You know how I had hoped to get back to digital scrapbooking this year? Keep up with the memories and all that? Well, this is the first layout of the year. Good grief. Hopefully I’ll be making more!

I was completely inspired by the new boutique collaboration over at The Digichick called All About Me. Oh, the colors! The papers!! LOVE! The Digichick is known for amazing boutique collaborations (where all of the designers contribute), and this one is quickly becoming a favorite. I’m usually the type of scrapper who uses a kit one time and then never again (for shame, I know!), but I am positive I’ll be using this one again this week!!

As for the layout, I gotta say that I am nuts about this child. At 7 years old, he’s giving me a run for my money (OH, the attitude and sass!), but we have had so many heart-to-hearts lately. Okay, sure, most of the are a result of negative behavior that we are trying to correct, however they are bringing us closer. He can keep pushing me away, but it just makes me push back harder. I WILL win this one. I love him too much!

My journaling:

Well, it has finally happened. You have turned into a sassy 7-year old with all kinds of attitude. Sometimes its a little too much for me to handle. You are pushing limits and pushing buttons and I am trying to keep up. It’s enough to make me want to pull my hair out! (Or, maybe pull your hair out! I dunno!)

At the same time, you’ve become extra clingy. One minute you are pushing me away with your words, and the next you are holding me tight with your arms. Intellectually, I know this is normal behavior, but this mama’s head is spinning!

I just want you to know that I still adore you. You are still my treasure. You can push away all you want, but I will always be here for your hugs.

My love for you is stronger than it has ever been. I’m so proud of you, my son. My heart still goes pitter-pat whenever I look at my sweet baby. I’m just wild about you, and nothing you can do will ever change that!
