Beginnings...

i guess i love having a routine, except in summer when the travel bug hits me. But now gustavo is back at school and i want to get back to my calendaring & to-do lists. the start of a new school year symbolizes: new beginnings, fresh starts, goals to set and yes, more "me" time for reading, digi-scrapping and girl talk with judith over lunch.

here's a page i made about my son going back to school (10th grade) - i used one of the 2 shots i took while he was walking away... with no chance of him turning around and posing for the camera anymore!



here is the original photo:




talking about new beginnings, last week i took my niece to the university of richmond in virginia and helped her to get all the essentials to make her dorm comfortable - which means we headed to the nearest target and bed bath and beyond with the new college students list as soon as we landed.
i was happy to get to spend time with her and to know that in spite of being a bit scared of heading off to a scary world out there, she is not only excited but most important she has a brain focussed on why she is going there.

here is a photo and a page i made from that day.





last but not least, here are a few of my latest pages.
seems that i can not get away from white backgrounds - and believe me i have tried and on occasion i do use different colors. White just gives me a sense of order, cleanliness, freshness and encourages me to clear clutter form my layouts.
i read somewhere that the color white signifies and enables fresh beginnings - and that was what my post was about today.
