perfect moment

Description
Looking back at this photo over twenty years later I can appreciate the beauty of the moment. It was the one day of the year I truly got all glammed up. At the time not so much & I so very wish I could go back and do my year 11 school ball again to have a better memory of my dress picking. I knew sourcing a dress wouldn’t be easy given my size at the time but Grandma made me this dress to wear while mum did my make up. It’s little things like this moment that make me appreciate it that much more now that its no longer a possibility

Aw, I loved your journaling, great storytelling and so heartfelt! I also love the mix of patterned papers on the triangles. Fantastic!
 
@HeatherB2 thanks Heather, it's only in hindsight when someone is gone that you really treasure those moments that you might not have loved at the time but still deep down are perfect & beautiful. This is the moment where I can appreciate the fact my grandmother made it for me rather than how I felt/looked in my eyes compared to others. Comparing oneself to others can be a slippery slope at times.
 
@littlekiwi Jennifer - your words even in this comment are so heartfelt and perceptive ("those moments..deep down are perfect and beautiful"). Your mum and grandma sound like they were so supportive - you are a lucky lady!
 
Wonderful journaling and lovely page! I love all the triangles, your lush clustering, and the delicate details! Beautifully done!
 
Thanks @KimJ for the compliment on my clustering, honestly I don't do a lot of it nor am I very good at it but all of the bits in the January 25 BYOC were too awesome not to use
 
What a gorgeous page and heartfelt journaling Jennifer! I love all the purple goodies to match your photo! Beautifully scrapped and documented!
 
Such perceptive and heartfelt journaling about this special photo, and such a pretty page too
