February is my month at A
Million Memories and I loved this kit!
Journaling Reads:
i love playing with you
but i also love watching you and daddy play
almost as much
the way he tickles you
and the way you giggle
it just warms my heart and
makes me eternally thankful
for my wonderful family.
February is my month at A
Million Memories and I loved this kit!
Journaling Reads:
i love you.
we say these words a lot in our house.
i say it to David. he says it to his daddy.
his daddy says it to me. david says it to me.
and i say it to his daddy.
in our family, we say i love you very often.
but, for the first time, you said it to someone else.
someone who is not our family.
you told your friend Joseph that you loved him.
i love that David. I love that you’re so kind and generous.
and so loving.
i hope you always stay this way.
I promised too many people that I’d take some pregnancy shots. I hate
them but here it is just cause I promised. And here are some with the
little boy.
It’s been a while since I had some flowers. I think I am going to buy
them more often. Feeling happy in general but sad about the sadness
around me.
This week’s creative therapy catalyst is: When
was the last time you were up all night?
Here’s my text:
The last time I stayed up all night on my own accord was in 1997. I was
living in New York and my husband (then boyfriend) was still at school
in Pittsburgh. We were talking over the phone and computer all night. At
the time, I was taking a class on 3-Dimensional computer graphics and I
was drawing a trumpet for my class. I spent the whole night working on
that instrument and chatting with him. It still is one of my fondest
memories.
And the trumpet
turned out ok, too.
Welcome February.
Here’s David snuggling up to Daddy. We spent the morning getting some
coding done and then David and Jake played the Wii a bit while I worked
on my kit from A Million Memories.
Productive days are my favorite. As Jake watched the Superbowl at a
friend’s house and David napped, I finished working with my kit and felt
happy and satisfied. Some of my favorite layouts of all time.
Got some sad news today from friends. A lot of that going around lately
which makes me pensive and sad. More on this later.
A quiet-ish day today. We looked at some houses in the morning and
really rested the rest of the day. Here’s to David really relaxing.
Love him.
He finally decided to remove his band-aid last night. I couldn’t believe
it. I am so proud of him. And then this morning, he pooped in the toilet
for the first time! He’s growing up, my little one.
I woke up all sick this morning. The allergies are at an all-time high
and I can barely keep eyes open. I wish things would let up a little
bit…but oh well. The little one is still moving and all seems to be
well so that’s what matters in the end.
This week’s prompt was “when i look into my eyes, i see _______.”
This tag didn’t photograph well at all but I couldn’t figure out how to
fix it. It has a lot of techniques from my list. The bottom brown
section is flocked, there’s wax all over it which causes the blotches.
The brown color is alcohol ink. The butterflies are embossed with
glittery brown powder. And the stamping of course.
To me, the tree represents potential growth and opportunity. The
butterflies, too, represent future full of possibility which is what I see.
Relatively quiet day today. I found out that I am anemic which would
explain the crazy exhaustion I’ve been feeling. Iron pills, here I come.
This afternoon, my friend Jess came over with her son Beckett and we had
a lot of fun playing together and chatting. Nice to have a friend,
especially such and old and solid one. I need to do more of this.
Allergies are acting up tonight and my head is just one big bubble but
otherwise, all in all still quite peaceful. 2009 is great so far.
