Journaling: You are 39 months old. You are in love with Toy Story, and Buzz Lightyear is your hero (or, as you call him - Buzz Lightyou). The Wiggles are still popular and I have to sing the Fruit Salad song at bedtime. Or Baa Baa Black Sheep - although you've taken to requesting different colour sheep - tonight it was Baa Baa Yellow Sheep. You love to climb and you'll announce to me "I do gime-bing now!" or you set up an obstacle course in the lounge room and proceed to climb, jump, hop and tumble around. Sometimes you and I pretent to be dinosaurs with big long necks. Sometimes we load our "luggage" onto the couch, click our "seatbelts" in place and pretend to fly places - usually Wiggleworld. You're doing really great at swimming lessons. You can doggy paddle with help and do wonderful big jumps into the pool. Daddy took to rewarding you with a present after lessons and you've learnt: "Daddy, you got new besant for be?" Oops. Poor dad! You are such a little character.I have this layout on the Aussie Scrap Source blog at the moment. It uses seriously cute Paper Loft paper. As followers of my blog would know, I write regular notes to Jamie, outlining the things that he has been doing, and all his favourites. These letters often form the basis of the journaling on my layouts.
The neutral colours of the Slug Bug range worked really well with this heavy-journaling based page. And the simple background really allowed the monogram letters to have centre stage.
Have a great weekend!Kathie

Hi Kathie, I love how you put your letters on layouts. It makes me remember some of the things Ben used to do. I like how you used the big letters for his name.I must ask do you ever make a mistake with your journaling I am always making them and have to rewrite them?
Have a great weekend 29 today we're going to the local pool for a couple of hours should be fun.
Fantastic layout, I really like it. Great colours for a boy page. I've started to adopt your technique of writing letters to my children for my layouts. This year I plan on doing one a month for each of my children with a corresponding photo taken each time so at the end of the year we'll be able to look back and see their growth and all the things they did. Thanks for the ongoing inspiration.
I absolutelyy love this Kathie! Such a gorgeous design and the type of journalling that really means something right now and even more when you look back on it down the track - love it!
Hi Kathie,
Absolutely love your layouts, I think Jamie and his family in years to come, will treasure these pages, they will have a glimpse into what his life was like then and an understanding of the wonderful bond that you all share.
