{ Thank Goodness for Saturdays }

Once again I finished my LO for the UDS contest at the very last minute. And once again I have a LO that I otherwise would’ve put off and maybe never done. I knew that I needed to start adding journaling to the pages in Jacob’s album even though I HAVEN’T run out of great lyrics to use. I’m glad this contest gave me the little push I needed. I think this is the first of many LOs with real journaling on them. I found out that I can just write and not worry about how it’s going to sound to someone else reading it (yep, even in a contest) and I decided to not even go back over it and move things around or re-word because I liked something about the fact that it was just what came from the heart. I’m sure I’ll never be as eloquent as Leeandra and some of the many talented journalers in this contest (that probably requires reading more books and poetry and who has time for that) but ya know what, I actually needed MORE than 40% of the page to write all the thoughts and feelings that I really wanted to include in this LO. Who’da thunk?! Maybe I’ll have to conquer my next personal scrapping challenge of doing an actual 2-page LO.

I got to hang with Braelynn and Selah for a few hours last night too and we had so much fun. We walked to the park and Braelynn played for about half an hour which was still not long enough. She kept put 1 finger in the air and say ’1 more time’. Too cute! Of course I got a few pictures so hopefully I’ll do some scrappin’ today. These were just a few of my favorites. :) Had to gussy ‘em up a bit cuz they’re too precious not to add a little doodlin’ and pretty pink flowers. Found these in the tribute kit by Dani Mogstad. LOVE her stuff. :) Off to go play with Kylie over at my mom’s. It’s a gorgeous day so I’ve gotta get outside for awhile. I love Saturdays! :)
