This layout was a lesson for me in itself.
Just as I was all ready to pin the elements down after misting the kraft cardstock, the kids accidentally overturned a cup of water and paint on it. I was gonna freak out - at them and at the "ruined" layout when I thought: Hey, isn't this what a REAL home is all about - messy, unexpected, perfect simply because it's IMPERFECT.
So I told the kids it's ok, mummy knows it's an accident and it's perfectly fine - a big step in self-control for me.
And the more I look at the layout, the more I love it, because it's such a reflection of the spontaneity and randomness of everyday home life.
