Naomi sent over another layout using items from the July kit (a few left!) she was inspired by the kit's calm colors i saw this layout after i had just seen my father my heart was weary with worry i read Naomi's email and opened up the image and all I saw and all I felt was "He loves you" and i felt calm looking at those sweet children thinking about how life is precious, children are precious, we are ALL precious. and that's the beauty of scrapbooking we cherish our photos, our tiny snapshots of eternity and we decorate the photos with our favorite scraps and bits and bobs scrapbook helps us to preserve the happy moments, the silly moments and sometimes even the sad moments. don't forget my lovelies... don't forget WHY you scrap... sometimes its easy to get caught up in all the glimmer of this industry and sometimes its easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to others out there but we are all women (well most of us, hehe) and we are all doing it for the same reason to hold onto those chubby baby legs and smiling first school days to hold onto those wedding day butterflies and graduation hopes to hold onto the good times. remember that, the next time you look at a layout and have a sinking in your heart and a tug at your mind and the temptation to wonder why you can't do "this" or do "that" remember WHY you scrap and then do it. xoxo, Doe.
