The Joined the Conspiracy!

I present to you another layout. This is finished minus the journaling. I plan on writing out the story behind it below the title. It will require a bit of space, so I'm getting this up without it. But, here's the jist of the story. We went to Columbus for both computer parts for the boy and to look at a possibility on loft bed for the older girl. Luckily, we didn't buy the bed because our place has ceilings too low for one. But, we got food there and they loved it. They said it was a conspiracy by Ikea to have good tasting food to get people to buy from them and turn them Swedish. There are more details that the journaling will have.

So, the page was made on plain white cardstock. I printed up the pictures of the girls. I made some gold lines and blue stars on Draw, along with the title. I added some dollar store stickers. I backed the photos with gold embossed paper from Michaels.

Single Page Layout Stick It Down

This is the layout sketch I used. I did mention on a previous that I would be submitting another to this site. The best part was that I wasn't sure how to do the pictures until I aaw this sketch. At that point, the two just snapped together in my mind. I enjoyed that it looked calm and I really wanted to keep it that way. I contemplated doing different stamps or ephemera, but once I started putting it together, it seemed to be best with that. Plus, now I have more room for the journaling.

Below is me being me. I am ok still, though it may not sound like it. This is what I need off my chest.

Some discussion as per usual. I find myself slipping more into depression again. I am feeling worse about job situation and being either ignored or turned down. I'm getting to the point of procrastinating over things. It doesn't help that the holidays are around the corner and everyone will be discussing their jobs and such. I know I will hear questions of why I'm not at work again and should I just go for a low pay job just to bring money in. These things I already am considering. Just another way to make my self esteem worse. My thoughts say I don't deserve a job paying a livable wage because I am not good enough for one.
I have another appointment in a couple weeks to see the counselor. I have already mentioned a bit of this to them already. But, I also have this urge to just start cancelling the appointments. I know not to, but it this is how it works. My boyfriend says I am strong, but I don't feel like it. I guess faking it is the best I can do.
