Safe

I'm not really sure if I accomplished what I was going for here, I was trying to really show how in spite of the INSANITY of my life, in my marriage I always feel safe. I don't know, I like this but it's not exactly what I had in my head if you KWIM. Anyway, it's done so there it is.

I used a whole bunch of random stuff from life as well as a bunch of words cut from magazines. The whole thing is so NOT scrapbook safe but it's just for my "journal" all about me album anyway. Everything on this page represents things that stress me out or make me feel unsafe or scared.

I tore a page out of my day planner (to represent how busy I am) and one of out the checkbook register. Also there's a tag from one of my shirts, the top of our retirement fund statement, and part of the box from my husband's asthma medicine. I paper pieced a Christmas tree (we threw ours away last year and I'm not sure how we're going to afford one this year) and used two "o" stickers and an "l" sticker to make a pair of glasses, b/c we've been thinking my son needs them and he's not on our vision insurance. The car is on there b/c we've been hearing weird sounds from the engine, and the santa hat represents my stress about not having enough money to buy gifts and things for Christmas. The picture of my boys really has to do with how much they trust me and count on me, I find motherhood to be very overwhleming. And all the words talk about various parts of my life that don't always fit into my schedule or that make my life more complicated. The vellum envelope contains a "Things to Do" list with just a small number of the things I need to do, want to do, hope to do. I journaled around the items to kind of explain them all.

Around the picture of me and my husband I used word stickers that had a more peaceful feel to them, and on the bottom is a quote that says "When a wife has a good husband, it is easily seen in her face." I am so thankful for my husband!

I'll try to list the products used LOL:
Background patterned paper: Basic Grey
Other patterned paper (car and some of the words are cut from this): Danny O by Kay and Company
Vellum envie: Nostalgiques by EK Success
Stickers (clock, santa hat, and little boy face): I have no idea
Word stickers: mostly Making Memories
Alpha stickers (used to make glasses): American Crafts
Lots of stuff cut out of 11/06 Prevention magazine

Sorry for the rambles, thanks for looking at my page! :)
