Cassie, I love this layout SO much, and I had to laugh while reading your great journaling. You are doing a fabulous job, and this weird setup won't last forever. Maybe those bells need to go, though, lol!
I was waiting for you to post this in the gallery so I could leave a comment and man!! I love it, all the paints in the middle, and your journaling is so spot on! I think I will make an "it just happened" excuse so I can keep it somewhere hehe!
