CATALYST 9 - JUST WAIT LONGER




This week's catalyst is about "What do you feel pessimistic about?"

Journaling Reads:
I used to get pessimistic about everything. I felt that if things could go wrong, they would. Then, I realized that with time things started to get better and look less scary. So I learned to tell myself that if I feel down, I just have to wait a little longer and, with time, all of it passes.

ROBOT




I was one of the lucky ones to receive beautiful papers from Around the Block for being on the AMM DT.

This is the simplest LO i made with them. My DH thinks it's too simple but I like it so I wasn't willing to change it. The journaling is about how David played "robot" when DH and I were at school in the parent-teacher conference.

Apologies for the photo. I have tired 4 times and will try again tomorrow to take a clearer one.

POSTCARDS




From a Graphic45 spotlight for AMM.

I love these papers so much!! I don't normally do vintage stuff but they inspired me to do so. I took photos from our recent trip to Santa Cruz and made them look old and vintagy. I then made postcards out of each of them and stamped over them etc.

MY ANGEL




From a Graphic45 spotlight for AMM.

I have this photo of David from bedtime that I love and I just wanted to capture it and my words only so I did something simple. I cut out clouds and put them on with dimensional tape. I then added wings to the photo and put a little "halo" over the A of Angel. The journaling is about how much fun we had that day and how funny and sweet David is.

A BOY AND HIS ANT




From a Rusty Pickle spotlight for AMM.

This is a little children's story I wrote using David's photos. David's been really into ants lately so I wanted to commemorate that. I also painted the papers as if a kid drew on them with crayons. The story goes like this:

There once was a little boy named David who was friends with an ant. They did everything together. They went everywhere together. They were friends. But one day, the little boy lost his ant. He looked everywhere. Desperate, he went to the chicken and asked if she'd seen his friend. He then went to talk to Mrs. Pig but she hadn't seen David's ant either. He checked every tree and talked to the other ants he saw along the way. He looked for hours and hours. He walked all over, searching. He turned every stone he could find to see if his friend was stuck or playing hide-and-seek. He walked up the stairs to the house where they were staying to check if he took a nap. But the ant was nowhere. He wasn't sleeping or hiding. David was tired. Just when he was about to give up, he decided to check one more place and there he was! He greeted his friend. And finally the boy and his ant were united once again. David was really happy.

MY HEART MELTS




From a Rusty Pickle spotlight for AMM.

The journaling is about how my heart melts each time I see these photos of David. I cannot believe I got so lucky as to have such a beautiful, kind and generous son. I am so blessed.

CATALYST EIGHT - GUILT-LESS PLEASURES




This week's catalyst is about "What is your guilty pleasure and why does it make you feel guilty?"

Journaling Reads:
I spent the last week thinking about my guilty pleasures and kept coming up empty over and over again. I have lots of things that I shouldn’t be doing but somehow I just don’t feel guilty about any of them.

DAILY DAVID - DAY 125




Today, I was trying to get David to cleanup and getting more and getting agitated as he ignored me. After I got more and more frustrated, he walked over to me and gave me a big hug. He said, "No angry, Mommy, I love you." It was really all I needed. I immediately felt better.

This is David showing me his "big muscles." More like elbows ...



and this one is just fun
