Hi! PP is 7 Gypsies and Rusty Pickle. I used an autumn leaves folder and painted it with MM paint so make it green like the background paper. I used the Packing Tape Transfer for the title (thank you Rene V Campa for the instructions and inspiration), Art Warehouse stickers and Paper Perfect paper to make the paper the photo is mounted on. The journaling is inside the folder and reads: <br><br>The days seem to be flying by. No matter how hard I try I cannot slow them down. Every day that I pass it by it screams at me “it’s almost time”. I want to grab it, tear it, rip it, burn it. It doesn’t matter what I do, it is there mocking me. Making me face a reality that I am not prepared to deal with. <br> <br> I battle with it on a daily basis, begging for more time. With every tick of the clock and every turn of the page it makes my heart beat faster. I fight constantly, lately, to hold back the tears. To grasp every moment with you that I can. Sometimes my desperation turns to anger and I lash out at you. I don’t mean to. At other times I see a glimpse of what the future has to hold and I am filled with pride and a moment of comfort. Comfort, that is what I need. I need those small glimpses into the future. I need to know that when the time arrives it’s going to be OK. That I did my job. Those moments that don’t make it so hard for me to breathe. The moments that make me smile and I know that your are going to be all right.<br> <BR> I only have one year left until you are 18. My oldest child will be a legal adult. You will be old enough to make your own choices about your life. The days seem to go by so quickly. The calendar pages turn in the blink of an eye. You are entering the second phase of your life and I wonder…..Did I prepare you enough? Will you still turn to me in your time of need? Will you call me just to share a funny story? Will you miss me when we no longer see each other daily? I wonder about this and more all the time. <BR> Part of me just wants to smash the clock to stop time, to never let you go, that is my selfish side. The part of me that wants you to be that 3 year old little boy who adored his Momma so. The other part of me cannot wait to see the wonderful things that you will accomplish in your life. For I know, they will be great. Although, I may not always be with you there physically please know I will always be there with you in heart and spirit.<BR><BR> I am learning and growing with you now. It is not easy and I find myself stumbling off the path often. I have spent so much time preparing you for the world that awaits that I have forgotten to prepare myself for your departure out of my daily life. I realize how difficult I can be at times Please know that it is out of love and fear. It is my way of making sure you are prepared for all that life throws your way. You are a strong young man. Growing stronger in spirit every day. In my heart I know that you will be all right. It is the mother in me that wants to protect you always. I love you from the depths of my soul and my wish is for you to grow and prosper as a person. I want you to lead a fulfilling life, find happiness and love. I know you will do this. Letting go is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Please bare with me during this phase.<BR> <BR> If along the way you find yourself stumbling along the path, know that I will always be there to help lead you back. Maybe then we can find 5 minutes to just sit, talk and stop time.<br> <BR> With all my heart,<BR> <BR> MOMTFL
