This layout was interesting for me ... I tried to embrace a slightly different style - keeping it simple. Everything is straight and no tilts or angles ...

The journaling is about my never-ending quest to be more patient. I've really been working on that as a parent these days. If you can't read it, here's the journaling:

Note to Self: Be more patient
Ive never been very patient. Mom used
to say that I was speedy. I always tried to get things
done as fast as I could. I wanted things as soon as I could get them. I wanted things to happen to me now! I had a hard time waiting. I had a hard time putting up with people or things that wasted my time or I thought were doing the wrong thing. Dad said I didnt suffer fools kindly. Ive worked on these things. Ive tried to slow down a bit. Ive learned to be more patient with others. Ive learned how to handle those fool situations. But theres still room to grow How does that translate to being a wife? Well, at first, it was a struggle. I thought things should be perfect right away and I was impatient to have all of those special things that couples have together right away. I am so thankful to have a strong and loving husband who taught me so much including how to be more patient. But Im still a work in progress. Now Im a mother three times over. Dealing with kids is a constant lesson in patience. I can't do it by myself. I need to trust God to help me and give me the patience necessary to be the best mother for my wonderful children. Thank you God for giving me more PATIENCE!

I used the add-on kit by Biografitti and the retired kit, Mother Love, by Kim DeSmet.
