The Write Now! workshop at BPC has helped me focus on writing and journaling this past week, and I was inspired to create this layout using Shimelle's April 4x6 Photo Love sketch. The sketch was designed for four 4x6 photos, however I cropped several of my photos & ended up using six photos. Two photos & the journaling are underneath the title flap.
Journaling Reads: Twice in the spring of 2010, we traveled for job interviews – once to Houston, once to southeast Louisiana. As I had prayed for Robbie a new job over the past year, I had repeatedly told the Lord that we would go wherever He sent us. At least Houston was still in Texas, even if it was back in hurricane territory and 100% humidity year round. Louisiana was another story – if we were going to have to move, couldn’t it at least be somewhere more glamorous sounding than Lou-i-si-ana? Luckily these jobs did not pan out and Robbie returned to work in Dallas. Were these trips useless? Did we learn anything? Oh yes . . . The Strip House in downtown Houston serves a delicious Baked Alaska, and the azaleas are in perfect bloom during late March in southeast Louisiana.
I like how you incorporated the journaling here. This is another class I would have liked taking, I loved her Textuality class which I see is coming again.
