ADSR Challenge 1 layout: Wednesday's Child


This is the layout I made for this season's first challenge. I've been to the race gallery and there are a lot of great layouts...make sure you go to Ndis to check them out!




Journaling: Almost everyone has heard the poem called Monday‘s Child. It starts like this: “Monday’s child is fair of face; Tuesday‘s child is full of grace....”. You were born on a Wednesday and Wednesday’s child is full of woe. But I think because of your love of horses it should be ‘full of whoa’. You’ve been drawn to horses all of your life. As a toddler you would sit on the rocking horse for hours. When you got older you wanted to take riding lessons and go to horse camp. And now, you are attending college majoring in Equine Sciences. Whoa...doesn’t it make you wonder just a little bit if being a Wednesday’s child has anything to do with it?

Brittney tagged me. So I have to tell you 6 facts about myself:

1. I like liver (especially smothered in onions)!
2. I can't sing.
3. I like to camp.
4. I am not as tall as my drivers license says I am.
5. I like to bake.
6. I have been known to spend hours balancing a checkbook just to find a penny.

Now I just have to figure out who I will tag!

Layout: Hide and Seek


This is one of the layouts I made during the ADSR last year. I am patiently (okay....maybe not patiently) waiting for this year's contest to begin!!!


Journaling: One of my hobbies is genealogy and one of my favorite places to go is a cemetery. Almost any cemetery will do...but I especially like the older ones. Cemeteries are quiet and peaceful. I enjoy walking around reading the names and looking at the beautiful artwork on the stones. And, if I get lucky, sometimes I find a long lost relative or two! I read once that, “Genealogy is like playing hide and seek: They hide...I seek!” and I couldn’t help but chuckle...how true that statement is! I searched for years to find the gravestones of my great great grandparents and words can’t even begin to describe the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction I felt when I finally found them!
