Classes




‘Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.’  -  Mahatma Gandhi
‘You learn something every day if you pay attention.’  -  Ray LeBlond


I found these boppy little flowers in a mixed bouquet at Trader Joe.  I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with the flowers, I just knew I needed to take their picture.  When I took the flowers’ picture I had the Be Still 52 class in mind, leaving negative space. 




In the Start to Finish class our challenge was eggs, anything to do with eggs.  I eat a lot of eggs, but I have never taken a picture of eggs before yesterday.   I didn't realized how photogenic they are. 

Today I am joining Friday Finds, Start to Finish and Be Still 52.  My images where textured with the Kim Klassen Textures simple and 0312.

Thank you for stopping by!!!
Have a great weekend!

  1. Michelle,
    sorry that I did not comment in the last time. I was so busy.
    But today I can relax a little bit so I find time to look at KK Friday Finds.
    Your first picture is awesome!!! So so pretty!
    This would be one of my favorite greeting cards motives...so pretty!
    You found this flowers at Trader Joes? I know this supermarket very well from California where we lived some years. My daughter loved to look for little pirate 'pierre' in the storages.
    ...so funny...so many wonderful memories!
    Thanks for sharing this pretty pictures and interesting thoughts.
    Have a great weekend and take care...
    Your Brigitte

  8. How wonderful that Kim's classes are providing so much inspiration. It's such fun to see your creative takes on each assignment. The flowers of chives are so striking and I love you first image with the simple vase and the elegant negative space. But the view from above of the eggs and chives is my favorite. I often add chives to my scrambled eggs, so this photo just makes me hungry!

  9. I recently had a conversation with my mother about continued learning. I said I want to keep learning new things each and every day. She had more the mentality that at 71 she was done learning, but she called me later to let me know our conversation got her thinking.
