ACCEPTANCE revealed

it is November 1st already (crazy eh?) which means that i have the pleasure of sharing with you the November ACCEPTANCE kit from Scrapbooking from the Inside Out.  It has such yummy patterned papers from Crate Paper, My Mind's Eye, Basic Grey and American Crafts.  these are totally MY kind of colors.  i swooned when i opened this kit.  i loved the bright purple thickers and the die cuts too. 

sometimes i find myself having a hard time with the theme of the month, but for ACCEPTANCE i ended up with too many ideas and not enough paper!  I am so eager to share with you what i've created.  here is my first page:

this page is called "my own terms" and is is about coming to grips with the fact that im getting older now and its "about time" for me to accept and live by my own terms and not any one else's.

my journaling says:  for most of my life i have lived and accepted other people's requirements and terms.  and i was good at it.  i got a 4.0 in school.  i was obedient to my parents, did what was expected of me.  but now that im 24 i need to set my own terms for my life, for my actions, for my motives.  i know i will accomplish my goals because they are on my own terms and i accept.  

feel like creating along with us??  you are more than welcome....
