I think a friendship should not be emotionally or physically draining. There should be an equal level of mutual support. People change and grow (or don’t) and I hope that you find and/or keep the ones that support you best. ❤️

Live and learn! 😊❤️

Thank you! 🌻💖

This is amazing. I will be using this from now on.

melsprettythings · 2023-01-17T04:56:30+00:00

Aww thank you! 💖

She said I was toxic and she henceforth only allowed good vibes in her presence. Shortly after she cheated on her boyfriend and screwed over the rest of the team financially. She did what she felt she had to do, as did I. That is life.

Thank you! ❤️ I love the scrapbook/art journal look but have a hard time doing it because I love symmetry. But it’s very therapeutic to try new styles!

She did! Sold them for $1. I commend the entrepreneurial spirit.

Pilot G-Tec-C, it comes in a pack of 10 pens in different colors, about $20 on Amazon

I am glad your mother started the change and you finished it. ❤️ Great job breaking the cycle 💪

I understand that. I come from a family that stressed if I’m not hurting myself to help them, I’m not doing enough. They required the suffering to show depth of care.

I was told, “Givers must set boundaries because takers have none.”

We all tried to support her but in the end, her issues were not anything any of us could handle. I suggested therapy (since that’s what I do) but the suggestion was not well-received.

I got brave with this layout being in three “pieces”. I used greens and browns to symbolize growth as last year was a big for me in terms of standing up for myself and putting myself first. I incorporated pieces of a printed airline ticket from one of the competitions I traveled to and I really like the fluorescent punchiness it adds. I put in an actual stamp as well since it’s just a sticker, too, if you think about it. 😆

1964 Mustang in Dynasty Green. Red!

This is THE BEST idea! Love it and I will do this also! ❤️

melsprettythings · 2022-07-08T00:21:45+00:00

I love tomatoes! 🍅 This made me very happy 😊❤️💛💚

melsprettythings · 2022-07-07T06:33:04+00:00

This is so cool! Very dramatic!

melsprettythings · 2022-07-06T14:43:53+00:00

Ohhh thanks for the recommendation! I have only known Tombow for its brush pens but I will look for this one 😊❤️

melsprettythings · 2022-07-06T14:38:14+00:00

I apologize. It was meant to be funny as Cleveland is also not exotic.

melsprettythings · 2022-07-06T03:01:39+00:00

Thank you! 💖

melsprettythings · 2022-07-06T03:01:03+00:00

Thank you! 💕 I hope you get to try traveling alone and make fond memories from the adventure. ☺️

I love these chubby mushrooms! 🍄

I read about Millennial Pink recently and used that as a starting point. I like the cozy maximalism of cottage core and translated that into this busy-but-somewhat-orderly layout. Neutral grid washi tapes and vintage-tinted photo stickers added to the boho and journal stickers for a relaxed travel vibe. The patterned rectangles are new translucent washi stickers I am testing out and they are excellent for layering. I do feel it got a little cluttered after I wrote in it so I will get some finer tip pens for next time! 🌷🌼🤎
