…4 years of age and I have been there for two of them. I`m forever thankful to Stacy Julian and her team for creating this wonderful community for learning and growing. I joined BPS January 1 2008 after reading this blog post @Feast on Scraps. In December 2008 I had made a total of two scrapbook pages. But I was shopping and admiring Ingunn`s beautiful pages. New Years Eve I entered LOAD (Layout a Day) hosted by Lain Ehmann at BPS. I have no idea what possessed me to do this – committing to make a layout every day for 31 days. In the dark and cold month of January, working crazy hours – I still managed to make 31 layouts. Not great work, but I was scrapbooking!
Later that spring I found the courage to join Kolette Hall in her Art of Becoming More class. That was an amazing experience.
I had to work hard with this class. First of all it was done in a foreign language and that stressed me out – totally. I was listening to a foreign language and I was reading it. So – how was I supposed to write my journaling. My head was spinning. Reading in my album today I find a funny mix of English and Norwegian.
This is the last page in the album. I locked myself into the store after midnight to be able to take this photo because when Kolette and Jason Hall said that they believed I was a champion – I believed that too.
I have completed a lot of classes at BPS and I have made several albums, but this is the album I love the most. Because it is beautiful and because of what it means to me. I learned so much about myself. About how I have lived my life and how I want it to be. I wrote my wants and my goals. Looking through the album it feels complete and it is me. Maybe it is time to revise the goals? Maybe it is time to set new goals?
Congratulations to Stacy Julian and her Big Picuture Scrapbooking Team!
