May Favorites

One finally post for the night…the past couple of months I have created pages that just list some of my favorite things for the month. This list will help me when I compose my mock christmas letter at the end of the year. It is mock because although I do write it I don’t ever send it out. Its more about wrapping up and recalling the year than it is about keeping everybody posted on my life happenings. I really write it to appease my guilt after I receive the anual christmas letter from and old friend of mine. I have to remind myself that my life is just as fabulous as hers, just different. So each month I try to think back about some of my favorites…events, cds, movies, etc. This is the page I created for May and I really loved the way it came out.

I glued a blank May calendar to the page then painted over it with watercolors. Next I added the magazine clipping of the flower. Finally I wrote in some favorites from the month like finally hearing Melissa Ethridge’s perfomance at the Grammys (stop my heart and make me pee my pants…it was that fabulous), my trip to Austin (I think I’m going to have to move there soon), the whole foods market in Austin (when I move the Austin that is where I’m going to live, I’m going to set up shop right in the produce section), Joss Stone (beautiful, soulful music), and the Garden State cd (absolute best cd I’ve purchased in a very long time, I can listen to it over and over all day and not get tired of it).

Now that I can post I can’t wait to get some more pages photographed and downloaded. I’ve completed the IRK prompt and I’m working on the WAIT AND SEE and TELL ME WHY prompts. More to come!
