The Story of our Life: My Wish

I made this layout earlier in the week, but wasn’t sure I wanted to share it or not. For those who know me, know that this journaling came hard for me to write – much less share with others. The more I look at it, I like it. I originally created it for Treasured Scrapbooking’s Treasure Hunt contest – but have come to realize that this layout is more for me than any contest. Here are the requirements for the layout:

Challenge requirements:
- Create a ONE page layout (paper only - no digital) CHECK
Layout must include:
- at least one circle (3 inches or bigger) CHECK
- torn paper CHECK
- only ONE photo CHECK
- journaling....and the journaling must include "I wish someone had told me that..." It can be as long or as short as you like but must include those words. CHECK

And here is my layout. The very tippy-top 1/16” got cut off when I scanned it in, but you get the drift.

Journaling:

I wish someone had told me that we wouldn't have forever with you. I would have done things differently. I would have held you more and cleaned less. I would not have worried about bad photos like this one. Instead, I would have taken millions more of us together, snuggling and just being happy together.

So, what do you think? You likey? I actually just got the papers in the mail this past week. I had ordered them from A Million Little Things. I love this store. Jill, the owner, is such a sweetheart & keeps her store stocked with all the new items in scrapbooking. For this layout, I used Bo Bunny’s newly released Kitchen Spice Collection. I love it…

This week is going to be busy. I am leaving Wed for Dallas (going to METROCON with my girlfriends), and I have a bucket-load to get done before then. Trips to the vet. A couple of projects. The painter is coming back. You know, fun stuff!

xxoo,
