How Weird Are You?

You Are 60% Weird
You're so weird, you think you're *totally* normal. Right?
But you wig out even the biggest of circus freaks!
How Weird Are You?

My New Project!!!


I am finally starting my new project. I am working on the Perspective album that Ali taught when she was in Hermiston. I did not take her class but have the homework information to do my own album. So I have been taking the 40 photo's that is required to make this album. Now I just need to put the pages together. I am doing the album all in pinks, thought that would make it more me.

Og Mandio

Og Mandino : Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

I just love this saying. Only if we call could live this way, the world truely would be a better place to live. Realy how hard is it to be Kind to a person. Not that hard!!

Relay For Life 2006!!!





Well this year was another good year for Relay we made our goal for Money of $100,000.00. At closing of event we had $100,847.40,. I am still in shock that we made goal. But I am like this every year though. Now the planning for 2007 will begin soon. Still not sure if I will be helping with that event in the same area or not, have not made up my mind at this time. I am sharing a some photo's from the opening of Relay on June 16th, 2006. Thank you to all the volunteers and to the survivors the reason that we do what we do. There is so much work and headach that goes into this Event but it is worth it when we see what this community can raise for a good cause. My reason to Relay is my mother and grandmother both breast cancer survivors.

Sharing

This was on Ali's new Happiness blog.
This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind... Let it be something good.

Thought that I would share it for toughs of you who may not read her blog (I'm sure most of you do though). I have been striving to take one day at a time and live my day to the fullest because you never know if it will be your last. I am trying to not to stress about the small stuff and enjoy life. I know that there are speed bumps in the road of life but as long as you know that they may appear from no where and slow down when you reach them you will continue your journey threw life.

{Ali}



This was a great weekend with Ali at the Daisy Bucket. I enjoyed my classes that I took. I am in love with the Favorite Photo's album that I made. I want to make another one. It was so fun talking with her and just hanging out. I am so in to the Life Artist thing and I am wanting to create the daily life happenings. Ali also brought Simon for all of to meet he is one cool dude. Here is some photo's of this changing experience.

Ali's Manifesto about being a LIFE ARTIST.So, life artist it is.So who is a life artist? Do you take photos of your family, yourself, your environment, your world? Do you tell stories? Do you bring them all together onto paper, into your computer, onto a canvas (or some other cool concoction)? Do you create art journals with all kinds of wonderfully interesting pieces of your life and thoughts and emotions? Do you celebrate your life through your art?You are a life artist.I am a life artist.(writen by Ali Edwards on her blog March 20th
