Journaling Challenge

The rooster rises early in the morning and greets the day with a song. (A little tidbit from Jason Mraz and an explanation of the rooster on his first album cover.) The morning is my best time of the day...I gather my thoughts on what needs to be done, get motivated for the creative day ahead of me. Today's scrapbooking/journaling challenge: Stand outside of your home and look at it from an outsider's viewpoint. What goes on in that house? What lives are lived there? Who comes and goes? Take some pictures of your home through the windows and do some awesome journaling!
