The creator of this particular design had created a page all about herself - which if you are a scrapbooker, you know almost never happens, your pages are always about all the other special people and events in your life! As part of the layout she had described several things about herself, but it was what she listed as her "dream job" that has captured my heart:
DREAM JOB: I want to be a "stay-at-home-something" so I can be creative every day
You know when you have one of the AH HA! moments where something inside you just "clicks"? That is exactly what happened for me as I read this. As a kid I had lofty dreams of a prestigious career, however the older I get, the more I just want to be a great wife and someday a very cool mom. And as I re-read this woman's dream job, I said, "That's it. That's exactly what I want to be."
I want to be a "stay-at-home-something" where I can be creative every day. I'd love to have my scrapbooking pages and cards creations published...I'd love to be at home so I could create more in our kitchen...I'd love to be able to do a little bookkeeping on the side to keep that part of my brain sharp... I'd love to be at home more and feel like I have more time to love on the people that mean so much to me...I'd love to be able to contribute to a family income doing the creative things that make me smile...
Maybe it's this bone-chilling winter weather that stirs the embers of this passion again... Someday I will have a business card and it will say:
amber scott: a stay-at-home-something
But for today I choose to be grateful that I have a great job and dream of the day that I can design those business cards :)
I hope you share some of your design on your blog in the future. I'm sure they are fantastic! :)
