Reach for the sky, but keep your feet on the groun

As seen in the July 2010 Artisan Notebook Just WriteGrowing up I specifically remember having two very distinctive and unique ambitions.When I was in middle school, I was certain I wanted to be a Haute Couture fashion designer. Never mind that I didn't know what the words even meant. I'd heard it on TV, read it in magazines and I wanted to be one! It seemed to me to be the pinnacle of fashion designs and I wanted to be the top.When I was 15 years old, my parents bought me a ride on a glider for my birthday. From that day on, I was hooked on flying. Gone were the days of haute couture. Hello military uniforms! I would become a pilot, a fighter pilot. One of the first women to pilot an SR-71 top secret reconnaissance jets. An astronaut! I would go beyond the top of the stratosphere and into space.I never fully accomplished either of these ambitions. I made a few outfits for myself, but discovered that buying from a store is faster and easier. And far cuter. I got my student pilots license, but gave up on a military career. I never made it to the top, I've yet to be beyond the stratosphere.My feet are firmly planted on the ground now and I am a bit more realistic in my ambitions. I am a teacher. I teach English and Scrapbooking in Japan. I love what I do and deep down inside I'm happy that I am neither a fashion designer or a fighter pilot. Life is good just where I am.Credits:Unless otherwise noted, papers and elements from Altered Closet and Altered Girl TalkButterfly is from Sheros Earth sphere is from Skin to Skin Grow and Change from Link Me Up Alpha Dream from Geared Up Alpha Checkered border paper from What Alice Saw (altered) All of the above from ViVa Artistry @ The Digichick Winged alpha from Limitless collection by The Digichick Designers Photo mask by Mari Koegelenberg Hanging charm alpha from Keeper of Time by Studio GypsyJournaling line stamps by Katie PertietScallop doodle border template by Lauren GrierFonts used: MA Flirty, MA Sexy, Pea Mystie Caps, Pea Righton, SA Cacti, SA Remember, and SP Wonderful Wendy.
