Bobbi, I feel so blessed that I got to know you through scrapvivor!
You are a true joy and it shows in every layout you do! Your parents are so so blessed to have you (you can save this and show them the next time you order a million $$ cake for someone!LOL). This is such a beautiful layout! You da' bomb...ok, I tried to sound young and cool...forget it. Your the best bobbi...don't change for anyone...always be you!!!
Bobbi, great lo. And you're right, things happen in life that you just have to deal with "moment by moment". Young one, you are wise beyond your years!
What beautiful journaling. I will remember this bit of wisdom as well. And you are right -- sometimes we find it in the least likely places! What a treasure. Thanks for sharing!
It's amazing how when your heart and ears are open, you can hear a mantra anywhere. Something that may seem silly and meaningless - sitcoms - turn around and touch you and then grab you. Someone else said you are wise beyond your years. If you use and learn this now, you will go very far. It's a touching story and beautiful layout. Congratulations! Thanks!
OMG----this is a fabulous, fabulous lo! I love the journaling---the message *and* how you did it---all those fonts are fabulous!!! You did such a great job on this lo! I am in awe. TFS. Becky
Bobbi.. you just amaze me. I know exactly what episode you mean, I also saw it on Nick at Nite, and it totally gave me goose bumps when reading your journaling. You are sooo mature beyond your years!
Dang, this was a tough layout. Everything I did to it, I changed at least once before it was finished. The cardstock is altered to the point of being patterned paper. (I got to go outside and sling paint around :P) I cut out slits in my photo (yep, self timer pic) and slid the paint chip under so it wouldn't be overwhelming. The 'moment' in the bookplate was double embossed, and I used more fonts than I can count, lol
The journaling reads:
When the sticom Rosanne came to Nick at Nite, I heard repeatedly how bad it was. Naturally, I needed to know why. So I watched. First, a few episodes a week, then every night. But who could have known that this television show would give me an indispensible piece of wisdom. In an episode near the end of the series, the Healeys have a baby girl. And in the plot, this baby nearly dies. The father of the wife takes her husband outside and says to him: I know it's hard. things are hard all the time, and when stuff like this happens, you just have to take it a moment at a time. First you take it second by second. Then minute by minute. Soon it's day by day. And eventually, you look back and say, you know, I got through that. I don't know how, but I did. I remember hearing that and thinking, wow, that makes so much sense. Several months later my grandfather died. And although it was hard, I found myself saying, Bobbi, just take it second by second. Then minute by minute. Soon it's day by day. And eventually, you'll look back and say, you know, I got through that. I don't know how, but I did. I've drawn strength from that simple phrase over and over again. Moment by moment. My mantra.
I'm sure that in that particular episode, Dan's phrasing is a little different, lol. But that's the part that stuck with me..and I felt like it was something I needed to scrap, in case I ever forgot.
