I probably give too much to my parents, husband and son. It makes me happy when they are happy. I should do a happy scrapbook page...just be happy.Mom Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03680385695723525190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265796383131150078.post-69634840790001617162011-09-14T15:24:43.513-05:002011-09-14T15:24:43.513-05:00I'd love to put the truth on a page like this ...I'd love to put the truth on a page like this but I'm afraid someone might see it and I'm not ready to be that honest yet.

So for me I think I would document how I need to balance my time and stop being so annoyed when people interupt my "me time"! :)Nitashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207904333370683897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265796383131150078.post-13503197517692058062011-09-14T13:35:33.910-05:002011-09-14T13:35:33.910-05:00I definately have an energy drain that I work with...I definately have an energy drain that I work with.

I'm a mommy, a wife, I work full time, I love to craft and am addicted to exercise.. I have so many projects going at any given time. I am going to work on my "me journal" where I add my artwork and craft ideas, thoughts and feelings. It truly helps to release the inner dialogue going on in my overloaded mind. <br />I love these kits and all the prompts to go along with them!Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847639596079213091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265796383131150078.post-22922365100629621272011-09-12T07:55:20.746-05:002011-09-12T07:55:20.746-05:00beautiful giveaway! for me--finding a balance bet...beautiful giveaway! for me--finding a balance between being a mom and being with my significant other. finding balance with personal and emotional issues that I'm facing and not let it define who i am as person.. <br /><br />michelesscrapycreations35 at yahoo dot comMichele's Scrapy Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920824512703384683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265796383131150078.post-11868896506056094532011-09-11T21:06:03.305-05:002011-09-11T21:06:03.305-05:00What an appropriate series of questions for me.

Balance between my own health and wellbeing and that of others. Balance between my old home and my new, married life. <br />I know that I can only do for others when I make sure that my tools are sharp and I am working to the best of my ability, but working in mental health, I’m so used to constantly giving and not recharging my own power cell. <br />Melissa- I love how you used the journaling cards on your layout. <br /><br />A beautiful kit!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006039004704942643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265796383131150078.post-68971849416409887082011-09-11T20:01:26.043-05:002011-09-11T20:01:26.043-05:00Kits definately sound interesting - on my way now ...Kits definately sound interesting - on my way now to check them outkitsNbitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137761916627486867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265796383131150078.post-27895293474331652882011-09-11T17:54:12.546-05:002011-09-11T17:54:12.546-05:00oh, balance....that elusive goal. i think we are a...oh, balance....that elusive goal. i think we are all always hoping to attain it....i wish it were easier to do so! <br />thanks for the giveaway! :)Lori Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421472064631802448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265796383131150078.post-51799964783495683012011-09-11T16:56:30.226-05:002011-09-11T16:56:30.226-05:00I definitely don't know how to take time to fo...I definitely don't know how to take time to focus on myself. I put more than 110% toward any job or really any activity. I had to quit my full-time job because I tried to conquer a mountain each day--that is very difficult when you have lupus!!! So, I love that Rachel has made this kit on balance! Of course, I would love to win it! Her kits really are the best out there!!!
