first after reading everything - WOW........ i just cant stop gazing at the house behind the words........ its amazingly beautiful & leaving must be tough - but i love that you are moving to a "paradise".......... moving is hard no matter how you stack it up........ and i honestly had never heard this song before - but oh my gosh do i love what you have done here - the staggered text - the color of the photo - i dont know i am parked here for a while!!!!!!!!!
WOW! Beautiful house and of course great lo! This gave me chills because my husband is seriously considering a career move this summer which would mean we have to move. I might have to scraplift this idea if that happens. Thanks!
Your ability with text placement & scaling of words is amazing, how you use the font & text as its own art element. And, yes, I am another one who has missed the layouts! I've always been sentimental so I really relate to this layout too-move toward the positive, yet so much reflection on that move. I believe in songs finding us too...especially in times when needed.
I agree with Amanda (speaking personally as a hider, hehe) It's great to see a new lo....and wow!! How great is this??? I am so sad for you though...this house is gorgeous, but I'm glad that You've "faced" it and have come to "terms" with it. Great pic and you'll have one heck of a memory!
Wowie! First of all, this house is beautiful. I'm sure it's difficult to leave. (Although moving to "paradise near family" certainly should help :) ) I really, really like this. That picture is beautiful and I love the staggered text all over the layout. This is just beautiful. :)
this is absolutely stunning!!! i was beginning to think you had deserted us... i have so missed your lo's! just like H@nN@... you go into hiding, then you break out with something like this!?! THIS is going straight into my favs!! i absolutely LOVE the way you did this journaling... it is exquisite!!! & love the sort of faded picture of the house. OMG... awesome job on this!!! (nice to have you back!)
This made me teary eyed. You know I WILL miss this home. It isn't even MY home, but I've thought about it. I've always proudly told my friends about it and showed off your site when you had it. I always felt amazed and kind of enchanted while visiting. Most importantly, though, are the memories...they will be forever.
Ok...this one took on a life of its own. I planned on doing a collage of all the things we've done with our house, but as I looked at the HUNDREDS of pictures that I have it became a daunting task and I was also very sad. So the picture is from the early 1900's....I didn't necessarily want the text to be easy to read so I didn't worry about how well it showed up. We bought this house in 1997 and it is our DREAM house. But times change, neighborhoods change, priorities change and we have made the tough decision to "move on." Luckily our situation isn't quite as "deep" as the lyrics to this Rascal Flatts song, but when we were seriously trying to make a decision about moving this song kept "finding" us. I believe in signs from a higher power, guardian angels, whatever...and this was one of them. All is good though...we are moving closer to family, to a place that could be considered paradise. If this wasn't long enough...the lyrics.... I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons Finally content with a past I regret I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness For once I'm at peace with myself I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long I'm movin' on
I've lived in this place and I know all the faces Each one is different but they're always the same They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it They'll never allow me to change But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone There comes a time in everyone's life When all you can see are the years passing by And I have made up my mind that those days are gone
I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't Stopped to fill up on my way out of town I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't I had to lose everything to find out Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road I'm movin' on
