10-Journaling:
Dear Me,
I often wonder what I saw when I looked into that mirror all those years ago... Do you, at 16, see the same little girl full of promise that I see at 33, or is there something else there when you see it? I remember that at 16 I saw a slightly chubby, offbeat girl with a lot of determination... And, now realize how silly that was. You aren't chubby - just rounded where a girl should be.
Your creativity is both your blessing and your curse... It will help you relieve stress and work through some tough issues, but it is also what pulls you away from people at times.
Some people close to you will be lost to you inthe next few years - some through personal choices,some through distance, and some through death.Spend time with those you love. Don't be afraid to show in pictures with them because you will treasure those photos in years to come. Experience and enjoy each moment... The choices you make now will affect your life for many years. Not all of your choices are good - not all of them are bad. And, you do end up with some very good results from some bad choices as well.
Fight harder is my best advice... Fight harder for the things you truly want.
Love, Me

I decided yesterday I wanted to do a LO for ME before moving back to CT work... Of course, I had all but the last two elements on the page when PSP crashed without me having saved... I had to recreate it.

Jay dropped off my car yesterday. He had to run all over the north country before he got here, but hey - extra test driving right?! (That's what I told him! LOL) He'd had to replace the coil packs, spark plugs, wiring harness, and some of the pins for the wiring. He told me not to hesitate to call if there were any issues.
Not sure what else to say, but I'm sure I'll remember as soon as I log off! LOL Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Dammit woman! Why do you make layouts that make me cry?! LOL
The Letter To Me did it this morning...
Just a sign of a fabulous scrapper I guess...means the emotions are coming through that you are trying to project....
Great job Cate...off to get some friggin' Kleenex now....
I totally LOVE the eggs layout. I was just blown away when I saw it over at SBB. (left ya lovin there too). Good Luck on the altered art. I wouldn't know where to start. But I'm finding that I just don't do well under pressure anyway. Hope you enjoyed your Monday.
