When I save for web, things get smaller and fuzzy. Hope you can read the quotes as they are so good and make this AJ what it is. I used All in the Family and my black background is Free Wheelin. All this journaling was placed on Vintage Album journaling book.
Tracy, there is a world of hurt in this page. I am glad that your husband is a supportive advocate for you and that you are determined to make this hurt end with your generation. Thanks for sharing your touching page.
Oh Tracy - my heart breaks for you. Every bit of emotion portrays through your journaling. You rock at AJ - even the hard, most difficult pieces. I hope this process brings you some peace and healing. Big hugs.
OMGosh, the first sentence brought me to my knees. We NEED to talk, Tracy. I'm still working through MY hurt with my mother. This is incredibly deep and you're so brave to start putting this down on "paper" - this needs to be my next subject. This is so touching and I'm almost moved to tears over your honesty. Isn't Art Journaling the best release of these pent up feelings that we have buried????
EDITED: Saving to Web shouldn't make it blurry - can I help you in any way???

Thank you Cheryl, I'm still working on it. I am not this brave normally. I hit post and then ran away. I feared the response. I shouldn't have but I did. It was so raw. When talking to hubby about the "courage" he was like you have the perfect story for that. And he said exactly the reason I had in mind. It confirmed this is what needed to be made and it further proves he has been filling in all my blocks that were ripped out.
Saving to the web seems to make things less clear and crisp I dont know why. I use the feature and click the 600x600 and once in awhile I see its not crisp. Who knows why. I'll see if I can message you the screen shot when I try this.
Tracy, it's as if some of these things write themselves - I'm sure this did. I'm so glad you hit post and didn't back down. I'm still working on mine, too. It's so hard to get over - I get the generational thing - I remember the exact spot where I was standing when i vowed to never be like her. I rarely ever scrap about my mom. It's so sad.

Yes. It took everything I had to make the mothers day ATC with her photo in it. Its not a happy moment or relationship. I vowed in Highschool to never be like her and I raised my kids different as I could. I still see where things didn't change enough but even when my daughter and I were at odds, she never doubted I love her. I'm so sorry you went through anything like I did. Its not fun.

Tracy, I'm so sorry you had to live through feeling you weren't as perfect as you truly are and for sure -- even in the scrapping friendship world - you just exude love so you sure forged your own path in spite of your early journey. Your words and your emotions are so clear and so beautifully illustrated - I'm so glad you could make this page and thank you for sharing it with us.
