Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend!  Welcome to Week Three and Day Five of Grow With Love: Kids Edition.  If you’re just finding us, we’re so happy to have you join in this adventure-in-scrapping with us!!  You can find all the details you need to know {HERE}.  The most important thing to know is: anyone can participate with us at any time (and we hope you do!). And that no matter your scrapping medium, no matter your style, how long or how short you have been scrapping, no matter *what* — Grow With Love can help you harness your inner storyteller and bring your stories to the page.  Just let your creativity guide you throughout the process and let yourself be challenged a little and we think you’ll be really happy (and proud!) of your pages.

We have seen some amazing pages so far!  And we can’t wait to see what’s to come!

So far in the first four prompts we’ve had quite a lot of fun scrapping some history and some personality.  We will build off of this foundation into a little meatier territory this week.

Today’s prompt asks us to consider shades of ourselves that we see in our children.  Let’s take a look:

When we were developing prompts this one (and day six’s too) immediately floated to the forefront of my thinking because these days it seems there isn’t a day that goes by when Bugga does something or says something, or even sighs in such a way, that it doesn’t remind us of me.  Family, friends, they all remark about how she’s so much like me.  So I got to really thinking about that and what of myself I see in her.  What I’m happy I’ve shared with her.

In some respects this prompt could be approached as an all about me page.  In that you need to get a little introspective and reflect about your own personality and character.  And for the purpose of today’s prompt we’d like you to consider yourself fairly, not critically.  Consider those things about yourself that make you proud.  The things you feel are strengths.  When you see your little one, what of yourself do you see?

So take a little time to get reflective and then smile as you scrap those similarities, large or small.

Here’s a bit of inspiration from Crystal:

I can’t wait to see how your kiddos carry a piece of you in them too!

And don’t forget to head over to Crystal’s blog on Wednesday (note the different day due to the Thanksgiving holiday) for Day Six.
