10. Who will you be in 46 years?

I adored this week's case file :0) is it me or are they just getting better and better??

My take is a picture of me that I found in an old shoebox (I kid you not!!) that my Mum gave to me ages ago.

I haven't stuck strictly to motherhood in my journaling as it is about my parents:

'my parents always had high hopes for and encouraged me to be the best I could be. I spent the first 1/4 of my life trying to be what they wanted, my teens were spent telling them white was black. My twenties I tried to be them and then in my 30s I knew who I was and the foundations they had laid down paid off. My career took off and I became a 'high flyer', my children were and are wonderful and my husband was finally accepted. From then on I became all they had wanted for that little baby girl 46 years ago.'

Thank you so much for looking and for all the wonderful comments that you will inevitably make as you are all so lovely and generous :0)

Comment by Sarah Martin on March 17, 2012 at 11:30pm: Love this Ali. I love the journalling and the mist and paint

Comment by Helen Wallace on March 17, 2012 at 2:30am: A precious photo, simply and beautifully scrapped and the journalling as always is the cherry on the top

Comment by susan stringfellow on March 16, 2012 at 9:46pm: what a sweet little one! Love the simple sweet feel of the whole layout

Comment by Helena Virpi on March 16, 2012 at 2:00pm: The adorable photo gets all the attention first. But the journaling is the strong piece here, Ali. Isn't it such a waste of time trying to be what our parents would like us to be OR what we THINK they want for us or from us? But I guess we just have to learn by ourselves that unless we accept who we are, we can never be happy and aren't able to render happy the people near us. Been there, done that...

Just love those few paint splatters and the flags. Nice touch :)

hugs

Comment by Shaunery on March 16, 2012 at 1:21pm: Oh this is wonderful!!! This has perfect balance and it's beautiful. I agree w/ Angelica.. not a thing too much nor too sweet... You hit this spot on. Very daring to tear your photograph.. many of us wouldn't dream to tear a vintage photograph but it's bold and lovely!! I want to try this now!

Comment by Jenny Evans on March 16, 2012 at 9:49am: Beautiful layout, Ali!! Love the whitespace, it makes you focus on that super cute photo of yourself! Love your journaling, your reflections...I have always been a fan of your embellishings, just perfect!! Off to your blog... :)
