Nicole and Beverly's takes

Here is Nicoles Lo:

The journaling reads as follows:



Random stuff that makes me happy: 1. A new box of pencil crayons 2. The beach 3. Poutine 4. Timmy's 5. Art 6. Johnny Depp movies 7. Cookbooks 8. Photography 9. Scrap supplies



Here is Beverly's Take:


Journaling Reads:

It's All Good
Dad visited in March & October - so good to see him
Jane was here in February & December
Auryn's school concert - his first - I cried! LOL
Auryn's Nativity - he's changed so much this year
Friendship: This has been such a tough year. I didn't appreciate how many good friends I had until the flowers and messages of support came flooding in to help me thru.


This Was Bad
Fire at the store
3 break-ins at the store
Moved to new premises twice
Dean went away
Websites crashed & the back-ups were faulty
Audrey died unexpectedly

ooohhhh, Nicole ... LOVE your bright colors and the organized design of your page. Besides, anyone who puts Johnny Depp on a list of faves gets my vote!! Great work!

Wow, Beverly ... you put the journaling in the journaling junkie. Tons of information on your page ... moving, honest, heartfelt. Stuff like this needs to be scrapped more often and you've done a wonderful job with yours. Let's hope 2008 is a good year!! You're off to a great start!
