Oh my gosh, you achieved my getting goosebumps all over, Tracy. I just LOVE your journey in AJ and I remember when you were so unsure of yourself. We told you to just go for it and NO judgement. I must tell you, you're one of the reasons we decided we HAD to have an AJ Challenge for December. I knew you'd be disappointed if we didn't. What a fun page with your looking back and now, we have to look forward. We have tons of fun planned for the coming year. :heartpumpred:

Awwww

This journey has been so rewarding and I have learned so much. Not just in scrapping style but a great way to release emotions and focus on what is good. I am so glad you did the AJ for December. I really would have missed it. I would have understood but I would have been sad. It was such a scary beginning. I am so glad I went ahead and did what you said, go for it. I cant wait for next month and the amazing challenges to come. I foresee more healing, more growth and so much love.

You are so special and we love where you've started with AJ. I know it was hard to "let go" but you did it and doesn't it feel so amazing? It's SO freeing and I have also learned a lot about "letting go" it was hard for me, too, at the beginning - it's a big risk "pulling yourself out there", but, in the end, it's so worth it.

Yes 10000% accurate. I was worried about putting things out there but oh I am glad I did. Some were relatable some were personal but all were beyond needed. :heartpumppink:

Such a beautiful page, Tracy, and I so relate to your AJ journey. AJ seemed scary at first, but now I'm loving it, thanks to the help and encouragement from our AJ Challenge friends. I so love the way you used the Lift the Flaps for your photos and art. Looking forward to a new year of AJ alongside you, my friend. ♥

Thank you Betty Jo. Its a scary thing to start because its "journaling" but its so rewarding and we have the most amazing mentors to help guide us. Cant wait to see what '25 brings.

I can't wait either, Tracy! Unfortunately, some of my journaling amounted to nothing but a quote but hopefully, I'll do better as I go along.

But sometimes all that is needed is the quote. Sometimes I think maybe I should just use the quote and not add to it but compulsion to explain leads to lots more journaling :giggle4:

This layout was quote only.

I hadn't even noticed you had only used a single quote, Tracy! Your images made it appear to say so much more than more journaling would have done. I see your point!

This is great Tracy and so creative! I like how you put all your Art Journaling pages together on a layout, they are each so unique and so awesome and so YOU!. You really do shine in all ways. :beatingheart:
