Is it a Hippo? A Whale? No it's just me!

Geez it's hot here in Tassie today, as I assume it probably is every where else too! Lucky for me the coolest room in the house is my scrap room ( yeah like I need an excuse lol). This is a layout I have created for a new blog called Daring You To Scrap. The challenge is to use song lyrics.

So before anyone starts sending me congratulations, this photo is 14 years old! Those god awful denim overalls just scream early 90's though don't they! I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this photo. I love it as it is the only photo I have of me pregnant and 3 weeks from when this was taken I would meet the most precious person in the world to me. The hate comes for being a somewhat self concious size 8 ballooning to to the size of a Biggest Loser contestant. I never felt that beautiful glowing feeling that I hear some women talk about, I just felt incredibly fat! You would be forgiven for thinking I was carrying triplets! So the lyrics I have chosen for my journalling come from a song called Zion by Lauren Hill.

  3. This is stunning Georgia.
    I saw a couple of your pages in the latest Scrapbooking Memories and I thought WOW!
    From a fellow Tassie scrapper...there doesn't seem to be many of us about.
    Where abouts in Tassie are you? I live between the NW coast and Launnie. In Launnie today and I agree...WOW it's hot!

  5. Thank you, Georgia, I needed to laugh..I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I never feel like " the cute pregnant girl" but more like a whale, lol! Glad I'm not the only one!! But really, this layout is soooo very gorgeous, nevermind the overalls ;) I love the beautiful layering and the flowers, awesome work!

  6. What a gorgeous layout Georgia!! The photo is beautiful, but I know what you mean with not feeling that glowing feeling. I picked up so much weight with my first pregnancy and felt like whale! Lol! It's great to have the memories though. Great song lyrics too. :)
