Scrapping Contest

Growing Up

This was the winning entry in 10 Things 2 Heart.
Posted on February 10th, 2010.

Description:

Growing Up (Kim Broedelet) I decided to take up this months competition as a challenge to myself, as I so stink at journaling on any of my pages-lol. It's not something I find easy to do. My son is my *heart* and I wanted to show him just how much I appreciate and love the 'man' he has grown up to be. Journaling says- Ten things I heart(love) about the *man* you have grown up to be... * Your respect and politeness to all of your peers, no matter what their age. * Your love for your family and home both of which know no boundries. * Your willingness to help others less fortunate than yourself. * That you still share your life and time with me, even sometimes at your friends expense. * The confidence you show in everything you try or attempt. * For your humour that fills my heart and mouth with laughter. * For being a rock when things get tough and for never complaining about it. * The thoughtfulness you show by leaving little gifts on my desk when I least expect them. * Your compassion that is way beyond your years. * For making me PROUD to say I'm your mother. *CREDITS* ArtPlay Pallette By Anna Aspnes (hues changed to fit my sons likes).
