Always be ready-MW Color Challenge #10 & Art Inspiration #55

**yawn** sorry this is so BORING!!! I guess if you've made it this far, it's just because you've clicked on a link from one of the challenge threads. I am feeling a little pooped this week, I guess. Thanks Shelby and Traci for the inspiration this week. Just couldn't get myself motivated, though. I'm so lazy this week, this Layout kills three birds with one stone: MW Color challenge, AI 55 and a AAM page for another sight. Before I go take my nap, here is the journaling because I am so sure you are just WAITING IN ANTICIPATION to read it:……… <p>For many years now, I have dedicated my time and energy to recording the lives of my children. I spend a lot of time behind the camera and recording my feelings for the little monkeys that call me “Mom”. I thought it would be a good idea to do an album about me, Heather Lyn Binnie. I have no idea who my ancestors are and I think this would be fun for my great, great, great grandchildren to have something like this. I hope you, dear reader, will learn about what life was like for me. I don’t know what happens when a person dies, if I go to Heaven, if I’ll be reincarnated as a dog or a fish, but when I’m gone you can look through this album and know a little about me. I also think it will be nice leaving behind something other than maybe some Fiesta ware dishes. I’m only making one, so all of my offspring will have to fight over this. Sorry. That’s just the way it is.<p>So, this book is dedicated to my family. Who else would I dedicate this to? I wouldn’t have even started to scrapbook if it weren’t for them. I just kind of feel guilty doing stories on me when I should be taking pictures of Trent sitting on the toilet or Katrina crying right now as I’m typing this one handed. Ashley isn’t even here anymore, so it’s not like I could take pictures of her.<p>I’ll start with this picture of me. Someone said that a picture speaks a thousand words. Well, I agree. Here am I on November 11, 2003 seconds after Katrina was born. Note the camera in my hand. Always thinking about recording for the future generations. You’re lucky I cropped the bloody parts out. Although it looks like I’m looking right at my Great Grandma (the one taking the photo), I don’t even remember her taking this. I’m glad she did. I think it sums me up pretty well…”always be ready”.<p>Thanks for taking the time to look.
