I had the honor of being the December 2010 Guest designer for October Afternoon. This is one of the layouts I made for them.
Journaling Reads:
My sweet boy, I know that you will eventually talk and tell us everything on your mind but for now I have to try and guess or observe you very closely so I can attempt to deduce what you’re thinking or what you want. On any day, this is hard and I can’t wait until you can articulate your own wishes. But especially hard on days when I see you sad, pensive and frowning. I want to reach into your head and read all your sad thoughts so I can make them go away. I know you will soon talk so for now I just do what I can: hold you tight and kiss you.

This is so sweet. I love that even on your boy pages you still put flowers on them. Like all the fonts you used in title, colorful and fun. I’ve always thought this when my kids were little too but now it’s more about our puppy we got and what is going on in his head when he looks at us or just sitting there staring into space, lol.
Boys are always slower, you made me think that I should do a layout about my son he has some delays and he was just diagnosed with Autism, and this layout made me think it’s ok to make a layout about his lack of sounds. Thanks
This is both beautiful and touching. Thanks for sharing.
This is simply stunning. Love the way you cluster your elements.
Lovely page! I always enjoy the way you use whitespace. Of course, the pics of your boys always touch me. The mixed fonts are amazing. Oh, and thanks for tiptoeing up behind me at the crop last week and reminding me to just glue it down! 😉
I love not only this page, but the moment/memory it captures. This is truly a TREASURE! Thanks for sharing with all of us in blogland!
