Last weekend I attended the funeral for the husband of a friend. It was a beautiful ceremony, made more powerful by the eulogy of her son. Her son, in the eulogy, said, "My father is not defined by facts, but by the actions he takes every day." That made me think about all the ways I show I am dedicated to my family and others by the ordinary things I do. The following page came from those words:
I used the color inspiration (and very loosely the sketch) from The Color Room. I can't tell you enough how good it felt to think about the things I do every day, why I do them, and how they show my love for the people around me. I strongly encourage everyone to take the time to think about that, record it if possible, and thank other people for their actions too.

Ok.... so I've seen a lot of your lovely pages, but this one, seriously, my favorite of yours, EVER!!! wow, I cannot tell you how good this is!!! seriously ... wow! and it isn't color room speak here, lol!!
I love the color in this one, but even more, the journaling. What a great idea for a layout...I may just have to try this one! TFS (ps. my DH says I sound like a drill sergeant with our 2 boys, too! lol)
Always a great stop for true inspiration- thanks!!!
This is beautiful Jennifer. One of the prettiest pages I've ever seen of yours. The colours and the flowers are softer than usual for you (and more like what I'd do) but you've added your signature precision to the page and it's just fabulous. Not to mention the journaling...
Hello Jennifer!
Another great page!
Love your journaling too ;-)
Love this, Jennifer. You never fail to inspire me. I hope you don't mind, but I posted a copy of your LO on ScrapSistersStudio in a thread begun as inspiration for NSD this Saturday. Here is a link to the thread. http://www.scrapsistersstudio.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4921&p=41925#p41925
I also left a link to your blog on SSS so anyone who wishes can drop by to see some more of your work.
