Love Life Together

Another page for my letters album... this one is using the prompt- send love and of course, I was sending my love to Eric! By the way, just in case you didn't know-- Sara and Crystal host these prompts on each of their blogs and everyone is more than welcome to play along or work at your own pace-- which is what I've done!

And, ... and this excites me... it made GSO at DST today!!!

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"

To be a Mommy

This was a tough-- yet-- easy page to complete. I used the Grow with Love- Kids Edition- Template 10- {{Prompt #1: Remember... did you always?}} which is by Sara Gleason and Crystal Livesay available @ TLP.
Journaling:
When I was a little girl, of course I knew I wanted kits. I wanted 3:: Boy, Girl, Boy! And then, in high school, after having seizures for almost 10 years, I thought that it would be horrible of me to bring a child in this world that could possibly have epilepsy and have to deal with that disease forever, as well. So, at 16 I decided that I would not have kids.
Then, you came along. Miss Rylee Lynn, you’ve changed my life forever! Before you, I was dead set on not having kids, but now I don’t know what I would have done without you! You, and your dad, are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was blessed to have been seizure free all during pregnancy and so far, there have been no signs of seizures in you. I pray that it stays like that forever!

Projects:: 2011

Well, it is day 1 of month 2 in this great new year, and I'm already ending and beginning new products. Right now I'm working on about 3 "themed" scrapbook albums (love letters, Rylee, and Marriage from the GWL series). It is not surprised that I dropped out of p365 during week 1. Yep. It's sad, I know. If I had a better camera I think I would take more pictures, but I hate the one I have now... which is why I'm saving up for a DSLR. However, I am trying to still take pictures at least a couple days a week of not only the events, but our daily happenings. At the beginning of each new month I'm trying to do a 2 page summery spread of the previous month using those everyday pictures. AND, instead of waiting until the middle of December to do my 2012 calendar, I'm doing the calendar topper at the end of each month!!! I have *started* the January one, it's just not finished yet.

Here is page 1 from the Marriage Album! I used the template and prompts by Sara & Crystal which were originally held on their blog, but since that set was months ago, you have to look into the Archives. Well worth it I tell you for some template inspiration!

Journaling:
As one of the key components of a relationship, Compromise is one area where I feel we need a little work. While we are alike in most ways, there are still some things that we just cannot agree on. Being stubborn to the core, means we both could learn to give a little. Some days are easier than others, but, no matter what happens, how far apart we are on some things, we do a good job of getting over it. We fight, argue, stop speaking for a short time, then it’s over and done with. But this means, we never get that issue resolved. Therefore, this year I hope we can try to finish those arguments, even though they may be tough, instead of just pushing them away.

Project: Love, Me

Project: Love, Me is just one of the projects I'd like to complete in 2011. While it's already January 9th and I haven't began, I still hope to catch up. Soooo... what is it?? Here is an excerpt from The Project's blog.

… a year of discovering YOU!

Join Suzy of SuzyQ Scraps & Kami of Ziggle Designs in an exciting & touching project 52 with weekly prompts designed to help you share your personal journey … 52 messages & stories from you to future generations … a collection for your loved ones … signed, “Love, Me.”

Project: Love, Me is much more than an “All About Me” album. It is about you, of course — but not a laundry list of facts or answers to simple questions, or even a chronological history. It’s an adventure of self-discovery as we focus on specific themes and delve deep with prompts to help you get to the heart of who you are and share that with others.

In addition to the weekly prompts posted here on the Project: Love, Me blog, Suzy & Kami will release a new collection of digital scrapbooking products every month in 2011, designed specifically to complement that month’s theme and weekly prompts — complete with a full kit, cluster element pack, word art pack, and template pack — everything you’ll need to easily scrap along with each week’s prompt!
