New Class with Shimelle -- Explore -- Day 1



I resisted taking this class for about a minute! I love taking Shimelle's classes even though I have several that aren't yet finished. I will finished them--just not right now.

Anyway, in this class I am exploring the summer in Chalfont. I live in such a sweet little town that it deserves further exploration. For the first class, I designed the cover I'm using for playbook. Since my Bind-it-All is already packed away in preparation for our move, I've used binder rings to hold the playbook together.


It's a bit plain but that's because all my scrapping papers and stuff are also packed! I will probably be adding to the cover when I pick up some more goodies.

Our first assignment was to take a self-photo. Like many of you, I am the photo taker in the family so there aren't too many photos of me. This self-portrait was taken in the bathroom mirror and I planned it so the camera would hide most of my face. I may be a fool but I am not stupid. Bad hair day, etc.


I still have to write the Note to Self abut the self-photo, but I have to save something for later tonight! Here's what I wrote:


It is my sincere intention to complete this class so that I have all my memories of Chalfont for when we move.
