Here are a few more backgrounds in my journal/planner book.
We were away for the past couple of days for Meg's college orientation. Meg was busy scheduling her classes, getting her dorm room, id taken, parking decal.......all the things that come with college life. I could tell she was nervous, and unsure of herself. I have a feeling there were several there feeling the same way, but of course she was thinking she was the only one. After Thursday's evening session the kids were able to get together. She slept in the dorm while we were at a local hotel. When we arrived Friday morning she had a different outlook. I am so thankful she is now really excited!!!
We got home last night, it's not too long of a drive, but driving up one day and coming back the next makes it seem long. I have my journal group this morning. I will try to take some pictures. These ladies are doing an amazing job!!

Good morning, Mary! You reminded me of when we took Drew to college for his orientation...3 fast years ago...! I was every bit as nervous as he was. Aaaah. Now he'll be a senior...already. I love your pages! Wish I was at your class. Enjoy! ~Kathy
I remember having the same feelings of insecurity your daughter has. It will get better and it is great that her outlooked changed so quickly. She will have a great time. Just remember... she will always come home for a home cooked meal... at least I did.
okay, we are all in love with the hand stencil so can you tell us who makes it and/or where to find it?
love them so much...yes, do tell about the stencil. it rocks! Such big changes for Meg -- and you guys. Hugs all around!
The hand stencil is a henna stencil! I ordered them on ebay. I received three or four large and small with different designs. Just give ebay a search. :)
I like the lace hand Mary. You have been a busy little beaver. Thanks for the update on your family. Blessings.
Well, Mama, another milestone is marked, and change is never-ending.
She will be fine, because she's been taught well. Her wings will hold, and He will be there.
~hugs~
I'm lovin' these new pages! I have a hand stencil similar to yours and I use it quite a lot.
So, so beautiful. And so glad your daughter found comfort and joy in the new path on her journey. What a huge week for you. Wishing you some deep, sweet rest this weekend:)
