Our senses tell a story. I've committed to recording my 5 senses for the past week to explore my sensory world. I challenge you to do the same. If you choose to do so, just blog your 5 senses every Sunday & let me know, I'd love to read them.
I got a great comment on my sense-ational Sunday last week - Crystal said "I bet it really makes you appreciate your surroundings!" That comment stuck with me and I realized it really has. I am conscious of anything sensory that "creates a memory" during the week. Before I was primarily focused on what I saw and what I heard, but paying more attention to all my 5 senses has made me a better scrapbooker.
Also before I started, I wanted to give a shout out to
Jen (Moody),
Jen (Tillman) &
Brandy who have regularly been doing Sense-ational Sunday posts with me. I'm going to start a section in my sidebar for Sense-ational Sunday posters, so let me know if you're up for the challenge & I'll add you to my links!
I SEE:
Meg again this weekend. She had classes to kit up at Luxe this weekend which means she come over & spent the night again. She has a new haircut (which she says has already grown out way too much) and these jeans. These are her
favorite new pants. While her parents were out of town she ripped and bleached them herself out of the closet (oh, I remember those days).
I HEAR:
I've had Finger 11's song
Paralyzer stuck in my head this week (which is so unlike what I usually like, I'm at a loss). I've also started listening to
Kidd Kraddick on the way to work ever since
Ashley's husband Ben became their webmaster. It's a long story...but they've gotten me listening to Freddy.
Click here to read all about Freddy & his saga. Can you say young Billy Joel? Sweet...
I TASTE:
Electra, yum. Tastes like springtime. It's a light wine made from Orange Muscat grape juice just on the verge — halfway between wine and grape juice. The alcohol is only 4% (most wines are at least 12%) - so it's just my speed and it doesn't make me sleepy or goofy. It's really peachy with melon undertones and is awesome with fresh fruit.
I TOUCH:
The computer keyboard. Oof, I've been on the computer a lot lately. I've had lots of creative time, but it's been in illustrator building web components for work or working on button designs for
ManHandled. I'm aching to touch paper & paint but there just hasn't been time. The picture? I thought it would be funny to take a picture of me typing & while I was playing with my camera settings I took this...and, yes, I do have like a zillion flower rings now. What can I say? I blame
Etsy.
I SMELL:
Lemony Flutter. This stuff smells and is
amazing - and a little goes such a long way!
Stacy originally told me about it when we were out on a "teacher field trip" at ScrapBowl and I've made sure I've had some ever since. My skin is so dry & this stuff is great for rehydrating my scar without getting all slimy (like the vitamin E oil) - so it's been Lemony Flutter by day & the E oil at night.
Miranda is practical. She works hard and is no nonsense. She is brutally honest and fiercely loyal - she's a great friend. This kit was inspired by Miranda's post-Brady more casual side and was put together in honor of Sex & the City's opening weekend at the box office. Join the Luxe and the City Celebration and post on this blog by Tuesday 5 PM CST for your shot to win "the Miranda". Check the other Luxe girls' blogs for "the Carrie", "the Charlotte" and "the Samantha". Also look for "the Manhattan" on the Luxe blog and our "If Carrie and Charlotte got together to crop..." t-shirts on our Facebook and MySpace pages. Have a fabulous weekend and LIVE LUXE!
