colorado cara
a 30 year old girl at heart who likes to read and write and talk with friends.
a girl who doesn't have it all figured out . . .
who loves god. but sure doesn't understand him.
who loves her husband madly but thinks marriage is the most difficult endeavor one could ever take on.
who likes paint and color and music and chaos and laughter.
a girl who grins while she swims laps because it just feels so good to be underwater . . . and who talks outloud to herself when she feels particularly strong about something.
and dances with confidence because she is certain she looks better than the reflection in the mirror suggests.
a girl who wants to be a mother someday but is willing to wait for the right time.
a girl who wants to set aside things that don't matter and slurp all of the good stuff out of life - down to the last drop!

(oh! and a girl who has an etsy shop! www.caraharjes.etsy.com)
my family consists of...
my new(-ish) husband, herb. everyone needs a herb! he makes me laugh everyday - seriously the man is funny. we have no pets or children because we LOVE to travel and it is a pain to board your animals all the time . . . and the boarders tend to think they should call social services when you try to drop your children off for a few days. sheesh! they are so picky!
I feel most creative when...
i have a little time and space to be by myself. especially when i have some non-rushed time to run errands and sort of go looking for inspiration.
my favorite scrapbooking products are...
i just stepped into the wonderful world of the rub-on! i love that stuff! and then of course, i love non-scrapbooking scrapbook products!
my favorite color is...
lime green. especially when it is hanging out with red!
I scrapbook because...
i have a story worth telling.
plus, the 12x12 page is a really "safe" place to get creative without feeling overwhelmed.
the best song in the world is...
the silly little made-up song my husband sings to me when we are all snuggled up in bed together.
my favorite movie quote is...
"maybe family is just a bunch of people who miss the same imaginary place." AND "don't tease me about my hobbies . . . i don't tease you about being an a**hole." - garden state
I almost couldn't live without...
honestly, i could get by pretty simply and there isn't much that i couldn't LIVE without. but i sure do like chai tea, grey's anatomy, taking walks at the park, watching little kids talk to each other (hilarious!), red wine, cozy socks, the smell of pine trees in the colorado sun!
