Journaling Junkie: Balance

My first challenge with JJ was...

In honour of Mother's Day ( however I know that we are not all mothers...)
journal about finding balance in your life. Include things like your "to do" list, time management tricks, how you prioritise what needs to get done, web sites or magazines you read that give you advice/helpful tips.

I thought I would turn the challenge on it's head a little and document something that I DIDN'T do.

Here is the journaling...
You ask me about things that I can’t remember, like exactly when you sat up or what your first food was. We’ll just call it the second child haze. Everything is noted in your baby book because I didn’t want to forget. Never doubt, though, that I have loved watching you achieve each milestone, and, though the details may have left my brain, each one is… Etched on my Heart.



This challenge closes on the 31st of May 2010 @ midnight GMT- Please leave a comment with the link to your URL on the May 17 post at the JJ blog or email Stefanie eyeore at telkomsa dot net

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Introducing Journaling Junkie

On a day when I was feeling a bit sorry for myself about the DTs at MSS and SML taking a break/being dissolved, the fabulous Shannon Morgan let me know about a DT call at Journaling Junkie. Fast forward a couple of weeks, and I am now a part of their fabulous team. Journaling generally inspires me more than art (because, as much as we don't like to admit it, it's the important part, right?), so this is a real treat for me. I can't wait to share with you my reveals for the upcoming challenges... but first I have to get to work! :)

Sew Many Layouts: The Girls

The last of my 7 day reveal is another sketch layout. When I was little, my mom always referred to my sisters and I as "the girls" and I caught myself doing it after the youngest was born. Isn't it funny how life comes full circle?

Day 6

Just a simple little card today based on a sketch by one of the girls over at Dixie Pieces. I did a summer theme to coordinate with a post that was to go up about the new design team term at My Scrapbooking Supplies, but unforeseen circumstances will not allow the DT to participate through the summer. Hopefully we'll be back in the fall!

Day 5: Baby's First Christmas

Out of season holiday challenge...

Day 4

This is my first layout using a banner. I love the way it turned out! Yet another good way to use your scraps...
