I know how you feel.
When my son got baptised last year I decided to do a sampler for him, which I basically made up as I went along.
The thing I never thought about until after, much to my embarrasment, is that I never centered the text!
So it always looks odd to me now.
He wont let me have it back to rip it out though, so I have to live with it! but you can be sure I'll always think about centering text where needed on anything else! So yeah, we do learn by these experiences, so maybe it's not a bad thing they happen.
There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE! 
? I like the way you start with the outline, you can see great progress that way!
It is so bright and fun. Great job!!!!!
