The Photo not Taken

Done for the DigiDare No 165 - my non-accomplishment in 2009! I started out with Jodie's WA and it kind of built from here.

Journaling reads:

Every year I plan on taking more photos of me with the kids and indeed this was one of our challenges in 2009 on our Photo Challenge Forum. After all, you just never know what hand life might deal you and in years to come your kids wont ask why you werent wearing make up, or whether you seriously thought that pair of jeans suited you. They will ask why youre not in any of the photos with them. So with this in mind, I really tried to get more photos of the children and I. But the really sad thing is that barring one posed family shot that I made Dominic take, these are the only shots of me and my children, despite taking over 2,500 photos throughout the year. Pathetic, eh?! Must do better in 2010.

Oh Selena...this is all too true!!!!!!!!!!! and too late for me now!!! I have so few photos of me and my girls!! I treasure the ones I do have though!!! Now that they are adults, I try to get a few every year with them for sure....and I do my best to get someone to take photos of me and the grandbabies together!! But lucky for the girls, I am the one always taking photos, so there will be plenty of them with their children :) ... Now your page....I absolutely love the composition and the word art is fabulous!!! Fantastic job and here is to seeing MORE photos of you with those fabulous children of yours!!!!
 
This must have taken so much time! I love it!!! You are so creative and have great attention to detail.
 
okay .. where do I start? Your LO? Your credit listing? The way you structure LOs? Your layering? The story itself? Amazing work my friend.
 
I love the fact that you left the biggest photo space empty, representing the lack of photos you've referred to in your journaling. Fantastic page Selena.
 
Hey Selena. Congrats on the Digidare win! This layout is well deserved! Love the concept and it is so true, I'm hardly in the photos as well, but I'm trying to do better, even if it's me by myself. LOL
