[UPDATE: I've been asked to post the text from my Life Lessons page; I'm putting it under the cut.]
... what I've been doing. While I've not been blogging. While I've not been writing.
Yesterday & Today, the scrapbooking class I've been taking from Ali Edwards, is winding down. This is the last week.
The most difficult assignment for me was this one – to take a picture of myself every day for a week, and do a layout using my own handwriting:

Template from Ali Edwards
Papers from onelittlebird, Shabby Princess, Reflective Scrapbooking, Honey Designs, Karla Dudley, Vera Lim.
Brads from Basic Grey, Anna Aspnes, Karla Dudley.
The "journaling" reads:
This week has been hedged in grief – my own, and all of Japan's. It felt odd to be smiling into mirrors during this time.
I have been reminded that pretending to be happier than I am works sometimes, if only briefly.
Looking at these images, I think: This woman looks familiar. I rarely see her. Does she resemble me? Do I know her?

This assignment was the most fun, to record my "life lessons":

And this one is where I began to feel that I can do something with this, beyond "scrapbooking":

Papers from Anna Aspnes, except for the lower right, which is from Ali Edwards.
From here, I have moved on to something else. More later.
