Granted I may live to be an old fragile woman whose children grow old of my stories and pages. But what if I don't. What if I too suddenly pass away. Would my boys remember me? Certainly Everett would not. Griffin at 4 might have the odd glimpse of a memory.. It is breaking my heart just thinking of it. I want them to know me... to know what they mean to me. So, I am vowing to do more scrap-booking, desperate scrap-booking (2 pages a day), to get all those feelings out just incase. To lessen this weight on my heart, to record those memories they will forget without me.
Of COURSE I will still be making my cards :) But I think there will be a lot more scrap-booking on here, so if you only come for cards then I apologize for the sudden change of tone.
Because of this I have really found a groove. I have a picture size I'm in love with, and I have gone back to my 8.5 by 11 ways. I'm in LOVE with scrap-booking again. Who'd have thought? Not I.

Supplies:
Chipboard: My Minds Eye

I'm sorry to hear of your bad news. Death never comes at a good time. And, I would have to say that one of the BIGGEST rewards I get from my scrapbooking would have to be watching and listening as my girls look through the pages I have completed for them. I hear their memories and their stories from times past. They always make my heart smile and I'm so happy to be around to hear it.
I love the stitching on your pages. I have never tried stitching over chipboard but I will have to soon! Have a good weekend!!
So sorry about your friend, Laura. Even if it's not a close friend it just shakes you up. Your layouts are always so touching, and this one is no exception.
I am so sorry for your loss Laura, life is so short. Big Hugs! Your LO is stunning. You have me all a teary mess this morning! :)
Hugs
Laura
I've always followed for your cards but your layouts are just as amazing. And as you say a true gift. I think keeping a blog acts as showing the real you too and fantastic for documentation.
So sorry for your friend and her family.
I don't know how I missed this page! I am so sorry to read you lost a friend, even though you two weren't close, I am sure it was still hard. I love your pages as much as your cards. This one is no exception. It is beautiful.
