How blessings brighten as they take their flight. This was the quote we were asked to use at Scrapping Everyday Miracles this time. As I thought about what I wanted to document I realized that everyday I thank the Lord that I am able to be home with my babies and that I get to teach them. Yes, sometimes it is very hard to be a SAHM and homeschooler with 5 - so hard that I'd like to scream! But I can't imagine not having them with me each and every moment. I can't imagine someone else having the priviledge to shape these little lives - lives that God gave to me for safe keeping. Now I know homeschooling isn't for everyone and that is fine, but it is for me. Plus, what else do I do with my math education degree? :) So here is my layout, taking flight.
Materials used: pp - Echo Park, Basic Grey, Studio Calico, MME, Girls Paperie, House of 3; paint products - Stampin up ink, Tattered Angels mist and glaze, Golden molding paste; Hambly washi tape, K&Co daisy, American Craft Thickers, chipboard, and vinyl, MME stickers, My Sentiments Exactly stamps, buttons, flowers, twine and lace from my stash.
Journaling reads: What a blessing it is to spend each day with you. Yes, homeschooling is a challenge at times, but every morning I wake knowing you are safe. I love teaching you so that one day you will be prepared to take flight.
