Live
each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink,
taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

No
matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. ~ Proverb
The
finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits,
can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we
do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly. ~ Henry
David Thoreau
Hello
and hello!
Have
you ever started a project that ended up being way more
complicated than you thought? I got this wild idea that
I could set up a little online store so people could download
digital scrapbook designs. It sounded simple enough.
Then
I found out there were a million things that I had to figure
out first, like how to make the files, how to deliver them,
how to collect the money, well, everything! That part was
fun, though time consuming. I've sold some things which
was very exciting. Now comes the really challenging part,
making things to go in the store.
Here's
what I have so far...

But
the further that I've gone down this path the more that
I have discovered how much I need to learn. I'm such a noob.
I have some good friends help me. (Patricia and DBW, I'm
looking at you.) but I want to learn more.
So
what I'm asking is, if you think of anything that I need
to know or do, send me an email. Suggestions? Scrapbooky
things you'd really like to have but can't find. Tell me
what you like, your favorite color, a cool quote, your favorite
animal. If you know someone that is a scrapbooking fanatic
forward this email and ask them.
I'm
all ears.

thoughts,

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it
is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though
they were great and noble. The world is moved along,
not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also
by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.
~ Helen Keller
