I am officially a college mom. I can't really explain it. Sometimes i feel anxious for my DD and there are times when i'm scared out of my wits, but I guess it's what moms do . . . worry, even endlessly. Just as much I would love to always have my children look up to me, there comes a time when we just have to stand back and let go and let them be their own heroes. Easier said than done *wink* but i'm getting there :-)
Journalling:
It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon when we were all scurrying around the condo helping you prepare for your high school graduation that evening. As I was passing by your room I caught a glimpse of your white toga hanging outside your door. I just had to pause and take a photo, an image held in time where memories of your primary and high school days came rushing back to me.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT! WE DID IT BABY GIRL! This is the REAL DEAL. Soon you'll be dealing with new classmates, hard core professors, boys, keeping count of your cuts, boys, exposure trips, internships, did I mention boys? You get the picture :-) Back in ICA you were safe behind walls . . . in CSB the world is literally at your reach. Perhaps these are just new fears for your dear ol' mumerz, but I TRUST & KNOW you to always do the right thing (including BOYS, *ahem*).
NOW is your time to discover yourself and the world . . . now is your time to FLY!

Love the photos, the wings on the photo, the colors, the story, the sentiments, love everything about it. Especially love that Dr. Seuss quote. Even that small photo of you in the corner? Love it, too. Medyo sedated ka lang when it was taken ano? LOL.

Zabeth: Thanks so much, glad you liked it :-) The Micron is like a sign pen that's acid free and come s in different points, i used the thickest that I have which is 08. The edges are actually Pink Paislee Out of the Box paper, i cut out the sides and glued it on my main paper. Medyo fave na technique ko lately is to play with the edges of my background paper. Hope this helps :-)
