Remembering what you love

I wish I could remember which blog or web page I had read this on, but somewhere I saw a post that recommended photographing what you want to remember. So many of my pics are of what I think I should be photographing, like beautiful scenery or a special event. And that is important to document, too, I think. But that piece of advice really rang true with me and so I'm trying to incorporate it into my thinking when I reach for my camera. What do I want to remember in this moment? I took this photo of Poochie's back paw because it is something I want to remember of him. Several of our dogs do this, lie with their back legs stretched straight out in back of them, looking like turkey drumsticks. Poochie is different because his legs are so short. You can hardly see leg for his body. So this is Poochie's paw- I will remember it always.

I had a creative spurt over the weekend. I've decided that I'm going to try clustering my card making, to the best of my ability, into a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. When I try to make them during the week I feel rushed for time. When I set aside time on the weekend, though, I open myself up to try more things and embellish with more relish. ;) The luxury of time fuels my creativity, I guess. Two Mother's Day cards (for my mom and MIL) and a card for a PTI RAK friend in MI. Her first name is the same as my sister's, spelled the same too which is unusual. The idea for the dragonfly card came from Nichole's post. Her work is just exquisite and is such an inspiration for me.
