Raising Tina

Good morning to you :) This layout is from Day 8 of LOAD 215 it was a Sunday and the theme was your own story. The prompt was: If your story was a book what would the title be? I came up with: "Raising Tina"
why that do you ask? Let me show you:

 I used DCWV the Gilded Paper stack for majority of the paper other than the blue and that white diamond paper.

 Pictures of me with my Mom and with my Dad, journaling block and a clock to represent the time through the ages.

 My Dad showing me how to slow dance at my cousin's wedding I was along side the picture I added a few words with definitions: journey, create, happiness and dream all the words I consider my life has lived by. Yep there were struggles and tough times but I think these 4 were around more often that the bad.

 A picture of me and one of our cats, me pregnant and Kevin my middle son in the stroller. The title was done with the Gold thickers and the black and white blocks (not everything is black and white :)

 My later years when I had my business on the road and the last picture is hopefully my final work stop in my life. The camera, frame and happy tag came out of the Maggie Holmes ephemera pack.

So the question on the Title "Raising Tina" that came about with the question: When do we ever grown up? Always learning new things. I may have been raised by my parents but still to this day I am raising myself. The definition of Raise: verb: 5A: grow, cultivate 5B: to bring to maturity (have I really matured yet? I don't think I have so that means I am Raising Tina!

You all have a fantastic day!
