Full Heart

Some say that scrapping is better than therapy - if I'm having a rough time and I get a chance to sit down and scrapbook for myself, it sure makes me feel good to reflect on past memories and take a chance to count my blessings! I started this page shortly after Ghostbuster died - I had it all done, just needed to glue it all together and print up my journaling, but I just never got around to it. This summer has been so busy and what little creative time I could find has been spent making Birthday cards and other non-scrapbooking items. Anyway, at the end of last week I was feeling really drained and then due to David's migraine and then an allergic reaction, we ended up just relaxing and staying home for the weekend. That down time gave me a good chance to finish up my 'therapy' piece.

I've been wanting to use this title since I saw it way back in the spring of 2008, but then I got pregnant again, so I wanted to wait until I could include the new baby. As soon as I took this picture back in March I knew it would be perfect and I've been wanting to do this page since then, I'm glad I finally got a chance!

My journaling is hidden behind the picture - pull it out by the attached Cocoa Edge Anchor. It just talks about how many times someone tells me that I sure have my hands full, but I love every one of my kids and wouldn't change it for the world!



Products Used: Perfect Day paper, Fancy Cuts Botanicals, Field Trip Alphabet, Hodge Podge Alphabet, Cocoa and Juniper brads, Colonial White ribbon, Moon Doggie WOTG guide (left page).

I got a couple more pages done this weekend so be watching for more to be shared this week - it's good to be doing pages again!
