Without even knowing what my mantra was, I have always lived by the mantra "Live life with passion. Love what you do, do what you love." I have fought, starved, cried, moved, struggled for a successful career in music, and when my parents wanted me to get a "normal" job with a steady income I powered through. It's now paid off and I own a condo, car, support my child and myself ALONE on my income, and it feels good. Thanx SO MUCH Betsy Jo for this challenge. You helped me find my mantra, and learn a little about myself.

WOW WOW WOW WOW is all I can say, girl! Congrats on the successful music career, WAY TO GO! I LOVE that you discovered a little more about yourself through this challenge. That is amazing. LOVE your personal mantra. That is a GREAT way to go about life. Well done on this page too! COOL photo of the piano keys. Love the ribbons and buttons and how you framed the photo with the zigzag stitching. WAY COOL! The paper is perfect for the quote and this is just a rockin' page! Thanks for sharing!

This is such a funky page. I LOVE it. This is so what I want my scrapbooking style to become. I love your mantra. LOVE the pic of the piano keys. It's the angle you'd see at a concert or recital. To me, I can't help but image someone playing it.

Don't know if you'll see this Tobi, on your featured stamper honor day, but I am writing this anyway! I have gone through your gallery (every page) 3 times now. Your style is just as Blondie090277, Kim said, smooth and full of style. But it is your scrapbook pages that have captured my eye. And this one especially. It is stunning in it's simplicity, elegant in style, and poignant with words.
You go, girl...don't know how your life has changed since you wrote this, but Awesome you gave your all for your dream!
