On\u00a0August 1, Cocoa Daisy<\/a> started with an initiative to create a “Book of Me”.
\nEvery day in August\u00a0there will be a post (“Daily Prompt”) on the
\nmessage board which can be used as a page in a Book of Me Album.
\nAt the end of the 31 days,\u00a0you’ll have 31 pages about yourself to compile.<\/p>\n

Since I have an account there, I’d thought I would join in –
\nI decided to do a 6×6 album, and cut all the cardboard in advance.<\/p>\n

There has been two prompts so far (August 1 and 2) and I like them both!!!
\n(if there’s a prompt you don’t like, you just skip that one)
\nIf you wanna join in – it’s not to late! Hop on over and play along!<\/p>\n

I have already finished two pages…
\nwanna see?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe first prompt
\nwas all about
\n“Bare facts”<\/p>\n

“Kicking off our
\nBOM with a page
\nwith FACTS<\/strong> about
\nyourself. A kind
\nof vital statistics
\nof facts about you
\ntoday. <\/em>The ‘today’
\nelement for these
\nfacts are important,
\nso do include the
\ndate \/ your age
\nwhen writing
\nthese statistics”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0I used a piece of an old notebook, basic grey paper, Graphic 45 images,
\nJenni Bowlin alpha’s an some old lace from my stash.
\n(This first page was a single 6×6, from now on it’s gonna be a double (12\u00a0x 6)<\/p>\n

The second prompt was brought by Aida:<\/p>\n

“If You Really Knew Me Then<\/strong> …
\nOooooooh …… I’ve got the delicious topic of secrets,
\nthings people would like to know about us back when !
\nThink back to a couple of years, what would you like people
\nto know about you back then?”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ve notices: it is all in Dutch.
\nSince I’m from the Netherlands, I decided to do this in my own language,
\nafter all, it IS a book of ME!<\/p>\n

I’m sure you could read that first page (“feiten” = “facts”) and I know
\nyou’re curious about the second page (’cause you read”ssst”) so let me
\ntranslate it for you:<\/p>\n

“1983 – the thing that (hardly) anyone knew back then…
\nI had a love affair with my teacher”<\/em><\/p>\n

(All paper, stickers\u00a0and embellishments come from my stash,\u00a0
\nthere’s no brandname on it anymore…)<\/p>\n

So now you all know my secret from those days!
\n(although I didn’t say\u00a0which teacher I had the affair with \ud83d\ude1b )
\nThere’s no use\u00a0in trying to\u00a0blackmail me with this knowledge though…
\nit’s 25 years ago, we separated, moved on\u00a0and no harm was done.<\/p>\n

I’m allready looking forward to the next prompt tomorrow
\n(but I also planned to go see the new Harry Potter movie tomorrow afternoon
\nso I don’t know if I get\u00a0the page done\u00a0and published…)\u00a0but I will put
\nthe finished pages on my blog from time to time, so keep on
\nvisiting me to learn “all about me”.<\/p>\n

See ya,
\nJe t’embrasse!<\/p>\n
