During the month of September, I am joining Bailey Jean {and a host of others!} for The 2015 Blog-tember Challenge! This is my first time joining the Blog-tember Challenge; and I am excited to have a "daily" prompt to share!
Today we are to share - "What Are You Passionate About?" Well, let me think about this one...
I am passionate about my hobby - or is that "obsessive" about my hobby?
I love to create pages (layouts) for photos of my grandchildren; and events, vacations and other special occasions I spend with my family and friends. I love to find new ways to display the photos; new colors and techniques to use when creating the layout.
But, this is a FUN hobby; a wonderful thing that I love to do...a passion that I have and am always excited to talk to others about...
And, being a part of a group of scrapbookers introduced me to another passion...
Patriot Service Dogs
Retreat
September 2014
Attending a weekend retreat! But, that's not the real passion here - it's the organization that trains puppies to - subsequently - become a service dog for a disable veteran! I don't always have the opportunity to attend all of their functions and and events, but I do make it work so I can attend their retreats that support the organization.
Actually, I enjoy attending scrapbooking retreats...period! But, knowing these support such a great non-profit organization, I do make every effort to attend!
I know I have written about Patriot Service Dogs many times - and therein lies the passion!
So, yes...my passion! Scrapbooking and Patriot Service Dogs!
And so I am off to do some more fund-raising for our retreat that is just around the corner!
I've been lucky to receive a couple of your cards - they are wonderful! I have some stuff for card making, but have yet to actually make the cards. Maybe once I am caught up on organizing my pictures.
ReplyDeleteYes, you have received a couple of cards I made...they really are fun to make; maybe one day you'll use your stuff!!
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting...good to see you around!!
Oh, I love your layout! Is that from the trip you did recently (and you've scrapped it already?! I'm impressed!!!)....and love the excitement and passion I can hear coming out when you speak of your scrapping retreats! Just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh, I have ideas for our recent trip; but have not printed them out yet! Getting them organized and waiting for a good deal - 10 cent prints are always good when I have so many!! This was a 4th of July - weekend - trip we took to SC, NC and GA in 2008. These were photos I wanted to try the mosaics with...and it turned out great. It will be the title page for that trip when I get the rest of it done!
DeleteYes, I guess I AM passionate about scrapbooking and the retreats...I enjoy all of them, but am most passionate about the Patriot Service Dogs retreat because of what they do! I am getting ready to "fund-raise" for the one coming up!
