Passion.

Journaling has become a passion of mine recently, I didn't even think I would finish it and I'm so happy I did!  I just started my second book, this one is a smash book, and I'm using my own designs to complement the pages.  There have been so many inspiring things lately, it's been hard to take it all in. Joanns had an amazing sale on all scrap booking supplies last week. Some of my great finds were die-cuts from Smash book and Amy Tangerine. The discounts were so great I ended up going back twice to rummage the shelves for more hidden gems. The end result has been two great journal pages. The to see how my life will shape the rest of this journal.

Around this time of year, when the weather starts getting cool and the air is crisp, Mack takes a vacation to Tennessee. Last year I had the amazing opportunity of going with him, however this year we have planned a family trip and have to postpone this one until early 2013. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite photos from last year in hopes you'll remember we all need and deserve a special vacation.
