I just completed it! I really liked how it turned out too! A layout for Ryan's 11th birthday. He's growing up so quickly we are feeling in awe and almost in shock. Tomorrow in fact he leaves for adventure camp, kayaking, abseiling, and all that including camping outdoors in tents. I'm rather nervous as it is his first time away from home by himself. But he is totally cool and excited. We gave him one of our old phones and I said you have to call home once a day and if you don't I'm coming right down to pay you a visit, and then he totally freaked out. hehe! I'm sure he'd call! :)
The journaling reads:
On your 11th birthday we are amazed and in awe at how far God has brought you! We thank Him for your sweet obedient nature, your intelligence, the discipline and hardwork you put into your schoolwork. We also thank God for the other side of your personality that we see blossoming, the funny you, your wacky sense of humour, the newly opinion-ated you, full of comments and pre-teen takes on everything! We think we need prayer too, ‘cos we are not prepared for how quickly you are growing up! We ask the Lord to bless you with great friendships, and a great year in school. We pray that you will get many opportunities to try out all kinds of things,and grow your independence and confidence!
Most of all we pray that you will grow in your faith and knowledge of your God and Saviour, that you will walk with Him as you enter this next new phase in your life, begin your adventure with your hand in His. Amen

ReplyDeleteThanks for the template - Another fantastic layout, and beautiful prayer for your son. What a wonderful Christian heritage he has. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky boy to have you and your husband as parents. The prayer is fabulous and will be a keepsake for him for years to come. Camp, huh? Goodness, he sure has grown up since I started reading here (let's see....) almost a year ago. You layout is gorgeous and thank you for sharing the template of it. :)
ReplyDeleteSoooo cute! THANKS
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your wonderful templates. May I suggest a small preview to be included in the zip file of what the template looks like. It would make things easyier when looking for one to use for a particular layout. The second thing, might you consider adding a newsletter sign up to your blog and that way subscribers would get an email when you do a new posting. Just a couple ideas I hope you might consider. I love your templates as they are simple and you can do so much with them. The shadows area awesome. Just love them, love them, love them and of course I always leave credit to you when uploading to gallerys. Many thanks again and keep them coming. Hugs from Carena
