Thinking Pink!

Before we think pink...

It is my turn to host the 52 Pick-up challenge at Little Scrapbook Shop this week and I have chosen Hidden journaling for my project. I have created a panel behind my photograph for my journaling.

The journaling I have used is a definition of Motherhood written by Preacher and author Lisa Bevere. Her books are seriously powerful and revelationary.

Mother…

I have found mothers to be those who lay down life to bring forth life—whether this is by way of natural childbirth, adoptions, or rescue. I have found mothers to be advocates for children and change, protectors, nurturers, and healers of sick children. They are the ones who respond to a child’s cry in the night. They grow into masters at multitasking. A mother is one who feeds and sustains life with warmth and what beauty she finds. She is a wiper of tears, calmer of fears, tender of injuries, instructor, teacher, friend, and confidant who gives advice whether you ask for it or not! She is a woman with answers who will tell you who she is. (“Because I am your mother, that’s why!”) A mother is likened to the interior coating of a shell called the mother of pearl. What is often painful for a mother becomes priceless in her daughter.

Last night I had the pleasure to attend the third annual Girls Night In crop run by the ladies on the Scrap Chat forum. We raised a great amount of money for breast cancer research. I managed to only scrap a couple of layouts between shopping, chatting and checking out everyone else's projects. It was a fantastic night!
