Yesterday we came home safely. We were two days early. Why, you may ask? How can someone come home early from vacation? Well… I discovered, that Adrian and I just can’t take it easy We just can’t sit still when there’s still so much to explore. We just can’t put up our camping spot (which was in our new Jeep by the way…) at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. It just isn’t us

We had a wonderful time though. Lots of fun. Lots of giggles. Lots of laughs. Lots of exploring and lots of visiting new places. It was great and much needed.

But I don’t feel ready to jump in on daily life just yet. I feel…. blank. I wanted to post some sneak peek pictures of the trip this morning, but I couldn’t. No words wanted to come out of my keyboard. Nothing at all.

After catching up on my favorite TV Shows on Hulu (1 New Girl, 2 Army Wives (my top top faves!!!) and 1 Desperate Housewives) I still don’t have the energy to tackle the kitchen or sorting out dirty clothes or emailing people back or scrapbooking or doing anything at all.

I hope tomorrow will be better I’m positive.

After all that rambling (hope I didn’t bore you too much…) here some of my most favorite pictures of the trip! I tell you, we saw it ALL! From 96 F weather in Death Valley, to frozen condensation on the car windows…. yeah, we saw it all

Happy Day you all

NOW in more than one way

Posted on 01/07/2012 by Rahel Menig

Living in the NOW has always been kinda hard for me. I always have plans, ideas, dreams and so on and that is usually where my head is. But the last few days I feel like I am really becoming alive. Those plans and dreams might not be that far in the future as I have always thought…?

Since last night I am reading this book. I’ve never read a book of the ‘Dummies’ Series, but I am sold! Seriously, if you are thinking of – now let’s see if I get the next word right – entrepreneurship, then spend those 15 bucks on your career! I’m half through and I have learned so many things, and not only about business, but also about myself. Interesting. Exciting. New.

And since we are already talking about now, I have a layout to share with the title NOW That now was from a few weeks ago, when I was working on a few projects, listening to Christmas Music and sipping some homemade milk-iced tea out of a Starbucks cup

Wishing you a great great weekend!!

Happy Scrappin’

Whew! Already the end of 2011! I remember when it turned from 1999 to 2000. I was like 9 and we watched Marry Poppins with some friends The good old times

Anyways, I wish you all THE VERY BEST in the new year! Let’s make it a good one We are totally not the party tigers so Adrian is calling around (it’s 5:38PM) and it looks like we’re gonna have a party for two, which means, MOVIES AND POPCORN!!! I don’t mind at all!! hee

Here are some AC projects that are perfect for tonight

Now I’m gonna let you back to celebrating and I will jump into something a bit more comfy and make some hot cocoa

Have a wonderful New Year’s Eve

xoxo, Rahel

Just an Update…

Posted on 12/22/2011 by Rahel Menig

I’ve been super busy during the last few days (well, who isn’t busy the week before Christmas…?) I’ve made like a gazillion layouts and other projects since I have to work ahead as much as possible for the trip. More details on that in a sec. Here a sneak on one of the pages Gotta show you that new technique I came up with the other day, making REAL glitter splatters!!! A.MA.ZING! Soon soon.

Oh yeah, and yesterday I colored my hair once again I know, I look like 18 or so, but now I seriously look like 16 One good thing comes from that: when I’m 50 I (hopefully) won’t look like 50 ha!

And now to the trip….. We had to cancel our hotels in Jackson and Silver Gate, because there’s barely any snow up there right now (according to WeatherUnderground) so we are planning on leaving in the end of January. It’s a bummer, but there’s really no point in going without a ton of snow Soooo, we’re trying to be excited about Christmas once again and see what happens with the trip. Things like that show me how small we really are and how amazing it is to have a God that is so so so much bigger and stands over all our itty bitty problems

All righty, I let you get back to all the Christmas preparations

Merry Christmas

It pays out…

…to not give up

Some time back I was chatting with my sister on Skype while painting a little scene of birch trees. All of the sudden she would hear “Oh great, I totally messed this one up!” and I was about to throw the painting away. But nonono, she said I should not give up so easily!

To show her what I was talking about I took a few shots during not giving up…

The result came out quiet nicely

A few days later I made another one (can you tell I’m a creature of habit……?) and I like that one even more

Why I’m sharing this with you? Well, because I wanted to demonstrate that giving up is (almost) never a good option And that doesn’t only count for painting or scrapbooking

Enough emotional talk!

Merry Christmas ♥
