Once Upon A Sketch Dec 15th Challenge

Well not long now until Christmas and what better way to celebrate everyone's favorite holiday than with the current challenge at Once Upon A Sketch! This months challenge is to journal about how you spend your Christmas day as well as using one of Nadia's stunning sketches. And here is my DT sample.......





Isn't it funny how some photos you have a more emotional reaction to, than others. For me, this photo makes me feel so much. Apart from being very proud of my adorable little elf, every time I look at this photo I can almost feel him in my arms, his exact weight, how it felt to rub my lips along the top of his soft little head and breathe in his smell. I was 22 when I had Mitchell and at the time I thought I was very grown up but looking back I think I was really only discovering who I was. His first 12 months, I think I was on auto pilot. He was a demanding baby who would never sleep without being held and breastfeed up to 8 times a night until he was 8 months old when I started to ween him. I never really had a break as he would never have a bottle EVER! I was SOOOO tired, sometimes I'm not sure I appreciated those special moments as much as I do now.  I am sure it is the same for most first time mums. I wish I had had the opportunity to have more but am so thankful to have had him. He is and will always be the center of my universe which everything else revolves around!!

So anyway here are the prizes up for grabs. Head on over and check out all the amazing DT samples and I really look forward to seeing what you all create!
The winner of this challenge, as chosen by the Design Team will receive these 2 paper lines from Les Papiers De Pandore!
