    This month is all about: Journey / Adventurous / Crossroads

    I had a completely different idea for this challenge all formulated and life through me a curve ball I was not expecting of course. From all the stress that my curve ball brought I created this page.

    I want you to make a page of the journey or journeys (or crossroads) in your life that you have survived or going through right now. I know on this one you have to dig a bit deeper, but make it as specific or non-specific. If you don't feel like you want to share the details of your journey or crossroad you don't have to, but I want you to art journal about it. I think, I am trying to be a little more understanding from my experience and trying to work on the big things and just live with the little ones and not letting them drown me.

    This month's M3 couldn't have come to my rescue more perfectly! I kept my page very simple because the chaos going on in my life was very overwhelming and I wanted to see the "light". Feel free to check out the ADD-ONs for this month in the M3 section in the store.

    Deadline: May 20th, 2017
    Prize: a random draw for a 5$ coupon to the M3 store!

    Challenge rules :
    - Your page must contain at least 60% of M3 products.
    - Post your layout in this thread and the M3 gallery.

    This really spoke to me. I've been looking back and seeing things from this side lately. Once there was no journey, no movement, just endless gray. The r.m. drake poem was so right in my case.
    "Change was among the stars, the moment she began to love herself."

    Not necessarily a crossroads I've survived, but one that is on-going with me.

    I modified the challenge to include if you are going through the journey or in the crossroads right now. Thanks for the feedback.

    Several of our long distance moves have left me feeling like this -- uprooted. It's always a journey back when planted in new soil and in an unfamiliar environment to get my attitude adjusted and begin to adjust & adapt. This layout conveys (or is meant to convey) some of that feeling.

    I blurred out the journaling...it's a little more sensitive. I found myself at a very emotion crossroad when I found out my dad's cancer had come back and he didn't have much time left; I had to be the bigger person and put a turbulent past behind me.
