Challenge #6 - On Motherhood
Has it really been a month since we've last blogged or scrapped?! That's ok - that means we were out enjoying every minute of our summer and spending quality time with our families :) Since we took a break from scrapping, I'm going to make our next challenge very easy.
Back history on how I came up with this challenge. In a recent discussion with my mom, I was surprised to find out that she knows how to fix a leaky faucet & change a broken garage door. All because she was forced to learn when she was a Navy mom and raising us 3 kids by herself. She told me of the frustrations and challenges she had being a single mom for years at at time.
It got me thinking. How cool would it be to record our reflections on motherhood. You could scrap about your own mom, a mother figure or being a mom yourself.
Here is mine:
Journaling reads: "Half the time I don't know what I'm doing. At times I get so frustrated. Sometimes I doubt myself. A few times I have cried. But when I get one of these smiles, totally worth it. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Sept 2009"

(even more than the last time i said that - haha). i love the pic, the letters (basic grey, new SC kit?), the feel. you captured motherhood very simply here. totally tearing up! you're too advanced, so how about i just lift it now & post - hee hee. LOVE this jen! i know it's been awhile since we've all scrapped, but you've always got the touch, no matter how long you go without scrapping. without a doubt, you are an amazing mom - just look at vince's face for proof :) LOVE YOU!! xoxo

Seriously, the very thought of motherhood gives me warm fuzzies! This challenge is so heartfelt. You are brilliant, Jenny. I can't wait to get started. You have such a knack at this. It's Simple, Thoughtful, Creative, and Classic. And I love the "rue de Paris" page!
