Today at convention we heard from our keynote speaker Stacey Julian- did you know she used to be a consultant for our company?! Way back when we were called DOTS – I thought that was a best fact!
But- that is not what I wanted to share from her. She is probably the best speaker I have ever heard! So insightful and she had us in tears several times over a variety of things – and she cried right along with us! If you don’t know who she is then look her up- her website is bigpictureclasses.com and she will change your life and how you view and celebrate it!

What I learned from her today:
– scrapbook my stories and the stories of the people in my life
– my scrapbooks are for me (my kids will not see the same value in them)
– your life is what it is and you will never have time to scrapbook everything you might want to but carve out some creative time for yourself weekly and be sure to use it to scrapbook what is really important!
-text messages speak most to our kids these days: take a pic in your phone and send it to them and tell them how you feel and how special they are!! Love this one ( my kids are to young for phones yet but I will send it to their dad!)

And most of all- have FUN with your art!!
Loved her messages!!

Until we craft again, The Brae-er
