My Birthday
I really feel like this layout is very different from what I usually do, but in the same sense, it's moving vastly towards the style I would like to have.
September was a bit of a crazy month emotionally for me and the last thing I cared about was my birthday which occurred smack dab in the middle of everything that was happening. Strangely enough, my family sort of banded together, and pulled off a really great day despite all the sadness that we were enveloped in. This is why I wanted to document my birthday, not because it was a milestone, but because of the love my family showed me on that day. We were all so very sad in September, but for one day they turned that sadness into a really great celebration for my birthday :)
I wrote a little note inside about all the things that occurred. I also used the sleeve from the coffee my friend surprised me with, a picture of the ice cream cup from when my mom bought me my cake and we had a mini celebration with ice cream, and various other things I had sitting around that I was just too scared to use up but loved immensely.
