I love to write; I've been writing in a journal, since I received my first diary when I turned 12. It's how I usually start my scrapbooking layouts. Lately, I have been chasing my little girl with my camera trying to get her to do something that matches something I've written {I created a journal called love letters; in letters to her I document her firsts & my feelings of these occurences}.

Words are my friends, and I've noticed that some people absolutely avoid journaling in their scrapbooking because they don't know what to write about. Well, on thursdays I'll take a common word, define it, and give you several examples of other words that have similar meaning.
