Fort McKavett!
Texas Paranormal Research 101 weekend was amazing! The fort is beautiful, and very active with paranormal activity. I loved seeing my recently made friends and meeting a few more too! The weekend in photos:
The Bakery
The Dead House. Paranormal stuff REALLY happens here.

Urban Anthology--Challenge 3--Go Green!
I am anxiously awaiting the next challenge at Urban Anthology. Do you scrapbook the green way? This challenge was all about reusing, recycling, and reducing! My layout has a LOT of reused elements. Can you say "tear apart the old Anniversary album after getting a divorce"? haha Its great therapy. For my wedding gift to my ex-husband I made us an anniversary book. One layout for each of the next 25 years. I pulled off all the embellishments and many are reused on this page.
I also used up some paints I would have thrown out anyway...before my very likely move to DALLAS!! More on that later. :)

Funny for Monday
On a more serious note, I love to listen to Hay House Radio. Lately, I've been in a 'funk", but I listen to hay house o get out of the funk...I'm working on focussing on the "other ways" I can think about the negative things in my life (the more positive ways.) Directing thoughts can make a difference. How about you? Is there anything you can think about differently? Have a happy Monday!
