Challenge #21

Posted by The Design Experiment on 1:07 PM
Hey Experimenters!

Ready for a new challenge?

We all do it.....sleep. Sleeping restores us, it heals, it keeps us healthy, but falling asleep is another thing. Sometimes we lay awake for hours, our minds racing, thinking of the day ahead, the previous hours, or sometimes remembering happy times.

Our challenge this week comes from Sasha:

When you close your eyes at night what do you see? Is it a positive image? Is it a negative image? What does the darkness behind your eyes show you?

****************************************
Our Guest Designer this week is the super cute and SUPER talented Rachel Denbow!

A Bit About Rachel:

I collect discarded items and re purpose them into pretty pieces to display in my home. I have two good looking men in my life but one is still in diapers. I am thankful for the special people and opportunities that are a part of my life right now and try to embrace them all and still manage to get some sleep.

You're Not Dreaming Anymore
By Rachel Denbow

Journaling:

I used to lay awake and think about what our house would look like and what kind of memories we'd make. We're on the flipside of those dreams now and it's been fabulou so far.

Thank you Rachel for your amazing layout and your continued support of us at TDX!

Closed Eyes
By Sasha

Journaling:

Closes eyes .. my images are always so positive and peaceful it is so fun to imagine and escape to my happy place! I try to keep them shut tight..just for a while...because I am safe behind those eyes!

Behind These Hazel Eyes
By Emily

Journaling:

Before I drift off to sleep, I usually spend way too much time obsessing about what I've done wrong that day...Too many carbs, too much yelling, etc...It's an evil and unfair ritual..a mental beating before bedtime.

*******************************************
Happy Place
By Amy

Journaling:

screaming children, laundry, schedules, grocery store, cleaning, dinner, school work, sports...sometimes I just have to close my eyes and go to my happy place.

Eye See
By Kimmi

Journaling:

Eye See hope for tomorrow.

******************************************
When I Close My Eyes
By Kimberly

Journaling:

Every night when I close my eyes, I go through my day with the Lord, and do what I call a Heart Check. I ask for forgiveness and try to do better. I can sleep in peace and wake up with a fresh clean slate. I thank God for His grace, and live each new day to glorify His name. 8/08

This is my first try at The Design Experiment! I did a honest and different layout for myself, but hey, that`s the reason why it is named "The Design Experiment" right?!
