Hey there. Today has been kind of a tough day for me. I debated whether or not to even make a blog post. Today is the one year anniversary of my Mom passing away. My heart feels heavy and I just feel really, really sad, but I decided ultimately that it was better to share my words and remember Mom out loud. If you are not interested in reading this today I totally understand and hopefully I will see you again tomorrow! :)
My Mom was an amazing person. Kind and happy and so sweet to everyone. She always saw the good in every situation. She was a photographer and I think because of that she saw the world in a very different way than most folks. She found beauty in everything. My Mom and I were a team. She would often joke that I did as much raising of her as she did of me. Losing my Mom was one of the hardest things I have even been through in my life. I still have days where I can feel a physical ache and it hits me so hard that she is gone that I have to remind myself to take in a breath. She was my biggest supporter, my sounding board and my best friend. We talked every single day and to go from that to her just being gone has been a really tough transition for me. I miss her more than words can begin to describe. My life has changed, I have changed. I urge you to hug your loved ones because you really just never know what tomorrow will look like.
I decorated another journal today. I think it is important to get your feelings onto paper. Thought I would share it here with you:
I purchased a traveler's notebook to journal in. I used Bubbles and Fizz DSP to cover it with. I added Crumb Cake after tearing the edge. I ran a layer of Very Vanilla through the Polka Dot Embossing Folder and added a scrap of strip to the side. I created my flower using the Blossom Builder punch.
The sentiment is from the So Many Shells stamp set. The little butterfly is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit. I added a few silver glimmer accents dots that I punched using a standard hole punch.
Here are all of the products that I used to decorate my journal today:

Thank you for stopping by today! If you made it all the way to the end, I appreciate you! I will be back tomorrow with a fun sampler project. Big, big hug.
