What's new

January 31: Then + Now (the last day!!)



Journaling Reads:

I love how much you and Brianna (Boogie) adore one another. You are just as close now in 2018 as you were back then in 2008. You absolutely love being around her. Whenever we go somewhere and you know she is going to be there you flock to her immediately. You love taking selfies with her. Especially if she opens up Snapchat on her phone. I always tell you to back off and give her some space to breathe but she will always say that you are fine and you are not bothering her. She thinks that you are so funny so you definitely keep her laughing with the things you do and say. I hope that you will always have this super special bond that you have with her. You may not be related by blood but you two are definitely cousins at heart. The love that you have for one another just warms my heart.

I have my dates within my journaling text (and well over 150 words). Is this okay or does it need to be elsewhere too?

Ideally, you'll have your photos clearly marked but as long as the dates are on your layout, it will meet the guidelines. :)
 
Such a fantastic challenge to end with for MOC6! Thanks for all the inspiration!

I bought these Christmas stockings for the Christmas after Mia was born - Tigger for Josh, Eeyore for Mia and Winnie the Pooh for you, Chiara. They have been hung on (or under) that big cow picture in the lounge ever since. When you were all small and so excited about Santa that you were getting up ridiculously early in the morning, I would always let you make your way downstairs first to see what Santa had delivered. You were each allowed to choose just one thing to open first from the stocking before me and your Dad came down to join in the fun (anything to get another few minutes of relaxation before the bustle of the day started!). These photos show you back then in 2009 (aged 10) and again now in 2017 (aged 18) still making a bee-line for the gifts in the stockings before moving onto the bigger presents in the sacks.
 
Can't believe this is the last challenge! :( Gonna have to plunder and do some of the monthly ones now! :) Thanks for another great year!
