I'm 30 Today & My Mind's Eye: Blog Challenge #19

Today is my 30th birthday! I'm really excited to have my family come help me celebrate. It seems surreal that I am embarking on another decade of my life. My 20s were great! I graduated from college, started my first job, met and married my husband, bought my home, met a lot of new friends, did a lot of traveling, and became the momma to my two sweet girls. I struggled a lot in my 20s too but always looked to God for the grace to handle it. I'm looking forward to what my 30s will bring! I'll admit it - I am slightly depressed about the fact that I am turning th-th-thirty but instead of sitting around feeling sorry for myself I am going to P-A-R-T-Y with my family today! Heehee!

A blog post wouldn't be complete without me sharing a layout so here's one that I created for the My Mind's Eye Blog Challenge #19. I used the So Sophie and Lost & Found collections for this layout about my girls' first sled ride and "accident" last winter. (Daddy took a corner a little too fast and Lily ended up face first in the snow). She was fine, but we still laugh about it. :) 

Here are a few close-ups...

I punched the snowflakes (Martha Stewart punch) out of text paper from the Lost & Found collection and placed brads in the center. This photo is the aftermath of the "accident". Heehee!

I placed a tag for my journaling underneath the main photo. 

That's all for today! I'm off to get ready for my company! Have a great weekend! :)
