Font Titles

In Tiffany Tillman's TextFx class, the class is analyzing font structures. Oh the fun we are having.

Today was pick fonts to match celebrities.  Double click the layout to see why I chose these fonts.

Poem as Structure

In Amy Sorensen's "Write Now", the assignment was to write using a poem as a starting point. The basis of my poem is from Patricia Fargnoli's "Naming My Daughter".  The title of my work is still being tossed.  I enjoyed creating this.

Scrapbooking Fonts

Oh how I struggle with fonts.  Needed to come up with a list of my favorites for a class. I don't really think I have favorites per se. Mine are more the ones I use most often. Haven't found one that I just adore yet.  Here's my list.  What are your favorites?

Write Now!

Big Pictures Classes has changed me. The scrapbook, photography and journaling classes have improved the way I look at life and tell our stories through my layouts.

Currently, I am enrolled in Amy Sorensen's Write Now course. The focus is improving one's journaling. Each day, a writing prompt is sent. I thought it would be fun to share some of my writings with you.

The directions are to look at the prompt and think about it for one minute, trying only to focus on the topic and nothing else. Then, write for four full minutes and allow oneself to go where ever the imagination takes you. The process has been quite fascinating.

Today's Prompt is "Running Water" -

Ocean waves hitting the beach are peaceful. A rambling brook is peaceful. Waves lapping on the shores of Lake Michigan are peaceful. A running fountain in someone's backyard, a fountain in a doctor's office, the ones in people's houses that are supposed to be calming - they drive me crazy. My body just can not handle those supposed tranquil sounds. Those little monuments and artificial waterfalls make me want to pee. Immediately. And badly. I can not pee on demand. It does not help to run the water in the sink when I need to give a urine sample. But, walk into a room with a fountain, and, BOOM - I NEED to go!
