Reflections

Saying goodbye to people we love is the hardest part about living the life we live. Before we left in July, I tried to snap a picture or two of the last moments with my Na-na on her farm. The first layout features a happy Georgia Kate, hugging Jaroo goodbye. Materials used include a template by Fiddle Dee Dee Designs from Fuss Free: Pennies from Heaven, and Lazy Days kit by Designs by Kat, both from Scrap Orchard.This layout is of my two Margarets. Maggie, giving her great-grandmother and namesake a final hug goodbye. The look on my Na-na's face is what fascinated me about this picture. Emotion, memories, contentment...it's all there. Template is Fuss Free: Portraits by Fiddle Dee Dee and kit is All Natural by Elise's Pieces.

Water...

We do not have cold water right now. That means there is no water feeding our hot water tank so we will soon be without water at all if it doesn't return to our building.

This always causes me to reflect about how much we depend on water, how much we waste water, and how so very many people the world over do not have clean water to drink.

Water is vital to life. Don't take it for granted. I'm only sad that it takes me these periodic water shortages to remind me to be grateful for clean water.

My sister's wedding album...

I couldn't share all of these layouts as I was creating them because I wanted them to be a surprise for my sister, Regina, when we returned to the US for a visit in June. But, now that she has the album, I thought I'd share some of the pages with my blog readers! I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed creating them!








Materials used include kits by Jennifer Labre Designs (ScrapMatters), Elise's Pieces (35-50% of moving sale at The Digichick going on right now as she moves to ScrapMatters), Nikki Epperson (The Digichick) and Fiddle Dee Dee Designs templates (ScrapOrchard)

A whirlwind life!

I am assuming that I have lost all or most of my readers with my lazy blogging! I keep trying to come back to it and post once and then I'm gone again! Well, hopefully, this time I'm back for awhile! I've got a ton of scrapbooking layouts to share, and life in general has been exciting recently! Lots to chat about and catch up on!

As for my blogging friends, I hope to be reading up on your blogs, too! Happy Summer! :D Keep watching this spot...more posts coming soon!
