In January, I decided to start eating healthier and "move" more. The result has been 20 pounds lighter! Oh how I miss some of that unhealthy food but I am excited about the weight lost! Since I am not looking at this as a DIET, it has been rather easy. Getting harder as I inch my way down to my goal weight. Whatever that will be.
Last Fall I started digging deeper into my family history. Have always wanted to create something, but really just never took the time. I won't lie - it's very time consuming and labor intensive if you want to do it right. But that can be the fun of it! And thinking about it as a puzzle. Right now I am concentrating on gathering all the information from the census and scanning the many pictures I have. But not just scanning, documenting them in a spreadsheet so future generations know who they are and what the picture was about (if I have that information).
Another project that is an ever on going project, is my scrapbooking. Whether it's either digital or paper, it has fallen behind. So this year, I have been trying to schedule some time with my friends to get together and complete a few pages each month. Page by page it will get done!
During the winter, I found time to take some mini photowalks to keep up with my photography. But since I have been back to my Phoenix home, I have not picked up the camera. So with that in mind, I need to figure out how to get that back into my schedule. I am missing it. Since it's so hot outside, maybe I will try my hand at some "still life" images that I can finish off in photoshop.
Speaking of photoshop, I dearly love creating art with that program. Since a fun thing to do. I continually watch videos to learn new techniques that I can use. Here are a few of my pieces.
And of course I try to spend time with my nephews whom I dearly love.
Well that pretty much sums up what I have been up to. Until next time......
