I am so not feeling this one, can't think of any way to scrap it that doesn't feel stupid. :unsure:

Oh Valerie Sweetie, there is no need to feel stupid.... I have thought about it long time too

here is mine
Journaling is:
After my hubby left me 3 years ago, I was brocken. I only cryed, didn't get anything done and didn't want to live. If there wasn't my boys, I don't know what would have happened. With time, the help of the lord and the support of my family I learned slowly stand up again. At the beginning I thought I would never again laugh and would never find a reason to be happy. But hey, a brocken woman can do much! I learned to get my life back together and now I live for my kids and my hobbies and most times I feel great about it.

Very heartfelt journaling, Claudi. The phrase worked well on your layout. Thanks for sharing!

I haven't tackled this one yet. Maybe today...

This is fantastic, I've been wondering how to do this one myself. Great journaling. Oh Valerie Sweetie, there is no need to feel stupid.... I have thought about it long time too

I think we all have prompts that stump us more than others... What's cooking is one of mine, as I rarely (read... EVER! :) take pictures of my (rather non-existent) cooking!

I'm stuck on "This year I am" because I never scrap about me and I'm struggling how to scrap that of the kids without putting words in their mouth. I'm sure I'm over thinking it!

Oh I love the different takes on this. Claudi, your journaling is awesome. So honest.

Love the literal take page too. Only a mom with little ones could come up with something like that, lol!

Ok, I'm starting to brew some ideas.

Great pages everyone.

Here's mine.
I found it a very hard challenge, but I love how my page came out after trying 4 or 5 times.

I'm not one to scrap very personal 'feelings' (and if I did I wouldn't post it anywhere), so my LO is about my holiday not being so relaxing, like holidays should be, but still a good break from work... kind of along the lines that something may be broken but it's not completely useless...

I scrapped my daughter's first happy meal. LOL That's my husband's idea of cooking. :) Felt good to scrap that considering she is now 12. ;)

The one I am struggling with most is my travel bucket list. It happens to be in the square I am working on to fill the pattern but I'm at a loss. I have places I want to travel but a bucket list (to me) means things I am going to work at doing. My desired travel destinations are just fleeting wishes, not things I am shooting for.

I took it to mean that if life breaks you, keep going, you still have lots to offer type thing....
