A New Year and New Blogs. I’ve got a few friends and online pals starting some new blogs, so stay tuned because I think you will start seeing more exciting things.
One of these is from a gal many of you may recognize as Pinky. She has started Dirty Scraps. The name may sound a little risque, but it’s about scrapping the bad with the good. Many of us fall into the trap that we should only preserve our good memories or our fun times. Unfortunately, life isn’t always good to us and sometimes we have some bad. I do think it will be just as important to scrap those things also and that is part of my New Year’s goals; to scrap the ‘everyday’. Some of this will push me and my comfort zone, but that will be good. Those of you that know me know that I love a challenge.
So, her first challenge was to scrap a peeve and how you’ve learned from it. Here is mine! Click on any of the pics for a closer look at the details.
The journaling reads: “Don’t judge me. (-) It really bothers me when people try to judge me before they know me. Whether they judge me based on what I look like, what I wear, what they’ve heard through a rumor mill, or where I live. I have faced this judgemental attitude my entire life. It has hurt my feelings as well as my childhood and marriage. (+) Nevertheless, it taught me to look for the good in people and try not to make a rash decision about someone until I took the time to get to know them. The journaling was handwritten with a Copic Spica pen in Lipstick. That little bit of shimmer to all the distress on the page really set it off and finished it for me. I wish it would photograph better.
I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and think about what ares your peeve and how have you grown from them. If you participate with this challenge, share it on the Dirty Scraps blog before January 24th.
Thanks for stopping by today. I would love to hear what you think about my take on scrapping out of my comfort zone.

Aww, Pam. You make me want to cry. I miss you and love you too.
Thank you all for the comments. It is scary to put your journaling out there and pictures of yourself. But it is kind of liberating too. 🙂
I love it. The picture is great too 🙂 I really need to work on my journaling. It scares me to do it. That will be one of my goals.
