Last weekend I went to a crop in the next town over from where I live.
I met some friends there and we worked throughout the weekend.
While I was there I worked on a layout and this one lady kept coming over to check on my progress. I thought it was strange of her to keep coming over and check to see how I was doing. She didn't come over just once...I mean she came over a lot! lol
Once she came to see me to visit.
Once she came to see what I was working on.
Once she came to see how I was doing on the project.
Once she came to see if I had changed the layout at all.
Once she came over to see if I had finished it yet.
Once she came to see if I had changed it yet again.
Once she came to tell me what she would do.
Once she came to see if I had changed said project to the way that she wanted me to do it.
Once she came to tell me that she thought that it would look better a different way.
And it went on. And on. And on.
But she kept coming back.
Until...she finally told me the truth. She didn't like my layout. She didn't like the paper I was using. She didn't like the way that I was designing it.
Seriously? Did this happen?
Yes. And I have witnesses! lol
My friends could not believe that I would just sit there and let this lady talk to me the way the way that she was talking.
And then finally I had to say something. I had to let her know that this wasn't her project and that I wouldn't be scrapbooking in the way that I liked to scrapbook if I had done it her way.
Basically I just looked at her and said, It's my project not yours.
So. Since she was so straight forward with me about NOT liking my project I thought I'd post it on my blog. Because, well...I LOVE the way that it turned out!
And it's exactly the way that I want it, with the right papers AND The right colors. And most importantly....it's done! :0)
Have a GREAT night!

Well, I like your your page a lot. I's pretty different from the way I scrap pages, but that's kind of the point, isn't it? If we all scrapbooked exactly the same, it would be super boring. What a wierd thing for her to say!
I love it! It has the Jill signature style, and anyone who knew you well could see that! Way to stick with doing it YOUR way!
