What a great concept! I have written letters like this, but I definately will create a LO like this in my childrens books. We spend so much time writing about our kids, and less about ourselves...I would LOVE to read who my mother was, at my age.....
this goes to my faves, too!!! Love that you did this and it is great to find that we have sooo much in common!!! I need to remember that I should do one of these....great work!
This is great! You are so beautiful!!!!!! I am going to have to lift this, it is so awesome and I would love to have something like this for my DD! PERFECTION!
Wow girl, that pic is gorgeous...certainly not too big! Fabulous page. Loved reading all about you, it was fun to see the things you have in common with someone and the things that are totally different. Your kids and you will love looking back on this page in years to come...what a fabulous legacy for your children and grandchildren.....to really know the person you are at different stages of your life. Great concept.
LOVE THIS!! I can TOTALLY relate to atleast half of your list (probably more if I read it again)lol. But that pack rat stuff...oh girl, you'd cringe if you saw my house...scarier than a flying bug!lol. Seriously!
I LOVE THIS! I am in awe of how well you know yourself and what it took to do this. I'm slowly trying to do this myself, and people like you help and inspire me greatly. And how cool are you for being able to get rid of stuff you haven't used in a few months?! GAH! Wish I could do that. And the big house and being spooked thing... totally me! LOL. Anywho, love this. Love learning more about you. :)
oh this is so cute and i learned some things about you that are so similar to myself...chuck e cheese pizza is the best and fashion and clothes...ugh...the same...great page and great pic of you.
Oh, I don't think that the photo is too big at all, it's gorgeous!! I loved reading the journaling, it's always fun to find out what you have in common with others......I think your kids will really love reading this when they are all grown up! Awesome page...into my favs!!
Oh Amanda! this is SOO inspiring!! I think everyone said that but I do just love it!! I have been trying to write one of these all about me pages since I first started digital but have never finished one!! LOL awesome candid picture for this! great work into my favs!
OMG! This is so incredible! I love everything about it! So nice to have for your kids!
Oh and I totally love Jars of clay, especially the little drummer boy they did for Christmas!
fantastic. and can i just say that i want to run home and do some BOM pages with some things i wrote up while driving a year ago. (um, yeah, driving--not really safe, probably, but i was stuck in rush hour. lol) This is fabulous!!
Wow! i love this - and I could just put my pic in there and call it a day -even the bit about windy days, people think I am crazy about that! Great job - love it!!!
WOW!! I'm in love with this layout!!!!!! Not only did I learn alot about you but I laughed outloud alot, mostly because we are more alike than I thought. THis is another one of my faves that I am going to copy. LOL. I hope you don't mind.
Not only is this a great page for your kids, but hey your friends love learning more about you as well, so thanks for sharing this!! Oh and btw, I didn't see any typos here!!! Great page!!
WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!! I love this page sooooo much! Beautiful pic, and beautiful coloring and texture on the pic. The journaling is completely rockin' (as usual) and very inspiring. We all need to be doing pages like this for our kids! It will be so fun for them and us to look back on in 10, 20, 30 or more years from now! into my favs for sure!
This is just great! I'm sure your kids will totally appreciate it. And, I love getting to know everyone on here through things like this. It's funny how much you have in common with people you've never met. The big pic of you definitely works on this one.
This is such a great idea! I love how you journaled exactly who you are. (And I'm SO with you on the taste/smell of beer thing!!) Beautiful photo!!! This will be so great for you and your kids to look back at years down the road.
Girl.... love all the random stuff!! And that is a phenomenal picture of you!!! I love learning more about people... I hope EVERYONE lifts this from you!!!
I LOVE this! I agree with Bcnatty that it would be sooo nice to read this in a couple of years!! GREAT page!!!!! (We have a lot in common) I think I saw a small typo in 'restaraunt' ?
*sigh*....three words...." you are good".... actually four .... "you are sssssooooo good". This is totally amazing and jumped into my faves without question. Love it all....title, photo (stunner!), tone, journaling, concept.
Great journaling!! This will be an awesome page to look back on in a couple of years to see how much you have changed...or stayed the same!! I'm gonna have to lift this idea...but then again...that shouldn't surprise you;) BTW...that's a great picture of you...love that you kept it big.
ok, ok... i know... it's a very larrrrrrgggge picture of me... but for some reason, it just worked that way with where my mind is. sort of up close and personal type thinking. i would love to think that my kids, by the time they are old enough to appreciate any of this to be able to look at these pages and really know me... really see who i was and how i've progressed. anyway... the journaling is a book... just some random stuff about me. now i need to get a good picture of will and do a similar page... and of course update them through the years. :)
JOURNALING: This is me. I am your mom. I am 32. I love to scrapbook. I hate rainy days. I love music while I’m driving or cleaning. I hate doing dishes. I love coffee with half & half and lots of sugar. I hate the taste, but love the smell of beer. I don’t wear perfume. Almost all of my shoes have at least a 2-inch heel on them. I love blue jeans. I love when the sunshine completely lights up the living room. Diamonds do nothing for me. I have no sense of direction and get lost or at least make a wrong turn several times a week. I get spooked very easily. I am niave. I love puppy dogs, but I totally misunderstand cats, therefore I’m a bit scared of them. I fell in love with your dad on the way to the restaraunt on our first date, not kidding. And, I loved his Jeep. I don’t really stress out about how much TV you watch. I live for mexican food. I love to shoot pool and I’m in fact pretty good at it. I can’t play a single musical instrument or any kind of sport. I’m very girly when it comes to hair, make-up and fasion. I hate all bugs, especially ones that fly. I love windy days... they are my favorite... wind relaxes me. I hate clutter and therefore do not “collect” anything. I like very modern and clean lines when it comes to decor. I love organization, but I’m not always that great at it. I love checklists. I love filling out forms and it really stresses me out if a “blank” is left blank. I love romantic comedies with happy endings. I can’t listen to classical music... I’ve tried. I love God. I love chocolate milk and usually drink at least 2 or 3 glasses a day... sometimes 4. I don’t know much about politics and sadly prefer it that way. Up until the past few years, my absolute favorite singer in the world was Tori Amos... I even had her sheet music played at our wedding... but I’ve since outgrown her. Now my favorites include Derek Webb, Jars of Clay, Norah Jones... oh, and I secretly love today’s top 40 music. I’m not a pack rat at all... if it hasn’t been used or worn in a couple of months, it gets given away... or thrown out. I don’t eat breakfast... but I almost always eat a huge lunch, but then I’m still full at dinner time, so that’s a pretty light meal for me. I miss smoking. I love Chuck-E-Cheese pizza. I don’t want a big house... mainly because I would get too spooked. I love BMWs, but I wouldn’t buy one... I don’t understand that type of purchase. I love, love, love to shop for clothes. I don’t own a set of China or fancy silverware, and probably never will. I love our house. I love being your mom. I love being 32. I love being Will’s wife. I love who God has made me.
(my gosh i hope there aren't any typos, but i'm sure there are. oh well.)
