Default I am overwhelmed!

I am totally overwhelmed by the pages that are showing up in the AAM Challenge Gallery! I'm almost in tears - it's so awesome to see everyone joining in and the journaling is just so REAL and HONEST. I love it!!!!!

The pages are very inspiring. TFS the link. I really enjoyed looking at everyone's pages. I might give it a try.

I just posted mine too, not an easy thing, but very important! I hate writing about myself, but the one thing you mentioned was how cool it would be to know more about our grandparents etc and that really struck me. So, I just wanted to leave something to my children about who I am now. Wonderful challenge Steph, thank you!

I love to read the journaling too. You get to know everybody and that is so nice. I'm glad you came up with this idea Steph.

I'm so glad to see that you are all doing this. It makes me very, very happy to read all the stories.

Totally excited about doing this every two weeks!

It's so wonderful to learn more about our friends here at DD, but more importantly, we're leaving a legacy for those who will follow us. My grandchildren only know me as Grandma right now, but someday (I hope), they will want to know who I was as a person.

The AAM pages are absolutely awe inspiring! I love each and everyone of them . . . all different . . . all fabulous.

I did one almost two years ago called "me at sixty-three" . . . I haven't changed much . . . trying to decide whether to do another. Trying to come up with another way of thinking about "Me"! {This sounds so narcissistic, doesn't it?}

I just wanted to add how much I'm enjoying these pages also.. what a wonderful idea! and everyone is doing such a great job of it. I have to sit down later tonight and comment on all of them because they are all seriously deserving of heaps of praise.

I can't make up my mind whether to participate or not... seems I have a slight aversion to having my picture taken... ok well it's more than a slight aversion, in fact I probably need therapy :-( Isn't it funny how some people are more comfortable on one side of the camera than the other? ...but it looks like it's going to be such a fun challenge... hmmm have to give this some serious thought

I have really enjoyed reading about everyone and where they are right now. It's been fun to get to know you all better, and I think some of these layouts are the best I've ever seen.
