YEAH BAY-BEEEEE!!!
(Uh-huh-- Austin Powers voice!)
I love what you wrote and think you have grown sooo much as an AJ-er. It was always inside you, just needed a slight nudge to bring it out.
Also-- love how you added the text to the acrylic alpha and the stacked papers! Very eye-catching

I agree with everything Chris just said, Tracy. I LOVE how you jumped right in and put your heart ad soul into Art journalling. You were so unsure of yourself in the beginning, but by golly, it WAS in you all the time. You trusted the process and have grown with each week's challenge. Jyddis to you for sticking with it and I'm going to give you a Standing O for this week's layout.

Awwwww Thank you! I have grown so much both as an AJ-er and personally because you all encouraged me and said try it, you can do it. You gave such praise and love that I bloomed. Thank you! For more than just this comment. For all the love, support and encouragement.

Awwwww *blushing* Thank you Cheryl. I look back at those first AJ layouts and think wow they're bad, but they aren't. Its where I was and where I started and thanks to you all, I had the encouragement to grow and stretch and try more things. I trusted you, not the process. The process came from trusting the women who said I could and showed me how. Thank you for the Standing O. Means so much.

You just gave me a warm hug across the miles, my dear friend. Truly - what you just said, means more to me than I can say. I have certainly enjoyed and have been blessed to have played any part in your wonderful growth as an Art Journal-er. It's not easy to put yourself out there - you summer up your feelings so well. We ALL have them and we make ourselves vulnerable when we create these pages. The encouragement and support that we have received from our other AJ-ers have certainly propped us up when we've all needed it. Hugs to you.

AWW! Such a heart-felt page! We're all on this journey together! It is challenging yet fun! Love the acrylic title and your journaling the risks on it! Great page! Congrats on your Standing O, too!
