Blog Prompt: Sometimes it is our little nicks, dents, and imperfections – that make us able to relate to other people. How have you seen evidence of this in your own life?

This is such a great prompt for me.  Let me get my list out. 

1. Nerd
2. Geek
3. Wears Thick Glasses
4. Little Pudgy
5. Redneck

ugh!  After seeing the list, I am weird!!  Can you imagine being this way in High School?  I was a geeky, never got in trouble, chubby, glass wearing, Redneck!  I still have close friends that said I was such a nerd in High School.  But, being a nerd and geek is pretty cool now.  That only took 30 years!

Yea, I was picked on, but I think living through all that just made me understand how people work.  I consider myself a very good judge of character and when I realize pretty quick that a new person in my life is not someone I want to hang with, I’m outta there.

I’ve certainly learned how to laugh at myself and have fun.  I think that is the Redneck coming out of me.  Life is too short to take things so seriously that it disrupts my life.

I used 2 great kits from Clever Crow Designs to make this layout of my very messy dog, Ernest T. Bass.  Altered Autumn and Autumn Merry Night kit’s are just full of beautiful fall colors for this time of the season.  She is also having a 31 days of freebies on her blog.  These are so great and check them out here.

Blog Prompt: Hobbies

I have a few things I love to do as a hobbie. I love to work out in my butterfly garden and putter in the yard. Love being outside and watching things grow that I planted. I also belong to the Garden Club here where I live and we worked for a couple hours this morning at our area butterfly gardens. There are 6 of them. So pretty.

I love my scrap booking, archiving photos and taking photos, videos and 8mm movies and transferring them into a DVD. My family really enjoys looking at pictures that way. I did a special one for my parents last year on the 50th wedding anniversary and the looks in their eyes as they watched it, was all I needed to see.

But I guess my favorite hobby is working on my computer!! I’m a certified geek from way back, when geekness wasn’t cool. Anything I can do on the computer, it will get done that way. I do all my scrap booking, photo editing, printing of my scrapbook pages and pictures, all our book work for our rentals, emails, my website and blog updates and of course, chatting with my friends from my computer that I built by myself. That was a project that I was very proud of and I know I will do it again in the future. I actually have 2 computers. One for everyday business and one for just my video editing.

Hobbies are fun and I can’t wait to read what everyone else loves to do!
