Speaking of Facebook, there has been an interesting conversation taking place today regarding WHY we do PL?? Many people do it so as to record their family stories for families, children and future generations. Others do as a creative outlet where the creative process is just as important as the final product. I have given this some thought over time, and I do PL for ME!! I love capturing the memories, moments and stories of my life - big and small!! I started scrapbooking about 7 years ago when my daughter was born and it was always about recording and telling her story. But upon embarking on PL at the beginning of last year, I found a medium from which to tell MY story!! Yes, it includes Lilly and Kendall as they are a major part of my world and everyday life but it is more than that. It is a record of life from my perspective and is created primarily for me. I do hope that my family will enjoy my albums as much as I do and indeed my husband was photographed doing just that last night!! But this is simply a bonus to me at this time. So having contemplated the why of my PL, let me share with you Week 15 of this amazing journey called life......
Week 15 is brought to you by the awesomeness of Pink Paislee who recently joined the American Crafts family of brands, and uses the digital 'Hello Sunshine' collection available from the AC Digitals website. I love this kit with all its gorgeous elements, journal cards and brushes. It was perfect for what was the last week of term on the school calendar.
The Design H insert documents how Lilly burnt her hand at a Reptile Show in Wollongong. What was supposed to be a fun day out at the show and then the beach was definitely dampened by this unfortunate event. A potentially good day quickly became 'the worst day ever'.... Lucky for us, the power of Nurofen is a wonderful thing and allowed Lilly to make a speedy recovery and salvage the day with an afternoon at North Beach, Wollongong. This is where all the beautiful photos that follow were taken. One has to marvel at the resilience, spirit and energy of children in the face of adversity and injury!!!
Thanks again for stopping in and checking out a snippet of my life and my PL!!!
Until next time....
