Me – AMM DT Challenge

I’ve always wished I knew my parents as people so I could know all about
their childhood, their dreams, their fears, etc. I feel like they know
all about us but we rarely know about them. One of my biggest goals is
to have a few days of personal 1-1 time with each parent so I can get to
know them as the person they are and I will be crushed if, God forbid,
something happens to them before I get to do this.



So I wanted to make this challenge all about the layouts you will leave
to your kids, grand kids, your loved ones. The things about you that
make you uniquely you. It can be superficial stuff, fun stuff, serious
or sad stuff. Whatever you want. If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to
do hidden journaling. Cathy Z. has a section in her book about how
important it is to journal yourself for the other people in your life.



So here are the rules:
1. make a layout about you
2. use journaling spots, if you don’t have them, make them like i did
with stamps
3. handwrite (it’s ok, i hate my handwriting too but this is all about
giving the generations after you a way to know you and your handwriting
is a part of that)
4. use a layout size you don’t usually do. if you’re a 12×12’er do a
8.5×11 or a 6×6 or even an odd size like 10×7



Remember, this is not about making the prettiest layout with the latest
products. This is all about the journaling. I know there are those of
you out there who feel like they can’t write well or they don’t know
where to start. Just remember that your great-grand children won’t care
about any of that. They will be delighted to have any piece of you.



I did an 8×12. I purposefully left it plain to emphasize that it’s all
about the words.
