Fri 7/22: How are you Coping

You look great in this photo! Love the journaling and the LO is wonderful.

Well... I don't know how you are feeling inside, but you look great! I love the circle around your face, the hanging tag, and the journal strips. Great layering!

Great layout-you look great and the journaling is wonderful. (I think I spy a typo in the first line of journaling on the layout-copping)

I love the whole feel of this LO, I've never noticed that collection, is it new? The background paper looks great with your shirt and I really like the stitched stems embellishment cluster. Your journaling is great too. My (first)husband was in the Persian Gulf during most of my pregnancy, when their ship came home, some of the guys on deck commented on how fat I'd got while they were gone. Duh, I was eight months along! You look beautiful! Congratulations!

Absolutely lovely layout! I love your journaling and outlook -- you sure do look and sound great!

I also really like your background and how you typed your journaling on strips. Wonderful page for your babies to see in years to come...

Oh this is a gem of a layout! The journaling is great and you look fantastic!! (even though you may not feel it!) I didn't realize all this is going on in your life - adding you to my little prayer notebook here on my desk. ((hugs))

You look lovely, Tas! I think you are glowing and I really loved your journaling. I did not realize your husband was deployed - why didn't we know that? I'm really suprised - but I will also add you to my prayer list and know that I have been thinking about you all along. Beautiful, beautiful layout, Tas - thanks for sharing with us!

I think you get those responses from others because they don't feel they would be able to cope if they were in your situation. But obviously, you are, and you look great! Keep moving forward!

This is a great page of a very important event in your life. The journaling is exceptional. You will look back on this page someday and realized how strong you really were during this difficult time. You look great and congratulations on your pregnancy!

Wonderful layout! I'm glad you're doing fine.

God bless you, your husband, and those twins!

Pretty layout. You look beautiful.

I think that you are amazing to be coping so well. You look lovely on the photo. Really great layout.

Such a wonderful page. I love the papers youve used but especially I love that journaling.

I'm so glad you are coping. I was there 55 years ago, but I wasn't having twins. I wish I had been a scrapbooker then. I love your page.

My sister had a summer pregnancy & I remember this look so well. Congratulations, by the way! I like the way you've put your journaling on the strips and those are really nice papers you've used - they have a hot, summer look about them, somehow.

I enjoyed reading this. Now is probably the bit you will cope with best - you will be flat out when the babies come! Last year when I was going through cancer treatment someone said to me I was coping well to which I replied that I was just doing what anyone would do - getting on with it - and they said "Yes, maybe, but it is YOU who is doing it now". Pat yourself on the back every day, you seem to be doing wonderfully x love your layout, it speaks of far more than your pregnancy :-) oh and the colours are just right too!

YOu look fantastic, and it is a silly question really! You do what you have to and remember in a little bit you will have 2 beautiful baby girls to hold!!!!

This is such a charming way of documenting this time! Great photo of you, and you look wonderful. You are amazing! Keep up the good work. Love the layering and the strips for the great journaling. Well done! Cope on!
