Thanks to Emilie Ahern for posting the inspiration for the journaling on this layout at her blog. I took her starts and personalized it for myself. The patterned paper on this layout is MAMBI. I used foam adhesive to pop the top photo and the large question mark up a little. The ribbon on the left side of the page is a very plush velvet. The title is Cricut (George). TFL!
Journaling reads: I am: Gretchen, red-head extraordinaire. I think: that Barack Obama is going to be our next president. I know: that nothing is more important than family. I want: to go back to school. I have: wicked communication skills. I dislike: people who are happy in their ignorance. I miss: the simpler times of being a college student and having less financial responsibilities. I fear: that I will never have children. I feel: like some days I’m just spinning my wheels and not making any progress in my life’s journey. I hear: that if you do what you love then you’ll never work a day in your life. If that’s true, I need to figure out what I love to do so that I never have to “work” again. I smell: coffee and oatmeal from my morning breakfast. I crave: a better life. I cry: every time I watch the tv show Ghost Whisperer. When the spirits finally leave this world for the afterlife it gets me. I had to stop watching the show because of it. I usually: print my own photos because I love having control of the printing process. I search: for ways to make myself a more patient person. I wonder: what we’re going to do when my parents visit us next weekend. I regret: some of the hurtful things I’ve said because I didn’t think before I spoke. I wish: that I could figure out why I have such a hard time losing weight. I love: scrapbooking, reading, and spending time with family and friends. I care: more about what others think about me than I probably should. I always: drink coffee in the morning. It’s my favorite morning wake-up. I worry: about the big picture but I try not to let the small things get to me. Usually I’m pretty laid back. I am not: sure why it’s taking us so long to make a trip to Chicago to see our new nephew. I’m anxious to see the new little guy in person! I remember: how important it is to say “I love you” every night to Eric before we go to bed. I believe: that scrapbooking is an important way to share myself and my life with future generation. I sing: usually when I’m alone but if the mood strikes me I’ll sing in public. I don't always: wash my hair in the shower. It’s my secret. I’ll condition each time I take a shower but I don’t always use shampoo. I argue: very infrequently but when I do you can be damn sure it’s either something I’m passionate about OR you’ve really irritated the hell out of me. I write: from my heart and about things that matter to me, in a style that’s like the way I speak. Yes, I really talk like this. If you met me in person, this is pretty much my conversational voice. I win: most of the time when I play trivia games. I loose: a lot of self-confidence when I have to spend time with women who are thinner and have more money than me. I listen: to what people are saying so that I can tell what they’re feeling. I am happy: because I am surrounded by love.
