    Really beautiful layout page. I've scrapped my ancestors, Mom, Dad, Grandpa & Mama, and I wouldn't take for the album. However, I found it a little difficult 'cause I kept remembering and missing them. I am the only one left other than my DH and kids. It really is kinda emotional..but, in a good way. Thanks for sharing.

    Mary,
    You did an amazing job on that page and I agree, you should put it in a frame. Somewhere where you can see it all the time. You did great showing it, I would have been a balling squalling mess. I miss my dad so much. He's been gone 8 years, but it hurts so bad it feels like it's been 8 minutes. Thanks for all the amazing inspiration you share with me.
    God Bless

    Mary....The tears came from my eyes as you told about your mom & dad's Love Story. It reminds me so much of me and my husband. So many of our memories are just like this as there were so many in the service in our time. The page is just beautiful and everything is perfect about it. They sound like wonderful parents but we know of their wonderful daughter. Thanks for all you share and your work is outstanding as always.
    Thanks for the chance to win this cart. Maybe I will get lucky.

    That is such a beautiful LO Mary! I know you want to make some More of these LO's for your siblings but if you are unable to do it soon you could always take the LO to a copy place and have them print it out on some nice paper to give to your family until you are able to make some more and that way they will be able to enjoy sooner rather than later. I also think it's a great idea to frame it. :) Tfs and have a great day.

Wonderful embellishments from Straight From The Nest too! I too have some special pictures I'd like to scrap, but I've been holding off until I'm sure I can do them justice. Just want to get them right! Your page would look terrific in a frame!! TFS!
