What a Week!

I am exhausted...LOL!  I really had the best birthday, mainly because I have a great husband who totally went out of his way!  He gave me a fabulous party on Saturday night and invited my friends and family.  It was special to me to see everyone in one place and to see how much support I have in my life. 

I still can't believe I am forty.  And yes, I know that age is just a number, but I am having some mixed feelings.  I made a layout to explore what has been going on in my head and thoughts!

Here it is!


The journaling:


I used the packaging from the Jillibean Soup corrugated buttons to make the white papers on this layout!  They make great masks...



I sprayed and then cut the shape out, leaving some of the color around the edges...Then I layered it on my layout! It was fun and adds a unique shape!


I taught a class about the specifics of this layout over at My Scrapbook Nook...go check it out here!  I used the October kit to make this one!

So, here I sit, in need of finding myself at age forty.  Is that possible?  LOL!  Hopefully, I can use some life experiences to help this process along!

Happy Sunday!

Your layouts are always so beautiful & the heartfelt journaling just makes them amazing over the top. I really pray for you - some of what you are dealing with is just the result of a busy working mom living that multitasking fast paced life - but I so know what you mean & these milestones have a habit of bringing everything to a bubble that has been simmering. Take care of yourself - hugs Suz
