When your own words are not enough.....


Sometimes I need a little help journaling and a song is the perfect solution. On this page I have used several verses from Mary J. Blige's song "Take me as I am."

The journaling reads "Now she's older now, she's wiser now. Can't disguise her now. She don't need no one tellin' her what to do and say. No one telling' her who to be. She's on solid ground She's been lost and found. Now, she answers to G-O-D. And she's confident this is not the end. Ask me how I know...cause she is me." The lyrics really seemed to fit my mood and the cut up photograph of me.

So I challenge you to find a song that speaks to your heart and your spirit and use it on a page.

I LOVE your page! I think the idea of using a song to express your thoughts on a page is a great idea. Especially when that song really means something to you. I would like to do that I think when I {re}scrap my wedding photos. On my blog I post some of my scrap pages, usually on Mondays. I call it Masterpiece Monday, you should come check it out some time, you'd fit right in! :-D
