This is March’s Write.Click.Scrapbook layout. I used all The Girls’ Paperie products. I love her new lines so much. This month’s theme is to finish an incomplete project. I decided to interpret it personally and chose a project from my life. I’ve always wanted to be in good shape, exercising, and eating well. In October 2010, I finally started to tackle it and I am still facing it head on. So here’s me completing this project of getting healthy for life. (Ok maybe it will never be complete, per se, but it’s fully underway.)
The Journaling Reads:
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to lose weight. I’ve been trying and dieting and whining my whole life. And then suddenly this year I decided enough was enough. If I was going to do this now is the time. For once and all. It’s time to give it all I have and then see what happens. To try with all my being. Put in a truly honest effort in all ways. It’s been only a few months but I am already more than halfway there. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you truly set your mind to it. No more try, it’s time to do.
Catalyst One Hundred and Twenty-Eight is: What are you (or would you be) giving your children that you wish you’d had?
Journaling Reads:
When I was a little girl, my mom always worked. When I got home from school, she wasn’t there and it made me sad. I vowed back then that I would always be home for my kids when they came home and wanted to talk about their day. My mom was wonderful but I did wish she was around more.
This was for an old Crate Paper sketch. Something a bit funky for me.
Journaling Reads:
My sweet boy, there are days where you try my patience in all possible ways but then I look at that amazing smile, those shining eyes and I realize that what you give me is so much more than any frustration. You always teach me that love is above all. I love you so much and thank you.
This was made for a Crate Paper sketch contest two months or so ago.
Journaling Reads:
I’ve never had a boy who likes to suck his thumb before and even though everyone likes to warn me about future orthodontist and how I should start looking for cures. Cover it with something spicy but not harmful someone said. And you have managed to infect your thumb twice already which means medicine and gauze and lots convincing you to keep them on, it’s all a lot of a pain but when I watch you, I can see how it calms you down and makes you happy. So go ahead my boy, enjoy every moment of it. I love you.

Journaling Reads:
Having two kids is a lot of work. More noise, bigger mess, screaming, fighting, wrestling, and complaining. But then there are moments like this one. Small, tiny gestures of love that take your breath away. Like putting an arm over his shoulder as you watch Daddy mow the lawn. So simple and small and yet so significant. This is when my heart melts and I completely relax and realize it’s all so worth it.

I did this one a few months ago, using a Crate Paper sketch.
Journaling Reads:
A few months ago, I bought you a pair of shoes. I thought it would be fun to have your own. I put them somewhere safe. As it turned out, it was too safe. When we packed to go camping I couldn’t find them. I looked for hours and then gave up. I figured I’d lost them. And then you found them under a box of diapers. You immediately opened the box and asked me to put them on. i love you.
