Journaling:
This was not the plan... it was never the plan. I was built to be a guest room. A nice, quiet room in the basement. Only to be used occasionally by grandparents. I was supposed to have nice minimal furniture with a made bed and art work on my walls. Not a clutter of guitars, thrift store stereo equipment and piles of cds. And I’m not even going to mention the perpetually unmade bed and band posters on the walls. I was supposed to smell nice too... sigh. And be quiet... not have rock music blaring so loud that passers-by can hear it as they walk down the sidewalk. All I can say is thank goodness it’s only for another year and half. Then some of the clutter may remain, but it will be quiet again and the bed will stay made. And I’ll be alone! Alone, quiet and dark. But you’ll come home occasionally, right? Turn on lights, blare the music and leave stuff strewn about? I mean, it’s not my plan but I guess I have gotten a bit used to it. And I guess I really don’t mind it and might even miss it all a bit (just a bit) once you’re off to college. I’ll be glad to go back to the plan, but “teen boy room” wasn’t a bad gig for a few years.

lol! WE did the same with our spare bedroom downstairs! I love the monochromatic color scheme here and your choice of alpha! Great work!
 
I'm not sure where to start...you know I am a fan of yours, so I am not surprised with the page being a superb one, not surprised...full of joy and cant stop looking at it after reading the journaling -which by the way does qualify- the core of what is asked for is there, and wonderfully done too!!!-
I was there, I am still in that room and even hearing the music....visually is equally amazing...your gorgeous elegance is present, the perfection on choices of elements even more perfect with the shadows that ohhhh my swoon!!!!!! Congrats on the blog feature, I'm taking it to the Froggy Faves so everyone can share this awesome inspiration that is your page.....
 
@MrsPeel Thank you so much!!! And thank you so much for this wonderful challenge!! I was stumped for a while on what to do and then it came to me. I think it was a good way for me to start dealing with some of the feelings I'm going to be going through the next year and a half as my son gets ready to go off to college. Thanks again!!
 
I am so so glad that I can have a positive bit in your life/scrapping.... I feel so blessed with having met people like you, with awesome creativity, so you can imagine my happiness that I can have, even if a tiny bit, a positive influence in your scrapping!!!!! I know about that fear of them leaving...I was lucky Sarita stayed at home as the Uni is just 40 minutes away, but I know I will have to get through her going after that (hopefully to marry and give me grandchildren before my heart fails all the way!!!) Hugggzzz
