This U-boat bunker located near Bremen, Germany was build from 1943 until 1945 using forced labour, costing the lives of over 6000 men.
The massive concrete factory was meant to construct U-boats for the German Kriegsmarine. In the end, the bunker code-named 'Valentin' did not product a single U-boat due to heavy bombing and eventual conquest by the Allied Forces.

The cost of ... everything.
This was a fun one for me.

"I quit my full-time, salary position to go back to serving, bartending & uncertainty. I lost an amazing discount on scrap supplies and I no longer see some of my best friends everyday. I no longer spend 6-8 hours a week in the car. I now pay my own health insurance. I don't get calls & texts about issues at work. I create all day and serve the public SEVEN nights a week. I wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy what I do & I'm really good at it. I kept my sanity. I spend less & save more. What I gained was more than I lost. And my happiness...priceless. 10-11-11"

Day 1
Inspiration : White
[The background story]
I love white space. I love using white as a background for my pages. But sometimes, a pop of color is in order.

"My gallery-style wall in the living room is still in the works. The wall behind it is canton purple. "It'll be too bold" they said. "It'll be too dark" they said. At least it isn't your everyday-run of the mill, museum quality white. I love it. May 1. 2013"

Day 18
Inspiration : Jealousy/Envy
Journaling reads:
"People often think that jealousy is a bad thing, but I tend to disagree. Every single day I find boatloads of inspiration in the digital world - Pinterest & Facebook, designer blogs & Instagram. I'm not jealous of the beautiful works of art - but I'm willing to admit that I am indeed jealous of the people who get to be creative FOR A LIVING. The product designers & the sample makers, the brains behind the brilliance & the hands that bring products to life. I'm jealous of these people, but also SO INSPIRED by them. Who says I can't do what they do? I'm working on ideas & refocusing my energy on things that make me happy - on art & creating. I'm getting to the point where I'm realizing the only bad choices I make are the ones involving not trying & being afraid to fail. If I fail, it means I tried & more likely than not, I'll learn a few things along the way. I've had a lot of thoughts & dreams & I'm determined to put them into action. I'm taking my [happy] jealousy of full time creative people & using it to inspire me, to motivate me. I have a feeling that when I get started - there will be no backing down ... & I can't wait.

Loosely based on the sketch from today's prompt. I took Lain's suggestion and made this 8X8 as the photos are old and of poor quality. A story about how my daughter gave chicken pox to her dad and brother.

this is not dead on the prompt. I've done every hobby and craft known to mankind. but this is a story of how on hobby came in handy
Back in the 70’s I remember
my Mom making a Lazy
Daisy afgan. She worked on
it for years. Then itjust
disapeared. No one thought
much about it. It became a
distant memory. Four years
after my Mom passed Dad
had went to Texas to visit
her sisters. Vivian my Mom’s
sister had it. Mom had given
it to her to finish. But she
had forgotten about it. So
when I got it I worked on it
every day till Christmas. I
gave it to my daughter. Now
she a Afgan made by2
gererations. Her Grand-
Mother and her Mother.
There’s alot of LOVE
handcrafted in that Afgan.

The bulldozer takes a load of new asphalt to a waiting semi truck. I'm glad the road isn't entirely blocked off - yet!
12/19/2008 - Houston, Texas - I took this picture at a stop light at Shepherd and W. Gray. This pickup was seriously overloaded and the suspension couldn't bear the full load.
All my scrap supplies are packed in my car for a weekend crop. Luckily, my Citrus Twist kit arrived so I used bits from that and dug into my washi stash. Thanks for looking!
Here we are load testing one of two 150t overhead cranes inside a power station, both of the main cranes and the auxiliary 20t hoists getting a full load test prior to some very significant works.
Another load of timber going out of the harbour, not sure about deforestation of the Amazon, certainly seems to apply to the highlands, replanting? White windmills instead.

I actually don't like this either - phooey *walks away, hands in pockets*
Day Ten
I find that I use a lot of color in my pages and books, even colors that years ago I would have strayed away from. However, I don't often use a lot of pink...so I picked that. I also use a ton of neutrals, so I opted for black since it complimented the photo.
Journaling reads:
"I met these four rockstars and in the past three years they have changed my LIFE! I was lucky to see them everyday-the provide so much laughter, shared in my tears, helped reign in my pigeon-ness and even supported me through an intervention. They are so talented, so creative and I'm so THANKFUL for them-for their friendship, their big sister-ness, their mom-isms and so much more. Love! 10-11 :)"
*Side note...the "intervention" mentioned was nothing serious. It was more of a running joke than anything. Just so people aren't concerned...everything is fine. :)*
