OK my perfectionistic traits have gotten the better of me and I had to re post this after I realized that I had written um 2003 not 2009 as the journal date. I have to stop scrapping so late at night lol
I used SNU Collage Art for the back ground
SNU Collage Art Alpha for the title letters with the exception of the H that comes from SNU A Waltz To Remember
Here's the journaling
It Reads:
Whoopee! A day off. Time alone in the comfort of my house dressed in old jeans and a sweat shirt. It is easy to convince myself that I deserve this. A half hour on the computer turns into an hour and a half. I even added a photo avatar to my profile on the scrap girl message board. I so love scrapbooking! I suppose I could reprimand myself about how much time I spend on the computer ... how much money I spend in the boutique because there is so much I should be doing. But I do
believe that scrapbooking is good for me. Striving to take a picture a day as part of the SG52 challenge has made me observe things more closely. I look at that developing 8X8 scrapbook ...I hold it in my hand … read and reread the pages. My life looks ... not bad in pictures. I feel grateful. I am among those who worry about technology and how it changes us. My grand kids all crave time on the computer. Jacqueline at 12 is already on Face Book...Tommy an introvert prefers his play station over group play ... is it good for them? Then I do the same hanging out on the message board ... checking it daily ... well sometimes more than once a day. Bad example? Just another form of procrastination? How can connecting with people be bad? These girls share their faith ... share prayers with me when I need. They challenge me to be creative. There was a time I didn’t think I was “creative.” I know it distracts me sometimes ... this scrapbooking ... certainly I could pay more attention to my housekeeping or the upcoming presentation I am going to do on “Dual Diagnosis”. But I can’t say it is bad and I ‘m glad I discovered it.
