You Are Here

This is my sweet little man, outfitted with his Thomas the Train backpack, headed off into the unknown . . .

Journaling reads: You are here, with the world at your feet, waiting to open its wondrous treasures to you. You are still so small, but your journey has already begun. I don’t know where your feet will take you in your lifetime, but I trust in our God that He will guide you and protect you. I daily pray for your safety and security, for your health, for goodness and mercy and blessings to be upon your life. So you are here right now, my little boy, full of adventure. Watch out world. Here he comes!

love you - Perfectly Poetic Challenge at PPF

I created this layout for the Perfectly Poetic Challenge I host over at Purple Paper Flowers (you can check out the challenges in the forum here: PERFECTLY POETIC CHALLENGE FORUM).

Basically, I provide a poem as inspiration and you have to use a portion of or the entire poem in your layout. You can use just one line and make it into a title, you can use the entire poem in the place of journaling, or you can create word art from separate stanzas of the poem.

Both my pages that have made the GSO feature my beautiful daughter!
