Everyday Adventures
Becoming an Explorer of Your World

Do you aspire to live life to the fullest, embracing adventure and curiosity along the way? Would you like to invite more awareness, creativity, and fun into your lifestyle? Then you need to learn to navigate your everyday adventures like an explorer! Based on the fabulously quirky and inspiring book How to be an Explorer of the World by Keri Smith, this four-week course will take you on a journey of twenty different explorations that will hone your powers of observation and s-t-r-e-t-c-h your creative capacity. Your fearless expedition leader will be veteran BPS instructor and Library of Memories trainer Tami Morrison; she is known for her creative flair and sense of fun. Tami will guide you along the trail of discovery with wit, wisdom and a touch of wackiness. Her pages and projects have appeared in numerous publications, and most recently at Ella Publishing, where she is a regular contributor. With four offspring, ranging in age from five to twenty-four, and a kid-at-heart husband, Tami knows all too well that life is an escapade best savored with a wide-open mind and a healthy sense of humor.

The heightened perception you will cultivate as an explorer of your world will carry over into your scrapbooking to make you a better eyewitness and story collector. As you fill your field journal and strive to be more engaged and present, you may be surprised to find that you never look at an ordinary junk drawer or grocery list in the same way again.

Class Pre-work:	You will need to have your field journal ready when class begins, so you can start recording your experiences on day one. The field journal can be as simple as a store-bought notebook, or as customized and embellished as you would like to make it. You will also need a copy of How to be an Explorer of the World by Keri Smith in hand by the first day of class. It will serve as your textbook, and each exploration will have a corresponding page assignment.
Additional Items:	If you want the instant gratification of putting daily photos in your field journal, you will need access to a digital camera and home photo printer, a local quick photo processing source such as a Kodak kiosk or one hour photo, or an instamatic camera (I will be using the Fuji Instax). If you are unable to print your photos daily, you can leave space to add them later.
