20 Little Things

Okay - this next project for the online class was a little bit more difficult to complete. The writing we did yesterday was a bit more difficult as we were supposed to write about ourselves. It would be interesting to do that same exercise again in a few weeks when I'm hopefully feeling better. I've been struggling a lot with some pretty intense pain for the last two weeks (I had a few days of feeling good - but the rest of the time it has sucked). One thing we do is a 15-20 minute free write - just pick a topic and write about it without worrying about organizing our thoughts or grammar, etc. Normally this wouldn't be hard - but to have to write about myself when I know and admit that I'm in a pretty dark, hopeless mood surely had an impact on what I wrote.

The other assignment was easier to write down as you just had to complete each of the following sentences:
•I am proud of my ability to…
•I am amazed by…
•I am blessed with…
•I am a sucker for…
•I am freaked out by…
•I am calmed by…
•I am always up for…
•I am ready to…
•I am excited by…
•I am baffled by…
•I am fascinated by…
•I am listening to…
•I am intrigued by…
•I am challenged by…
•I am extremely fond of…
•I am challenged by…
•I am wild about…
•I am tickled by…
•I am humbled by…
•I am honored by…
•I am amused by…

I then took four subjects from the above list and expanded on them so I had a list of five things for each = 20 small things.

The techniques used were cool to learn. Things like creating and saving a brush (.abr) file for use on other projects, creating circular text, creating art word layouts for things like titles and quotes.

Here's my take on the page. Once again, I used some papers from another kit I had (Echoes of Asia) from the Jessica Sprague website.
