Creating Time Capsules Assignment ~ Filling The Shelf

Hello lovely friends,

How are you? How's your week?

Here we are.... Wednesday already....It's all so good. Isn't it? Even when things may not seem that good....Cause of course... we all have bad days... even weeks... even years... but in the scheme of it all.... I do believe...it's all so good!

I have this thing I do.... I love to rearrange the little spaces in our home... This space is part of my studio....2 old benches stacked....where I gather together things I love...pretty things... things that make me happy, things I am grateful for.....Now and then, I take everything off the shelves....and add the latest 'things' I'm loving.... pretty much always centering around books....and vintage..... (scroll down below the video to see the list of books featured in my film).

I'm taking my friend, Xanthe's Creating Time Capsules eCourse .... I made a little stop-frame film of 'filling the shelf' .... It's my first attempt... I'm sure I will get better at all of this as I go... But it really does makes me happy..... Scroll down to check out my little 1 minute film.....

I do believe this is the start of something fun and fab.... Soon, I hope to mix video, photo and stop frame into lovely little snippets of my world.

Anyhow, I thought you all might enjoy seeing it.....Plus it goes with our white TT theme...  shot in my white studio, on the white benches.... with white tulips..... etc.....'smile'....

xo,

this is soo cool. your first project is great. I need to do this for sure and the texture class.

[Sherri B.]

Oh wow...I absolutely love this. Beautifully done! And I recognized some of those books from my own library... :)

This class sounds amazing and I may need to investigate it - thanks so much for sharing, Kim!

[Melaine]

It gave me chill bumps....no kidding....chill bumps. It was fascinating!

[Jackie]

Really, really beautiful! I love what you've done. It looks like it's hard to do - stop motion filming. You've done a great job!!

[annetta]

That was very beautiful & so inspiring! I cant wait to see more. Love that space too.

[Monica d]

[cheryl crotty]

Awesome job Kim...I don't know how you keep up with yourself....xoxo

[Maryann]

Beautiful! You did a great job, as usual! Lovely music, too.

[Marion]

Lovely job on the video Kim. Thank you for listing the books - as I was watching the video it was driving me crazy trying to see the titles until I read on and found the list :)

[Linda]

Love it....you did a great job!

[scamp (aka Shirley)]

Love what you've created! I hope Xanthe's course is available this summer because that's the soonest that I'll have time, and I am definitely interested!

This is fantastic Kim. I really enjoyed watching it. The music works very well with the books piling up. Can't wait to see what else you do.

[jenni]

kim...i absolutely LOVE everything you do and SOME DAY, i'll get courageous enough and LEARN enough to do the things you inspire me to do. so i lurk. i'm just not smart about my camera and i've got a new mac...well, a mac from 2008, but new to me and it's really hard learning to use it because it seems so opposite of my pc....but i'm beginning to get the hang of it.

so....i loved your shelf picture...but i am in LOVE with the inspire and create signs. did you do those? oh man....i NEED those in my studio. if you did those, would you be willing to give us a tutorial or something without cheating on yourself? i would so love having those things. need those things. sigh.

[Kia and Zeno]

Awwww, fascinating! And the music is fabulous! :)

[donna]

Kim, Wow, you rock! Your stop frame video tells a wonderful story. One of my very first questions when meeting a new friend is always, "So what do you like to read?" Thanks so much for helping to fill my bookshelf with a few new selections -and for a seemingly endless supply of inspiration.

[Angie]

Very nice, Kim. :)

[Carol Hart]

Awesome! We also have a lot of the same books. Wow!

[sam]

The video was amazing as well as inspiring Kim. So very beautifully done. I loved it. xx

[Ross]

Thanks for this great post Kim! If there is one thing I can learn from it's this. Organizing like what you've done here is an area I need help with. Thanks!

[Abigail Walker]

Wow Kim, so beautiful! Makes me want to take the ecourse myself! Thanks for sharing :)

[Deb]

Beautiful!!
Love the INSPIRE & CREATE signs ~ did you make these? ♥

[Regina R - RGR Designs]

Loved your video. We share some of the same books! I'm reading/journaling One Thousand Gifts because another BL member commented on my blog post Gratitude featuring an image I edited with one of your textures. She recommended the book to me.
I love all the ways this community is enriching one another's lives beyond our photo art.
