This is for NSBD all day challenge. When I saw I had to scrap me I thought OH NO, then I remembered these photos, but when I got them out I straed at them and kept thinking I love these photos, but they're not how I want to scrap myself because they don't feel like me, and then I had this idea.

Journalling:
For some reason these photos popped into my head the other Day. It’s about 5 years since I had them taken and after the make over (which I hated) and the photo shoot you have your photo viewing. The presentation was very clever and used various techniques to make you spend lots of money, but the thing she said to me that really sold the photos to me was when she said, “Your grand-children will be able to look at this and see how beautiful you were”, a million thoughts shot through my head and I spent a crazy amount of money on 8 photos to prove that I was once beautiful.

This album was shoved in a drawer and I had to dig it out to even be able to find these photos, but while looking at them it occured to me that this is not who I am, and it is definitely not how I want to be remembered. I am not a materialistic person, I don’t spend hours on what I look like every day and I don’t spend a lot of money on clothes or designer shoes. My family are my world and if I should be remembered for anything that’s want I would like it to be. I want my husband to think I was a good wife who always loved and valued him. I want my children never for a single second to doubt how much I love them and know that I would do anything for them. I want my family to be proud of the person I am the things I have achieved in my life. I want the children who I teach to respect me for my knowledge and my kindness.

I like dressing up as much as any other girl, but whether I am all dolled up in my best clothes or make-upless and barefoot, I want my family to remember what was in my heart. I am not what I look like!!!
