I signed up for Jessica Sprague’s free course “Stories in Hand” a little reluctantly since Cathy Z’s Design course is pretty time-consuming. But I knew all Jessica’s videos are available to you forever once you’re enrolled so I went ahead. I’m certainly glad I did, and I’ve been able to keep up with both classes. Jessica’s class is all about collecting–collecting the stories of your past and your present. She provided digital papers, tabs, titles, and over 1,000 journaling prompts to download and print. Here’s the finished binder and a little notebook to record current stories as they happen:
This week we’ve been looking through the prompts and making checklists of stories we remember as we read the prompts. I’ve been amazed at all I’ve remembered! Compared to most of my friends I have always felt my memory of growing up has been pretty poor. Reading through these prompts and talking about them with Tracy has created three pages of possible story topics.
I’ve typed up two of the stories on Google Docs.com. That’s another benefit of Jessica’s classes–I always learn about some new website or technological trick I didn’t know about before. It’s already been a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to doing more of this on my own once the class is over at the end of the week.
Hi Karen!
So glad you stopped by my blog… which led me to your blog and you. I can’t wait to sit down with a cup of tea and read your entire blog… backwards. You seem to enjoy the same things I do… including book choices.
I love the SIH class. This is my first online class ever and I’m hooked. Jessica is such a fantastic, thoughtful, and organized teacher. I’m up-to-date with the work and wish it would go on forever. I really need to take her Photoshop Class as I use it all the time for editing photos but not for digital pages. So… I’ll wait until after the 1st of the year. Do you have any other classes to suggest??
I just clicked on your Christmas Journal and went through each page. It is so beautifully done. Your visual detail is perfect for your pages. I like your creative style very much.
I just put together an Ali Edwards Christmas album… with a Scandinavian theme. So… I’m all set for December 1st. Bring her on!!
As far as Ali’s class… I’ll email you my thoughts on that.
So glad to meet you, Karen!

Well done Karen, you’ve done really well keeping up with both classes. I also signed up for Jessica’s class and have printed everything off but haven’t got as far as you with making a start on the assignments. At least I have everything ready to go when I have a chance. Still have another 2 layouts for Cathy’s week 7 that I’d like to try and get finished today.
