Life is not meant to let pass by. It’s meant to observe and absorb all that’s around you. It’s meant for appreciating and being grateful. Not just to look at it, but really see it.
I feel this especially any time I’m seeing nature–from the view in front of my home, to the mountains so close to drive to, to everywhere we go. There’s always something to see and absorb into your life and fill you up.
Hubs and I recently went up into the mountains and that’s all I could think of…just how much I loved being there and seeing and feeling it all. I love the outdoors.
Love this phrase. Used it. It’s all about What You See.
Amen. :)
I created a black rectangle, changed the text of the What You See image to white (Edit/Fill on the Layer), typed my journaling at the bottom and printed the page on Epson Premium Presentation Matte paper. I made this page last week on the day of the Iconic freebie and low and behold, I had a heart at the ready. Yay!
In the upper corner I used Plant Life to stamp a couple of leafy things and stapled a phrase from Scenic Little Words on top. At the bottom I combined a sentiment from Escape (retiring) with a label (my favorite one) from Label Maker.
Super quick and easy to make because I need more time to go do some more seeing. ;)

And I just wanted to add thank you…sincerely from the bottom of my heart for all your comments and support over the years. You have no idea how much your being a part of my life and my little neck of the woods means to me. I’ve made so many good friends over the years–from all over the world. I would never would have thought in a million years that I would say that nine years ago. What an amazing world we live in and what an incredible community we have here.
Thanks for the comments that you have left for the gifting too. I would have liked to respond to each and everyone of you, but have been out of town during this whole celebration. Maybe I’ll get some time to do respond to some comments in the next week or so. :)
Love to you all!


Kerri you are so very right. I love both the mountains and the ocean but even though I live closer to the city, there is beauty here too. We just have to open our eyes. Thank you for sharing you incredible view!
What a great saying! Thanks for sharing this file. I love the layout you created. :) Congratulations to the winners!
