a more philosophical approach and discuss your personal belief system.  This can be anything you want and whatever is the most comfortable to you.
Prompt #16 Before I Die...
We each have a gift right now — life. What are you going to do with it? Make a bucket list of at least 10 things you want to do or accomplish before you die. Feel free to add more if you’d like (or less too). Anything goes with this — from the small to the big, from the seeming inconsequential to the totally life-changing.


This fortnight I did something different... I couldn't find the right words for Prompt #15 Loss, but I didn't want to skip that page, I felt like that would be an insult to my grandparents memory. So I did a page, but it wasn't finished. Then we came to Prompt #16 Before I Die... and I had an idea. Put the two together, so here is my page for #15 and #16: 
Prompt #15 Loss #16 Before I die
It was funny after I was finished I was re-reading and I couldn't figure out why the title seemed like perfectly formed words... Then I remembered, one of my favourite books is called "While I Live..." so thanks John Marsden :P Your words fit perfectly.

Prompt #14 iLive Flashback

Hey, hey,
This week we are taking a look at our lives when we were kids. Here is Prompt #14:
Let’s take a peek back in time — what was life like when you were a kid? What games did you play? What did you learn in school? Where did you live? How much did you earn for an allowance or baby-sitting or doing other odd jobs? How much did stuff cost? What did you live for — what was most important to you back then?
Not much to say about this one, it is fairly self-explanatory. Hope you like it!

Prompt #13 - iLive

Hi hi,
This months theme is iLive. Here is Prompt #13:
This week, we’re going to take some time to look at how we live our lives- all the little things that make up our days.  What does a typical day look like for you right now? What do you do every day to remember to  to live for today?
This prompt, to start with, was easy for me. I knew exactly what my page was going to be about, my old life and my new life. But I couldn't figure out how to present it... Did I want to half my page and show the simple life vs the chaos, but that might get confusing as to which life I prefer. Should I do a word and photo collage about my lives. I had a few more ideas, but none of them felt right. I wanted to show how simple my life was, but also show that it wasn't a great life, not compared to my life now. It was a lazy life, a boring life, I'm not exactly proud of it. And I wanted to show that even though my life was so busy now, I love it so much more. So I decided to put the comparison timeline, and write a bit about both of my lives. Here it is:

Prompt #12: Words of Wisdom

So I hope we are all still laughing. This week's prompt brings iLaugh to a close with some words of wisdom:
Prompt #12: Words of Wisdom
It’s time to share some of your wisdom! What advice would you give to future generations about laughing? What has laughing brought to your own life that you’d like to pass on to others? How would you encourage them to laugh every day?
I spent a long time this week just thinking about what I could say. All I kept coming back to was Mary Poppins and "I Love To Laugh". So that's what I went with. I love laughing, so it was nice to encourage laughter in people's lives.
Next month is iLive, and I can't wait. The kit looks like it will be gorgeous!!

Prompt #11 - [Insert Sad Face]

This week over at Project: Love, Me we look at the flip side of laughter,
Here is Prompt #11:

Life isn’t always sunshine and happiness.  In the words of  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,  “Into each life some rain must fall”.  Sometimes we are sad, angry, maybe even a little depressed.  Even though this might not be the face we show the world, these feelings are still a big part of who we are.   Let’s delve into the “flip side” of laughter … share a story of a time when you were down or upset.  How do you deal with these feelings?  Do they inspire change in your life?  Do you hide them from others or look to others to help you through them?
This week's prompt came at the most perfect time for me. It helped me explore my current dilemma of needing to choose between my passion for teaching and the want to be home with my daughter. If the prompt hadn't come up this week, I probably would still be bottling this up and going out of my mind.
Here is my layout for this week.

Prompt #10 - Something Funny

Hey everyone, here is this week's prompt:
Prompt #10 - Something Funny
Tell us a funny story … maybe it’s something funny that happened to YOU in the distant or not-so-distant past. Or maybe it’s a funny event that involved you indirectly but still brings a smile to your face. Does it still make you laugh when you remember this story? What made it funny then? Why is it funny now? Why is it a memory you want to remember?
Now I have a lot of trouble remembering the actual funny event after it has happened. I remember the laughing and the sore stomach and the tears, but I have trouble with the actual details of why we were laughing! But this funny story with stay in my mind for a long time! Especially Melody's reaction to her crazy uncle!
Just don't anyone tell my brother that it's here, I promised these photos would never come out for people to see!! Hehee!
Hope you like it, and I will see you next with my layout for prompt #11

Prompt #9 - iLaugh

HAHA HAHA HA
This month is iLaugh, over at Project: Love, Me
The first prompt was this:
"Laughter & smiles seem to transcend all races and cultures … no matter who we are or where we come from, laughing & smiling can be understood even when we don’t speak the same language. But the reasons we laugh … those vary from individual to individual. So what makes you laugh? What always brings a smile to your face and a giggle to your lips? What makes you laugh even on a bad day?"
How good is laughing :P This month looks like it will be a happy month full of fun pages and stories to laugh at!
So, this is my page of things that make me laugh. From full on laughs to those ones that start in my belly and make me snort, all these things never fail to crack me up.
Have fun this month and LAUGH a lot!

Prompt #8 - Love is...

Wow! I can't believe another month is almost gone... only one week left of February! I can't wait for next month's theme, iLaugh!
This week was Prompt #8, Love is...
"Now that we’ve looked at what and how we love, we’re going to look at what love means to us.  For this prompt, let’s finish the sentence “Love is [fill in the blank].”  You can define love or describe love … ex. Love is [you] or Love is [beautiful].  Based on all your experiences with love — both good and bad — what have you learned?  Can you sum it up with one word or two words?"
The two things I love most in this world are my husband and my daughter. My page is about how my daughter is the greatest example of love I have ever seen. She makes you feel so wonderful with every little thing she does. It might be a few more than two words, but it is a lot shorter than it was, I was babbling!
I hope you like my page, next time I see you it might be time for Laughing!

Hi All.
This week's prompt was the flip side of love, broken hearts.
Here it is:
It’s time now to consider “the flip side” of love. Tell us about your broken heart. We’ve all had them … :( Something or someone that crushed you. It doesn’t have to be a story about a break up — it could also be something you really wanted and never got. How did you cope? What did you learn? Did anything positive come from it?
I haven't got much more to say than what's written on my scrap page this week. This one made me think, and I hope when Tanya reads this she knows how sorry I am for everything that happened from my end.
Catch you next week.

Prompt #6 - First Love

Good morning!
First of all I want to thank the girls at Project: Love, Me. You have helped bring our family back together. Myself and my two sisters-in-law are doing the project, and we haven't spoken in quite a while, our family fell apart because of a lack of communication. But doing this project has made us start talking to each other, and we are slowly but surely repairing the damage we did to each other. I am so grateful to this project, I have gotten my sisters back!
So, I have had a great week, the Royal Rumble at the beginning of the week, beach day yesterday, Melody is all better, so no more sleepless nights for a while. Overall a good week.
This week was Prompt #6 - First Love
Now that we’ve covered what we love today, let’s look back at our first loves!  Who or what was your first love?  Tell us about it!  What attracted you to your first love?  What did you love most about it?  How did your first love come to be?
I had lots of fun with this page, I hope it makes my hubby laugh when he reads it, and it got me reading my favourite books again.

Prompt #5 - iLove

Hi everyone.
Well it has been a long week... Melody has been sick ALL week, and we have also found out that she may be lactose intolerant, we just have to wait for the test results. Jamie has also been sick for the last day or so, so I am very tired and I am crossing my fingers that I don't catch this bug too.
I did have some great news though. I was the "Random Pick of the Week" for Project: Love, Me for my words of wisdom page.
This week was Prompt #5 - iLove
"Who and what we love speaks more to who we are as women than probably anything else. Tell us not only what you love but why and how you love. Let’s get gushy and mushy — and hey, if that’s not your thing, then tell us that too!"
The hardest thing about this page for me was trying not to ramble on. I love my little family more than anything in the world, even cookies and cream ice-cream! (Shocker, I know!!) There are not enough words in the English language to explain how much they make me whole. They are the two pieces of my heart.

Catching Up > Prompt #3 - The Flip Side

Hey guys,
Here is my page for Prompt #3 - The Flip Side
Dreams Unrealized
Scrap a layout about a dream that for one reason or another will never come true. What was your dream and why have you given it up?  How do you feel about that?  What have you learned through the process of not realizing this dream?
I felt a bit funny when I first read this prompt. Of course I have had disappointment in my life, who hasn't, but I figured out that I don't really have any unrealised dreams. It made me so sad to read of women who had dreamed of having babies, and couldn't. It was then that I realised how lucky I have been so far. So my page is more of a dreams that I don't think will come true, but there is still a chance. This prompt has really opened my eyes and shown me that I still have these opportunities, so I had better not waste them!
Edit: Same words, but no pictures, started from scratch using Project: Love, Me kit

What were your dreams when you were younger? What did you used to dream about — whether it came true or not? What was important to you when you were growing up? Where did you think your life would take you?
Focus on one specific dream, or share several. Pick a specific time period — childhood, teenager, young adult, etc. — or share a dream from each.
I enjoyed this one, I got to write down my love story! Not a lot of people knew the story behind Jamie and Me, and I am happy to be sharing it now.

Your dreams and hopes can tell us so much about who you are and what is important to you. This week we will focus on your current dream(s). It can be anything- big or small. Tell us why it’s your dream- is it because it will make your life easier and give you more time, it’s something you always wanted to do or will help you be the person you want to be or just because it will fulfill you? Have you taken any steps to realize your dream?

Prompt #4 Dreams - Words of Wisdom

I have skipped ahead to Prompt #4 - Words of Wisdom, because I want to start keeping up with the crowd. I will go back to the others after this one is done.
This week the prompt was this:
"What dreams do you have for you loved ones? Do you have a message you’d want to share with them about pursuing dreams, re-visiting dreams or letting dreams go? What have you learned in your life about the role dreams can play in your life?"
My dream for my daughter is simple. I just want her to be as awesome as she is now! =D
Edit: Same page, same photo, just using the Project: Love, Me bits instead

This is my Pre-Prompt for Project: Love, Me


We were asked:
"So why are you completing the project? Is it for you, or for someone else, or both? What do you hope to gain from the project at the end of the 52 weeks? Do you think it will make a difference in your life? How?"


It's only.. what.. 3 weeks late =D but it's better late than never, haha!!
Unfortunately I haven't been able to purchase the gorgeous kit that goes with this months theme, but hopefully next month I can..


I have a feeling that this project is going to be an eye opener!!


Keep Safe,

Project: Love, Me in 2011

Hey Everyone!!


You will have to excuse me, I am BRAND NEW to blogging, so things might be a bit jumbled until I get the hang of it =D


This year I am embarking on something I have never done before. Something in which I will have to be completely honest with myself. Something that will show my family, my friends, and even myself, the person that I really am.
I am totally scared and completely excited to be having a go at "Project: Love, Me" this year. 
Thank you to Suzy (SuzyQ Scraps) and Kami (Ziggle Designs) for coming up with this fantastic idea for us all to try.


To see more and to maybe start this journey yourself,

I am not the creator of "Project: Love, Me" and I am in no way trying to take any credit away from those creators. I am simply a huge fan of their work!!
