Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #43…….

3460069486_52d10409e2_obella_edward5

Beth is picking our challenge this week! She came up with a wonderful challenge………This is what Beth had to say:

A Love Song for Edward and Bella
I love music! I relate just about everything I hear in songs to something. I just love it - I FEEL it! So my challenge is going to draw on that. I challenge you to think about the Saga as a whole, and then to decide in retrospect, what Edward and Bella's song should be. It can be a song about a particular part of their relationship, or their journey as a whole. Be prepared to explain!! This IS a variation of a prior challenge, so I ask that you try and go in a different direction if you participated previously! This will take some thought before project ideas even come into play - I better go start studying my iPod now...
Challenge Portion: Choose a song. Explain why it should be theirs. Share lyrics that are particularly poignant, if you can. Create a project scrapbook layout around this song.
Comment Portion: Do you have a theme song? One that seems to have been written *just* for you? Do tell! You can go as fun or profound as you are comfortable with - it is all good!

I thought long and hard about this one………..
I have two songs:

My immortal- Evanescence
Always- Plumb
{Click to give them a listen…}


I LOVE both of those songs and think they are perfect for this challenge.

Onto my craft:

How To Survive Camp…………

IMG_9386

This is our troop…….IMG_9380 Me signing Alissa in…..do I look flustered or what?????????

 

Alissa went to Girl Scout camp last month for the first time by herself.  Well I should clarify….with the 7 other girls in our troop.  She went without her leader who also happens to be her mother!  It was the longest 4 days of my life!  She had a blast…..horseback riding, canoeing, archery, swimming in the lake and everything Girl Scout!

To prepare her (as if) I made her this “How to Survive Camp Journal.”  Really I should have myself a “How to Survive your daughter being gone for 4 Days” book! 

She loved it……..

I used the concrete jungle kit from Club Scrap.  Be sure to click the pictures if you want to see enlarged and to read the prints.

Filled with letters from her family, quotes, jokes, recommendations, and lots of pages for her to journal.
This will be something she can use again and again for camp – and reflect back to her first camp experience!

Jacob was with me when I was looking thru this kit. He said “mom that looks like a tree” when he saw this felt ribbon. So guess what? I made it into a tree…… 3813208764_ebd79b1d68I never intended for this to look like sesame street. And when I turned it in I knew it reminded me of something. Now not having seen it for awhile……I TOTALLY see it. What the heck? All it is missing is a grouch or a big bird!

June Layouts:

Why do I blog?

I have never been one to keep a journal. I have never been able to write in a diary for more than a week! I have countless scrapbooks that still need to be journaled. I do this in hopes of becoming a better journalist. I do this to document everyday life. I do this so I don't have to scrapbook EVERY picture! I do this for me, our friends and family, & mostly the kids. One day they will have it all - because I took the time to document all the little things that REALLY do matter. Everyday life....all the little moments you & I can't remember because the memories are long gone.......
