an ordinary moment

Last week I was reading Ali Edwards' blog and she talked about right now, the stuff that is happening right now, the ordinary but some how extraordinary. I had been cleaning and stopped for a cuppa. While enjoying my cuppa in what I thought was going to be a quiet moment, was shattered by Alex and her loud, very loud music along with her loud, very loud singing. My first reaction was to yell "turn that down", but then I was instantly transported back in time to when I was about 11 (same as Alex), with my hair brush in hand (my microphone), my record player on loud (yes no CDs or ipods back then) and me singing and dancing to my fans, my audience (they being my teddy bear, by barbie and a few other stuffed animals) screaming my name for more. I laughed out loud and new that I could not let this moment pass without documenting.I took a photo of Alex's closed bedroom door because somehow this was the important bit. You see all I could see was the door and all I could hear was the music and her singing and I just had to imagine the rest, but I knew this moment would be important one day.

It was only just recently that I managed to get 6" x 12" page protectors that I had been waiting for for ages and just couldn't wait to scrap this moment a different way than the norm because this was no ordinary moment.

And to my delight when I called into Tomorrow's Memories yesterday some yummy new American Crafts stuff had come in and it had my name all over it. So I got these journalling stickers and transparent accents and they were just perfect for this page.

Once I had printed the photo out and put it back into the printer and typed all the names of the songs that Alex was singing and dancing to. I did each one in a different text box so that I could move them around a little. I printed it onto the photo, right over the door because thats where the sound was coming from.

I so enjoyed doing this layout and Ali was right. Was seems like an ordinary moment now definately is no ordinary moment later.

Have a great Sunday and maybe take a photo of right now and document the extraordinary ordinary.

Love me :-)
