Starting to 'explore'

So, about 8 weeks ago I signed up for a new Shimelle class.

We were travelling still in the first week, so I knew that it was unlikely that I would be up to date with the class...  What I wasn't really expecting was to be so short on mojo for so long that I would miss the 'live run' of the class all together...  But, that's what happened...

Over the last couple of weeks I've ordered a bunch of photos to try to kick myself back into action.  Well this weekend it worked - I managed to get together 3 canvases that I wanted to hang in the apartment:




The middle one ended up lenthways (without the small photos) instead of across but I didn't take another photo.

Then I managed to work through 4 of the explore prompts yesterday.  Here's my playbook:

I managed to take my self portrait - just before I started working through the prompts actually when I came home from having a new haircut (a good Swedish hairdresser experience for a change!!) - it's a kind of weird shot, but I was ok with that...


I don't have a printer at home, so it will have to wait until the next time I order prints to go into the book. And, I wrote my note to self (only have a shot of half of it for some reason:

  
Next up, was mapping it out.  A shot of all the maps I spread on my desk:


And my page with some map pieces and circle:


And lastly the most 'perfect' part of my life - and no, it's not strictly SO, but the way we live and work and travel and play together so well:


Then, I felt like some 'freestyle' scrapping - so yesterday afternoon and this afternoon got these layouts complete:




So - hopefully the mojo's back and next weekend will bring some more creativity...
