New Layout: I am 38

I’m in the middle of LOAD (Layout a Day ) right now, so I’m creating a ton of layouts and a lot of them are based on prompts.

The layout was loosely based on a prompt. I was suppose to scrap about myself and as I listened to the prompt I immediately wanted to create a page with a large 38 (my age) as the title. Once I decided on this, then I knew I needed to come up with 38 random things about myself to tie the journaling to the title.

The photos is a random self-portrait from when I was in Denmark in January. It was SO cold. Freezing actually … so this was my “holy crap it’s so cold, I have to wear my furry hood” shot.
