Love the honesty of journaling! I also love how you made the photo the star of the layout...I am always about centering and I like how you thought outside of thebox and made the photo to one side! Well done!
I have to admit I gave my mom a hard time in my teens, too. Sigh. My sister always said i was lucky I had sons instead of daughter, LOL. I love the white space here. Room to contemplate. And to think, the grandkids will wonder what the heck that thing you're leaning on is! Perfect choic of wood pp to match the wall behind you.
The wood paneling background is perfect for this, and I think we've all been thru that anger stage, I know I did as well. We get over it, live goes on, and hey you have a good memory to scap.
