Welcome to the Blog Hop

Welcome to the Martin Luther King Blog Hop!  We are so glad you stopped by!  Hope you enjoy yourself and please be sure to leave comments...how else are we to know you like or don't like us :)

If this is your first stop along the blog, I would like for you to take a moment and hop over to Karelj's blog (which is #1 below) and check out our hostess.  She has really outdone herself!

Now, on to awesome inspiration!

This is a dream journal. This is my take on Martin Luther King's I have a dream speech. In that speech, he lays out a powerful vision of a future where hate has been put aside in favor of brotherhood. The book itself is just a premade full size journal I got from Barnes and Noble. I added the glitter details to the leaves as well as the word “Dream” along the bottom. Then some ribbon to finish it off. I realize that its a very pink, girly journal that I plan on giving to my kids, but then again I'm a pink, girly kinda person. I wanted it to reflect me even though its meant for them. On the inside covers I collaged pictures of me and my husband going back to when we first met to present day. I outlined some of the photos with ribbon that quotes 1 Corinthians 13. This was the passage that we recited at our wedding. I purposely didn't doing any fancy scrapping on this. It looks very rough and handmade. I wanted to see JUST the important stuff and not get caught up in any details. The pictures of us and the verses that we bound ourselves together with. With this journal, I am going to tell the story of us and our dreams. I would like to someday pass this down to our children. They will have a collected story of our trials and smiles, our almost desperate prayers to have children, and our unfailing love for God and each other.
