Pride.
Tags:One of the big things on my mind as I get ready to head home is the election next week - I can't believe it is only a week away. I want to share with you guys one of the ways that I got to help Chris - I designed a mail piece that people in our district received today. A piece that celebrates Chris and expresses my pride in him:
So today I would love to read about who you are proud of in your life? Your spouse, partner, parent, child, yourself? This makes a great topic for a scrapbook page or a mini-book - I would love to see your creation if you have a chance to get creative over the next couple of days.
Here's a close-up on the layout:
Peace to you and yours -

Ali! What a wonderful layout! Your love for your family is just incredible! Good luck to Chris next Tuesday!!!
Not to be bold or anything, but I'm proud of myself! I have come a long way in the past year. My husband left me and our (then) 2 year old son for his "other woman" with whom he had an affair with and moved to another state to be with her and I have been struggling to put my shattered world back together ever since. I have come a long way and making progress each and every day. It's not easy and being a single mom every day is hard, but I do it and I LOVE it. But, Jackson and I are strong and can get through anything together.
You are such an INSPIRATION Ali! Bless you for everything you do!

I can just imagine every scrapbooker in the district keeping this and thinking "I am going to make a LO using this design!"
Good luck to Chris!

That is about the most amazing piece of political advertising that I have ever seen! You are amazing and Chris should be rather proud of you as well!
Thanks for sharing!

I love that flyer. How cool of you to do that. I am sure that Chris is equally proud of you too Ali!!
I would have to say that I am proud of my husband. He has really changed a lot in the last year. He was in an accident at work in January and left paralyzed. So scary. We didn't know what to do really. Had two boys and a baby on the way. He has been this strong pillar through it all. Kept me going and made me believe. It's been awesome to watch. He has been such a great husband, helping me with everything that he can. He's been the same cool dad he always was and is now able to be more involved. I won't say there aren't hard days for us all, but he just looks at all the wonderful he has and keeps going. He's awesome. I am proud of him for being able to climb over this hurdle with such grace. He is my hero.
I have started a little book for him. Someday I'll have to post it.

What a great work, Ali :) Very well done and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing that with all of us.
I am an incredibly proud wife and mother, my heart feels like it will just burst with it at times. I just finished a layout loaded with the pride I feel for my daughter. I'm uploading it to my blog tonight.
Hope you had a happy and healthy Halloween with your family :)
