Okay, I know I said recently that I believe hand written journaling is best -- and here I've gone and done something different. I still do prefer hand writing to type, but in this case there was just a lot I wanted to say and sometimes the best way for me to get it out is just to sit down and type away. There will be no shortage of my handwriting in my children's albums. This one can be different.
What I learned on this layout:
- I am fickle. Where telling my own stories is concerned, as soon as I finish something I look at it and see a bunch of other directions I might have gone. The answer to that (the way to satisfy that feeling in myself) is to simply do more.
- Maybe everyone out there already knows this, but there is a product called Art Accentz tacky tape that is just great for little strips of cord and ribbon. I bought it on advice from a very helpful woman at Recollections, (which, btw is going out of business) thinking "yeah, okay whatever ..." But I'm very glad that I did. Made super easy work of the ric rac, here.
- I decided the next long note I write like this will be tucked into a little library pocket. Its own tidy little spot. (next time)
It's not easy for me to photograph these layouts. It looks crooked, which it's not. A close-up of the whole page is in my gallery at two peas, or here in my photo album.
