This is me.... by homeschoolmom

This is me....

For my Get Pushed challenge this week, I was asked to make a collage that tells who I am as a person. So, this is me, using my favorite Willow Tree figurines,....wife of 24 years, mother of 3, homeschooler for 12 years, musician and family photographer....
I've also included one of my favorite Army wife quotes because it sums up all the times I've been called to be "Army Strong!" as an "Army of One" for a week or a month or 26 or 31 months. The background is the flag my husband flew for me over his camp in Iraq on Mother's Day 2011.
Lovely sentiment

This is a beautiful statement about who you are Lisa- and the story behind the flag in the background brought tears to my eyes!

This collage illustrates the roles you play in such a sweet way.! I really love the Willow Tree figures and have a few myself. (I have a friend who is an avid collector!) Very pretty collage, Lisa!

Fantastic collage. I love your idea of using the figurines. I was an armed forces wife for ten years while my husband was in the Royal Navy, but I was glad when he eventually became a civilian.

@dh Thanks! Retirement is still 5 years away. I absolutely can't wait. It's definitely time! He's been in the military in some way for 25 years already.

Such a superb idea! My grandma has the same figures... They're so cute :)

What a great idea. I feel like I've learned more about you through this collage. I imagine the life of an army wife to be filled with challenges. You've captured that and the positives.

Very nice collage and I can relate to some items like wife, mother and homeschooler plus I have a musician in my family.
