MOC7 January 20: Storytelling
My journaling:

I've never been like big parties to celebrate my birthdays; as a child my mother (like all mothers) organized the classic parties where to invite other children of friends (who saw practically and punctually only at the birthday, and that's it!), relatives and favorite friends when I started going to school, parties that I loved, let's be clear, because it meant gifts, yeah! stuffed sandwiches and chips! and leftovers consumed at the party ended with a nice glass of milk in front of the TV before going to bed (and I did not have to worry that it was a weekday or not, because being born at the end of June, it was always holiday).
Then the parties are over, but until the age of eighteen I kept a tradition that I started around ten, eleven years: invite my best friends to lunch (Jana and Patrizia up to elementary school, plus Simona in three middle schools).
Here: this cup and I will celebrate our thirty-second anniversary this year!
In fact I received it as a gift for my thirteenth birthday, and I am very dear to the memories that evokes in me: carefree years and friendships, those that arise as a child and that you believe will last forever, and that sometimes is that's right!
This cup was given to me by Jana, and it was love at first sight !!
The first thing that struck me at the time, even before opening the gift, was the greatness, it is just a beautiful, and adding the plate was a nice package! But then, opening it .... love! That beautiful rose in the middle, shiny and shining! And the blue was a perfect match!
Just imagine how many liters of milk and tea have filled it and emptied it, and how many moments of consolation, refreshment and comfort those liters of hot or cold drinks that they have given me, simply holding it in their hands!
At the beginning I used it without hesitation, without granting free days, holidays or paid vacations! Thinking: 'Here is my new wonderful cup, I will use that' or: 'It's still like new the cup that Jana gave me three years ago', but then two removals and a bit 'of dishes, glasses, cups and broken cups they took the upper hand and the simple gesture of grabbing the cup for the umpteenth breakfast was replaced by that of putting it more and more deep into the cupboard, until it was completely hidden, for fear that it would break.
Now, if you knew me, you would know that there are two things I love to collect: pigs and cups (if 'details' even better): here, I do not remember if my passion for cups started exactly then, but I know that this will always be special, it will be THE cup, and yes, I really wanted a nice cup of tea :)

(ps: Sorry for the errors, english is not my native language, and I used Google translator)

This is a very cozy layout. I love the smear of gesso with the string peeking out and the way you surrounded the photo with journaling.
 
LOVE your wonderful story and how warm and alive you have written! your layout is wonderful and the cup is very beautifully framed

This part really speaks to me. I love this page Francesca!
