July 21, 2006

Dawn... the fact that you did this lo....means your perfect to me! I love ya for standing up for curves. It's what real women are~ perfect women are!

June 27, 2006

Wow Dawn, what in the world are you saying? You're beautiful and you look fantastic to me!!! Thanks so much for sharing!! :smile:

June 27, 2006

You deserve major kudos for exposing yourself like this...YOU GO GIRL!! I think you look fantastic, but I know we are all our own worst critics. But as for the LO itself, I love this idea. The journal strips are fun and the letters on your title are very fun. GREAT job!!!

You look great! But I definately understand your feelings. Love the title. I am a bit confused by the journaling in the first strip. Is it worded the way you intended? Another cute lo. :)

June 16, 2006

This is such a wonderful page! I love the way you did the title! I think you look amazing girl! :)

June 15, 2006

Dawn, this LO is amazing! You have more courage than I do Chickie! And you LOOK amazing! This will be wonderful for your DD to have in the future (now too!) ;)

June 14, 2006

you look PERFECT to me!! love the idea of this lo!! fantastic job!

This layout rocks! You look great in that suit!

June 13, 2006

Terrific lo Dawn! I think the majority of us, no matter what our shape or size, feel the same as you do. Love the way you did the title and the journaling strips; tfs :)

You are so brave to do a page like this. If I looked like you, I would do it too. I have to much to list about myself that I don't like. I think you look great, be proud of yourself.

What a great page. You're quite courageous to make a page about what you perceive as your "flaws" (although I don't see them). :)

June 11, 2006

WOW!!!! I am so inspired by you! And I'm really proud of you for doing a LO like this! I love it!

June 11, 2006

Hey Dawn, I have never seen a perfect person yet and I think you look beautiful, I love this 'real' lo, TFS :)

June 10, 2006

Very cool idea!!

June 10, 2006

Wow, you are much braver than I am! I love the journaling strips and the butterfly

Really like how you approached this topic and I like how you put all the elements together to make one creative LO :)! The only thing I would add is something positive - a quote or Scripture verse - to counter-balance the negative-sounding journaling. The first one that popped into my mind was Psalm 139:14 "I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well." I do applaud you for including such a vulnerable photo of yourself on the LO - very courageous and daring and I think it's a wonderful photo :)! TFS :)! -- kimB

This is a beautiful LO!! Those colors mixed together are so much fun, and I love the butterfly! And... omg you look GREAT!! I wish I looked nearly as good as you do! I totally understand the LO tho, your honesty about your feelings and the fact that you're scrapping this about yourself is wonderful! Great job on the scraps challenge too, love how you used them!

June 09, 2006

you are certainly braver than me and you have a cuter body! Great lo!

June 09, 2006

Man if I looked that good in a suit, I would wear it everywhere I went!!!! You look fabulous! I love the black and white, because, isn't that how we see ourselves? We love it or hate it. I think you did an awesome job on this Dawn you should be very proud. Don't be so hard on yourself, I think you look GREAT!

June 09, 2006

I think you look great too! I couldn't list on the page all the things about my body!!!!! This is really a cool idea! I think you hit a winner with this one!!!!!

June 09, 2006

This layout is very courageous. I admire your willingness to share your feelings about your body. If you can talk about it, it has less power over you! I personally think you look beautiful (and if I ever weighed 152 there would be a "look at me" layout in a thong (well, not!)... but it all depends on where you're standing. I hate to be nitpicky on such a personal layout, but I did notice two grammar mistakes that kind of bugged me. In your first strip I think "is" would be more gramatically correct than "it's," and in your third it should be "too" fat (the most common grammatical error in the English language). Sorry, the years of proofreading just come out sometimes no matter how much I try to contain them. Thanks for sharing this brave layout.

June 09, 2006

Dawn, I think you look amazing!!!! Your legs are not fat and you have got one FLAT stomach!!!! I know how it is to not like parts of yourself though. Love the butterfly, it is so pretty!!! And again girl, you look great!!!

June 08, 2006

I agree! I love your pose and your courage to make yourself vulnerable. I love your journaling strips and the way you placed them at an angle!

June 08, 2006

ATTITUDE - the pose-hands on your hips- take 'em on girl- you look great. Just love this LO.

June 08, 2006

Here I thought you looked pretty darn good Dawn! Great job with your challenges.

June 08, 2006

Great lo idea! I think you are doing much better than you think you are, we all tend to be too hard on ourselves. None of us is perfect, nor were we meant to be. I think it is good to recognize that we have imperfections so we can try to improve, but then to not focus on them too much and remember there are a whole lot more great things about us, and use those gifts and talents for good. Like the journaling strips too! Nice job on the challenges!

June 08, 2006

You deserve kudos for courage to make yourself vulnerable this way. It is encouraging to all of us. And we do worry too much about how we look. What more can any of us do than to work with what we've got?

June 08, 2006

Great job on both challenges. You look mah-velous!

June 08, 2006

Dawn I would pay money to have those legs. And girl you look great. it's an amazing "honest and real" layout...the kind that our family will love .....great job.....
