can you tell that i'm big on the word "super" lately?!?! lol! so here goes … some older than ever layouts. my "all about me" album may not be thick … but it does have a few fun layouts.

Laura_all_for_you 

i made this layout about 3 years ago … it was part of my entry for the "hall of fame" contest at creating keepsakes magazine. it was the journaling assignment. i journaling this 3 years ago … as i was in my 4th year of doing daycare. and as i re-read this today … it is all still so true. i know i have blogged about my likes and my dislikes of doing daycare before …. on many occasions. and this is exactly what it comes down too. word for word … i could have written that today. i do it for my girls. and i love the daycare kids with all my heart … i've always hoped that i have made that perfectly clear … even on days when i feel the need to vent about the "job" itself. but the actual "job" part of it isn't easy … it drains me like you wouldn't believe. but i have to work … and this way i can still be here for my girls. here's a close-up of the journaling:

Laura_all_for_you_detail 

Laura_two_sides_of_me 

this layout i made 2 years ago. i actually did this for a challenge … to use a color that you normally don't use. purple … i have serious issues with the color purple! lol! i really love this layout though … love the split look of the layout … and the tags with all the fun embellishments. and if you read the journaling .. it's about how there are two sides to me. i'm a gemini after all … and i definately have the split personality going on. but it's all good … i feel life exciting for those around me … you never know which "me" you'll get from minute to minute!

Laura_few_of_my_favorites 

and this one … about a few of my favorite things. i made this ages ago … at least 3 years or so i would think. some of these have changed. i don't shop all that much anymore … just for the basics. i never scrap late at night … unless it's a night that the girls are gone or spending the night somewhere (which rarely happens!). i do love to talk on the phone with friends … but never seem to do it anymore … no one is ever around these days! and i gave up my gossip magazines about 4 months ago … just stopped buying them one day. i'm so behind on what's going on in the celebrity world! and i love this design … but can't claim it as my own. i scraplifted this design from someone … can't remember exactly who. i have an idea who it was … but i'd hate to say in case i'm wrong.

so there you go … just a few of my "all about me" layouts. i really need to do more … just about random stuff. will have to work on that!

    Such fun layouts, Laura…and it reminds me, again, of how important it is to journal. It’s only been a few years since you made these and already it’s great to “look back” and read them…I need to go get out some of my older albums…this is what it’s all about!!! :o)

    I love the journaling…but I’ve only seen the left side of the journaling…I guess I wouldn’t see the right side through emails. LOL! Oh, we all have our weaknesses…it’ll be funny for your girls to see this when they’re moms and see if they are like you!
    I love the trash mags too, but they are expensive and organizing…don’t get me started, I love it! Fun LO’s Laura, TFS!

    Cool layouts! I never journal/scrap about myself, but I bet your kids will appreciate this when they are older! I totally get the daycare thing, and every mom/dad should be able to relate- children can be draining with their demands, especially when you have a house full! Love the Gemini comment- what is with you guys? Maia has the good girl/bad girl thing going on too!

    Wow – journaling that is not done in strips (lol). Love all your layouts and I do think it is so important to do “all about me” layouts so everyone knows what you are all about.

    Love the journaling on the daycare layout Laura — you know I can totally relate! Also, can totally relate to the Gemini split personality thing going on AND dislike for the color purple!!! Too funny!
    Loving going down memory lane with your layouts, thanks for sharing!

    I love these! It’s fun seeing your older work–really like how they’re about you & they don’t have any pics. Something I need to try someday.

    It take a special person to run a daycare. It takes someone with a giving heart, that is able to give lots of love. I am sure you are all of these and more.
    Thanks for sharing the purple layout. I use a lot of purple. It is my DH and oldest DD’s favorite colors.
    Thanks for sharing.
