Well......
It took awhile to figure out where I was going - but it did come together as I envisioned.
Since I was very small I questioned everything.
I used to drive my mom bonkers - ANGELA!, my mom would say -
Just have FUN! Don't question EVERYTHING!
But Mom....
Why do birds fly.
Why is the sky blue.
Why are we even here?
{that was the BIG one - the BIG QUESTION}
That is why I adore this SONG!
My mom took me to a very wise man and he told me what I needed to hear-
.....simply to do our very best with the Gift we have been given.
This thing we call LIFE.
I can say for certain - just like all of you it certainly has thrown me one lesson after another!
I still exist in constant question mode- drives some people in my life nuts - but that's just me!
Life has become a novel unwinding -
soul searching and questioning has taught me so much.
I am going to write it for my children.
This is the start of that "novel."
Pictures
Quotes {of course}
Proof of God's existence in my life
Lessons Learned
Opinions and Viewpoints created
My Faith
All of it will be within these pages for those I love to have always and forever!
This book is for all of you....
A book of insight - proof - lessons learned...
All of it from your Mom's perspective.
Life is FULL of different viewpoints.
Within these pages are some of mine.
Lifting the quote tab you will peek into the day my life changed forever.
A certain someone came along.
You can pull it out and read one of my favorite bible verses.
I am going to continue that feel through each page.
Time well spent. A piece of me for my boys to have always

Angela all of this made perfect sense to me. I'm a questions kind of person too and I'm really bad about putting 'logic' into everything even if that logic makes no sense. hah. I love your post and page. Both are so full of feeling and not obligation (if that makes any sense. hahah)
This is gorgeous, Angela! Your boys will cherish this always!
Thanks for starting the hop off with such a beauty of a project! :D
This is so beautiful!!! What a treasure for your family!
Oh my gorgeousness Angela!
This is fantastic and gorgeous!
I dont know how long it took you to make this but it would take me oh about 14 months!! ha!
Thanks so much for being YOU!
Ohhhh MY LANDS!!!! Angela........that is the sweetest, most touching memory keeper!!! How very cherished and special this will be.......the Mama's Love inside you just pours out to be embraced by all!!! I hear ya about the questioning....I think it's a healthy part of who we are!
love your book - can't wait for this kit!
OH Angela! what a special book you've made for your boys, not to mention how totally rocking you are at scrappin!!! love love love this idea for an album, and may make one myself!!!
It is not just a book but a TREASURE that will someday reveal more of your life to your boys than you ever imagined. That's what got me started scrapping. My sister bought me this little accordian album, all brown and empty. I started a project that honestly changed my life. I filled the pages with my childhood and learned things from my Dad that I had never even thought about. That's a treasure.
Love your handwriting and your message, Angela. Thanks so much for the opportunity to be involved today...

very cool, wish I could see it up close
Hi Angela :)
I noticed that it looked like you used textured cardstock to stamp on..I prefer textured cs for other things, but I have been debating whether I would prefer smooth surfaces to textured cs when stamping...is this a preference for you?? I have not yet tried to stamp on textured so I was curious ( I should just try it lol), but wanted your opinion LOL ;0)
Angela, I think that the book you are writing for your boys is a wonderful idea! I know it is something that they and their children to follow will treasure for years to come!
Beautiful job! I hope you will share more as you proceed with it!!
Angela wonderful project! That is sure to be a treasure for them now & in the future.
I just finished the blog hop & it was a great inspiration. Thanks for hosting.
