measure success

Journaled some thoughts on how everyone is constantly sizing you up. Whether you drive the right car, wear the right clothes... it can especially be hard when you're a stay at home mom who's building their own business. I don't really have measurable things like awards and a great salary and benefits because I do what I do. But I love it. And I know it's where I belong!

Here's a peek at the journaling:

And, um yeah. That's the first photo that I've taken since I've really been working at getting in shape and I've dropped about 20 pounds. I couldn't believe my own face? That's exciting for sure...

Loved using these Authentique papers. I was pleasantly surprised by how well they fit together. I was also given a few products from Copics to try out, and I liked how they worked on canvas! I outlined my canvas punky sprouts banners and I liked how they didn't bleed...

And I used their glitter marker on the wings to add some details, which are just really tough to see. LOL

I loved adding a leftover page from my teeny beanie halloween book that I had painted with chalkboard paint, too. I like the lift it gave the upper part of the layout. Anyway! Enough about that!

Have a wonderful Friday!!
