Sometimes it seems like it just happened and sometimes it seems like it has been years.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is amazing how much my perspective has changed over the last 2 years about life, accumulation of 'stuff', the importance of relationships and many other things.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Been trying to recreate my mom's homemade meals (with her flavor etc) as my dad wants what he is familiar with and is comforting to him. Do you know how much work a simple potato salad is??? Made one and dad wasn't impressed! Too much mustard, too "soupy", potatoes not cooked enough! My husband on the other hand LOVED it all. So this weekend I created one of my mom's meatloafs and am redeemed in my dad's eyes! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was my brothers birthday last weekend and I made him the deviled eggs he loves and those turned out perfectly..so I am two good, one not so good in dad's eyes! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year's fair is my first one knowing AHEAD of time that I am the Superintendent of the Hobby/Craft section. I have been getting a few calls here and there. We did add some categories and we have brought some from the State Fair categories, also changed up to highlight the techniques instead of the finished item (weaving instead of "woven basket").</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are interested in joining in the Josephine County Fair this year, here is the correct fair premium book and categories...Hope to see you all there! </div>

Well..not so much...haha @KimKlassen is an incredible instructor with a wealth of learned information from trial and error... and many items she shares and the classes are so reasonable doubt they even cover the time she takes but I have a feeling she is #notinitforthemoney but for the #socialfriendships she makes!

I am taking an ongoing workshop on learning to be still and use that in still life photography to express many themes and words. Today as I was prepping for the photos #MarleytheDivaCat decided she had to be in the middle of what I was doing. What cracks me up the most is that she gets in front of me then refuses to look at the camera! She is so much a diva!<br />

Learning how to compose these items is one of the hardest things in photography as there is never a "right" way to do so, however there are many "wrong" ways. You simply need to look at an image and feel it makes you feel off kilter, or find it odd in its mood, or simply just seems juvenile or nothing unique or special.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyLwcZsuhVIygkCrYgNBDNcDZrPptBgXowEXEXvm55TZCpvrQBHpbbGa2qSD_RPkvQibBVa6DWnKbJnXTqTqb0emwpvn6O4N5UQBledkeg5UKqtgfdynb3hMM0SvsTZzqNJtpxBpjagK8/s1600/new2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyLwcZsuhVIygkCrYgNBDNcDZrPptBgXowEXEXvm55TZCpvrQBHpbbGa2qSD_RPkvQibBVa6DWnKbJnXTqTqb0emwpvn6O4N5UQBledkeg5UKqtgfdynb3hMM0SvsTZzqNJtpxBpjagK8/s1600/new2.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
In the use of props many times you have to play with items in several situations taking multiple shots before you land upon one that seems like you have the ability to "enjoy" the image without trying to fix it or decide some way it can be done better.<br />
<br />
I started with these 3 items trying to get the idea about how things come together in my life from the life outdoors to the crafting indoors though a simple image to me in conveys a simple message of today, along with the texture of the table and background.<br />

We do know that it is heading in a good way but hard to see the end from the beginning. Right now I am simply "enjoying the journey" as a part of this week's prompt to trust the process. In class this has to do with learning how to express ourselves through photography but really it spills out into every area of our lives.<br />

Do we trust the process of the perfecting of our lives? Do we constantly nip at the pathway and wonder if it is worth the hassle it seems to create. Are we on a good path to being with that is able to be trusted? If you are on a path that leads to anything but to become more like Christ then we are not on a path that can be trusted.<br />
<br />
Many think they are simply standing still in life, but since life is always going forward if we are not going forward then we are sliding back.<br />
<br />
This image is the start of the morning. Many like coffee..I am not yet a coffee connoisseur but I do know my MOCHA! When I go to #dutchbros I ask for my drink to be "breve" which I guess means made with cream instead of milk. Less carbs for me is good.<br />

This image shows a portion of the process needed to make my morning mocho which I consume about 3 or 4 times a week. Sometimes it is sooo soothing to just sit relax and drink the warm liquid.<br />

Also applied a new preset they created. Its fun to play with someone else's ideas of image alterations and see how they work with your image.<br />
<br />
However the overall message was learning to have "room to breathe" in your life. A place away from all of the stress and activity by taking a walk or doing something that gets you out of the home and with room around you enjoying the space in your life.<br />

<br />
I have always liked this sentiment on this image "bloom where you are planted" though a very old one now it still says so much to what I, in my life, wish to do. The Bible says "whatever your hand finds to do, do it.." meaning do not wait for the perfect thing comes along before you start doing SOMETHING. If something is there and needs to be done, then do it. Don't pray on it, just do it. Not talking about some big spiritual mumbo jumbo event, I'm talking about taking the garbage out in the childrens church if you see it over flowing, I'm talking about dusting the counter in your workplace kitchen because it needs to be done instead of expecting someone else will get it done.<br />
<br />
If we cannot "bloom" we will not be trusted with any sort of transplanting. Why would you purchase and count on a plant that has never bloomed in their native environment to suddenly go through the shock of change and bloom? Unless its to move it to a more fertile environment (meaning an easier way to live) and wait until it really blooms before it can be put on the shelf for use.<br />
<br />
Wow didn't expect all of that to come out. Guess it was in there somewhere....my reflection is .... simply....bloom. Right here. Right now. Let your best colors show. Let your best foliage grow. Bloom. Click on the photo to get the best look.<br />

I have seen her grow in her abilities of art and now she teaches but for very little cost. I think her courses are probably 1/10 of the cost of someone who wants to make a large amount of money and CAN charge. She seems to have a mission to help others who are going along the same path as herself. If you would like to know more about her you can check her out<a href="http://kimklassen.com/" target="_blank"> here </a>.<br />
<br />
The course I am taking is more of an ongoing study in still life photography and still life in the real world...as in BEING STILL. It is called Be Still 52 and I am 5 weeks behind the curve as I didn't start it when it came out. Gladly excited to catch up. Here is my first weeks image. We did breathing exercises etc. and then took a photo of something that causes us to enjoy the stillness...<br />

We also did a private journal entry of our intentions for this class. It was private to us, and I do not have a journal just for this class YET so I did one that I don't mind sharing...using this same rose in my journal page...<br />

The Holiday Season is upon us, the first Show and sale is arriving just next weekend! At our monthly sellers meeting we will be discussing ideas on setting up booths for sales, or taking photos for selling etc. I have a board on Pinterest with many ideas you might enjoy looking at and getting some ideas.

Pretty cool huh? Learn something new every day. This had several ladles on it when I found it hiding at the sales price of only $35 in the October sale downtown. I LOVE it. It has the bar across as well as hooks. So far haven't found one with both online.<br />
<br />

Do we have any idea how fast our lives flash by? From moments that seem to hang on forever to years that we can hardly remember the beginning from the end our lives play out every day. Finding things that help us to live that life in better ways, with a closer walk with God and better relationships, a better use of our time by organizing, better use of our funds, and taking better care of our health.<br />
<br />
I love to use Pinterest to create Boards I have dubbed "BKS" or BEST KEPT SECRETS. These may not really have been secret but have been non accesible to us until the internet came into being and we are able to do so much research from our homes to help us with our life purpose and direction.<br />
<br />
This is one of the Boards I have that I go to a lot. I believe that God has prepared things in nature or within our own bodies that help us to heal or improve. This I call "home-eopathic" mostly meaning things we can do from home to help us on a daily basis in health situations.<br />
<br />

This is the link to my board and if you check it out and like it would you let me know what you think? Any there you hadn't seen before?<br />

Just this week I had to take time to reflect on the past and how much I love to learn new things, and how that alone has kept me going in times of great struggle and difficult times I am able to turn those into times of learning.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I believe if we ever stop learning, we really stop living. There is always some knowledge to be gained in every situation we encounter, things about ourselves, about God, about the universe as a whole, about our fellow man, about marriage and finances, about family dynamics, about the way people in diverse situations from you view life differently and why.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I believe myself to be open minded in a way that means I want to learn, though because of some of my beliefs others would call me closed minded. I seem to see they are the more closed minded because they do nothing to try to discover anything different than what they have decided is right and true or why someone would believe something different from them.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Learning about others beliefs do no diminish mine, sometimes they enhance them, sometimes they influence them, many times they just distinguish them. But I am open to information that is presented from sources I can trust and from people I know to be truthful and free from deception themselves. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is not a preaching post. I can do that anytime. This was about a discussion I had with a teacher 2 days ago who remembered me from being in his Algebra 2 class in 1979. We discussed how I love to still continue to learn and he said that was one reason he remembered me. He remembered those who really wanted to learn and that I was one of those students. Out of over 5000 students before and since it was nice to be remembered that way. We discussed many other things such as my desire to teach and share what I learn as well as discovering what is important in this life and what is not.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So even though this post does not do all of the things that people do to attract followers like the recent blog webinar I purchased and attended most of, it was what was on my heart to say today. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope you also continue to allow yourself to learn daily, like a child where everything is a discovery. When they discover how to roll over, or walk, or tie their shoes. All the way to learn how to give love without expecting something in return and receiving love without the need to feel obligated. </div>

I created a Christmas banner with printables...I printed all on cardstock. These are set up to all printo on 8 1/2 x 11 paper sideways. But if you want smaller you can adjust to your size. Here is my version with glitter added, vintage buttons on top and I strung it with ribbon through the buttons.... you are welcome to click on the image, then save for your own use if you would like to make one....</div>
