This page is for the Grow with Love: January Letters:: Day 4 ... the prompt was about scrapping ourselves right now, what we, the scrapper loves! And by the way, right now I'm IN LOVE with the journaling bling by Jenn Barrette that's currently available at the lily pad! LOVE IT!!!
My Journaling:
Today is Wednesday, February 23, 2011. My life right now seems to be revolve around work, TV, scrapbooking at my family. We will skip the work part since that is pretty boring. It’s winter, so we’re usually stuck indoors which means, TV addiction time. I’m in love with American Idol, despite the new judges. I spend all weekend waiting for Glee. And even thought we record it, I still refuse to miss it. I will also watch any law and order type shows, just because they are a decent waste of time. Now, as for the computer... scrapbooking and gallery surfing is what I like to do best. So far this year I’ve done about 25 layouts which is a HUGE accomplishment compared to every other year. Then there’s photography. I love to take pictures, even though I have plain point-and-shoot camera. Every time I take a photo, I think about how I will scrapbook it, even kit ideas that’s how obsessed I am. I’m also trying to get my body healthy again, so I’m cooking more, which I love. I can’t believe we ate out so much last year!! I also love playing the Kinect... it’s such a great indoor workout that doesn’t feel like exercise. At the end of the day, I love going to bed with Eric and Rylee. Hearing that little chatterbox tell her “Once upon a time” stories is just a priceless part of my day. As it gets warmer I’m sure my loves will change. Less TV, more outside time which means, more family time which is my number one love of all.

This was a very tough page for me. It's one that I needed to do, because it's something that I think about every single day. I actually started it weeks ago, I just had a hard time with the journaling. I wanted to be truthful and honest with myself and sometimes that is very hard to do.
This was for Day3 of the January Letters from the Grow with Love series by Sara and Crystal

Free to be Me

via mesoscrappy.com

Wow! This layout feel together easily. Love this kit, and this prompt from Sara and Crystal is a great one. I got to explore me, in a positive light instead of always seeing the bad! The lyrics around the actual journaling is from a song by Francesca Battistelli "Free to be Me"! LOVE that song, Love most of her stuff! At the top of the journaling paragraph is the chorus from the song, then my journaling:
No matter how old I get, I never feel quite good enough. I tend to be a pessimistic person anyway, but I always feel inadequte. But you know what, Life is not about the have nots but about the haves. I am blessed. I am a good person. I am a Christian. I am faithful. I am loving, caring, considerate, compassionate, and occasionally OCD person. I am loved. I am blessed.

This page my GSO at Me So Scrappy on Thursday!! Everytime I see my page get recognized it shocks me!! I'm like.. "wow, they liked little ole me"

Save: One little word

via digishoptalk.com

I have finally found my *one little word* for 2011. Don't know what it is?? Visit Ali Edwards Blog for more information. When creating this page, I incorporated one of the daily prompts that came with this template: Resolve. It was the perfect piece of the puzzle for my one little word layout!

Definition of Save: to rescue or deliver from danger or harm. To preserve or guard from destruction or loss. To store in a computer. To put aside or reserve. To deliver from sin. To spend less. To avoid unnecessary waste or expense.
I have finally chosen my word for twenty-eleven: SAVE. Save money. Save memories. Save lives. Two years officially on our own feet, I’d like to see us finally be able to put back some cash. Whether it be for an emergency, vacation, a new home, or just for a movie, I’d like to know that we have a little saved back for a rainy day. Step 1 for saving money is already complete with the opening of our new savings account. Next, I’d like to save more memories this year. Record more, journal more, maybe even a little blog to keep up with the weekly happens of our lives. I just feel like time is flying by and I’m barely remembering it. Now, for Saving lives... that one is a two parter. I would like to take the state exam and pass to be a CNA. I would like to help preserve the physical part of the young and old as well as help save their soul. I have people very close to me, that I’d love to see saved this year. As days go by, I believe our time on earth is coming to an end, and I would hate to know that I could help save someone but instead I did nothing. So... that is my little word for 2011. Now I just hope I don’t lose sight of my goals for this new year.
