the day graduation photos made me cry

Yes I am weird!!!!
Tonight I was inspired to sit down and do this 8.5 x 11 LO for 2 Crafty

Here is the journaling ............

One of my biggest questions in 2010 was ‘should I send you to school in 2011?’ As a teacher and a mother that wanted to best for you, it was something that I thought about a lot and talked about often. You are not silly, you are a very switched on little boy that loves to play, talk and investigate. Your needs and interests were being met at preschool but you showed little interest in anything related to school ‘work’. Your preschool teacher often talked about how you lacked concentration and needed to be supported to follow directions. I often said how another year of preschool would not hurt you and in 2012 you would go in stronger and more mature. You were also in one of the best preschools around and I did not worry about sending you back there as I knew your early childhood education was in great hands.
Today, when this photo was taken, I was taking graduation photos of the preschool children at my school. I was not going to buy your photo package. Suddenly this wave of emotion hit me, here I was taking photos of other kids and I thought of my gorgeous son and the class of 2010 that held so many memories and fun times. I started to cry that I was not buying this photo. I was sad at myself as even though you were not leaving preschool you were still apart of the class of 2010 and I was mad that I did not pay for the package. I ran to the phone crying and explained to Marlene I needed to buy this photo. That night I chatted with Marlene that I had made the right decision not to send you to school in 2011, never will I regret it. You come first always. She thought I was upset at my decision not to send you to school, and I explained…. no, I was upset that I was missing a memory (yes I am a photo addict). Max, you were a much loved member of the class of 2010, and I love this memory. Please remember I want what is best for you and as your mother I will work hard to make sure I do the best possible job I can. xxxx

A 2 Crafty layout

One of my favourite memories of Flynn is his love of blowing raspberries. He did it on and off all day every day for at least 2-3 months.

On this layout I used the 2 Crafty scalloped hearts banner .

I found this sketch on inspired blueprints and had a play with it. I sprayed them with glimmermist and then inked the edges.

here he comes! I love him so!!!!
