Home Page: written down

Thank you for all the comments about my ‘mean girls’ page. So far so good, I am happy to say. This is a more positive page. It’s a celebration of discarding your boundaries about who you should be friends with and what kind of person you wouldn’t like. Saturday dinner was a perfect example. There were seven of us, aged from 18 to 50ish, different backgrounds, different careers, different nationalities and ethnicities. Variety is truly the spice of life!

Was hanging out the washing today and it occured to me that there won’t be many more days before it is back to the tumble dryer for the winter. It is also the last day of the school holidays for us today – hidden journalling about my feelings as the kids go back to school, this will be my DDs last year.

When I saw this dove’s baby was almost as big as her,
I knew she would soon fly away. My nest is empty but
I have a wonderful full life, oh but that’s another page.

I’m working on putting the pages on writtendown.

Enjoy your day.

Here’s the intro page to my ablum. I’ve stuck with the basic design using the 7gyspie’s product along with buttons and primas, and perhaps a little ribbon.

Today’s learning point – Sometimes even type B personalities have type A days.

Basically I am normally a pretty chilled person, and if something happens that annoys me I let people know how I feel and move on. Something is going on at the moment that is bugging the heck out of me, but I am unable to let people know how I feel (because it would make the situation 100x worse) so I am having to bite my tongue and say nothing.

So this is making me irritated and stressed, and I am generally not having a good day LOL. I resent that type A people (stressy and aggressive) are making me exhibit stressy behaviour, and making me have a type A day instead of my usual type B.

It is just as well it is a hidden journalling day, as I have vented big time behind the flap, and it is a lot less controlled and rational than the explanation I just typed here! Hopefully venting here and in my journalling will let me go back to my normal self tomorrow.

I wanted to use the corners for the photo but didn’t like the color so I inked with them the ranger pad in blue. Then they were too dark for the photo so I put the clearn sparkle dots and surprise.. the blue came through!

Just love seeing your pages and learning about you! my ‘Learn’ for Day 3 is that sometimes when something is very irritating, taking a walk and getting a Starbucks is the only solution!

My title page – have been really GOOD – and stuck with using my existing stash!! Please give me a clap – ‘cos it hasn’t been easy!

I’m just trying to get caught up…sorry for all the posts in a row! The ghost letters say “I won” because I won a scrapbooking contest at my LSS. The prize was $20 in-store credit. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything that I REALLY wanted. Isn’t that the way it always is? When I don’t have money, I can find tons of things I want! Well, I finally ended up purchasing some things I think I will use, but I don’t have any immediate plans for them. Maybe I will force myself to use them sometime this month so I don’t feel like such an idiot! ;-)

The yellow roses look much better IRL…well, the photo does! Unfortunately, the deer came and ate these roses the day after I took the photo! Ah…nature!
