ReplyDeletelooks fabulous! love all the journalling done in your own hand.. it makes it more personal i think.. well done on the challenge..
ReplyDeleteHi Mitra! How are you going?
ReplyDeleteIts wonderful to see so much journalling! LOVE it. Read the whole thing and had a warm feeling inside. You are great at writing things out and its the best thing about scrapping I think! He looks so cute too with that umbrella.
I think the bullying thing is very tough. I have seen it from a teachers point of view and I just know how it affects kids. Its hard. You need to tell him to ignore it, and to not react and to just keep on telling his teacher or you. But i do know how tough it is for parents. I hope all works out. Let us know how it goes. All the very best.
Thanks so so much for playing along with us. Your continued support is always appreciated. Take good care, Nadia.

Your layout is awesome and I absolutely LOVE your handwriting. It's so very pretty! I hope that you all are able to get the bullying issue resolved. Jordan had one last year and I had to go to the school for disciplinary action. This year they are friends. Go figure!
