Oh My Goodness. There just aren't very many words that can describe such intensity. I love your work. This page is enchanting. Thanks for sharing such an inspiring story as a glimpse into the life of your wonderful grandmother. I wish I could have known her after reading this.
Great LO! The colors are wonderful and I love the flowers. And the 'dash' idea is very interesting...I've never really thought about the dash on headstones! Very cool :-D
LOVE this page in every way!!! so beautiful to the eye and even more wonderful....the journaling.....love the title too....a fav for sure!! Your work is beautiful!
I just don't know quite where to begin! This is such a beautiful piece of work. I love so much about it;) the stamping, florals, pps, distressing, framing! I'm sure I missed something, so will just give up and send it to my faves for future examination! I too love wandering through cemeteries and reading gravestones BTW!
BEAUTIFUL! The cameo and butterfly on this are great touches. Everything is so intricate and rich, yet gentle and lovely. Awesome work. Touch journaling too
I love all the delicate details on this layout. I especially like the frame on the top photo and the curio and flower centers. Your journaling is so well written I smiled through reading it :o)
This really is such a touching tribute. I can feel your love through your journaling, and only wish that I would have had the privalege to meet her. Beautiful lo.
This LO is dedicated to my maternal grandmother. When I first seen the Damask PP by “ My Mind's Eye' it reminded me of my Grandmother-so that is how the LO began. The title comes from something that some people might find odd- but I am very fascinated by; Walking through cemeteries and reading the head stones- I started doing this as a child. When most people look at the head stone, they only look at the birth and death date, I really look at the “dash” between the birth and death date. I always wonder what happened during the person's dash.
Journaling: So let me tell you a little about my grandmother's dash. Grandmother had eight children-one who developed Whooping Cough when she was less then a year old and suffered severe brain damage from the incident-my grandmother took care of her for 33 years. She was the kindest and gentleness person I have ever known- I know that I am not the only one who felt this way-because every Friday-Sunday my grandmothers house was full of people-friends, family and often strangers. (usually someone she just met) On an average weekend day, there were anywhere from 50-60 people at her home. People would come from miles to visit her and would often stay into the early morning hours listening to her stories and advise of wisdom. I remember late at night, she would put on a pot of coffee for everyone and grab the cookies a head into the living room. In the living room she would share the coffee and cookies and tell us great stories of long ago. After every story ended, there was always a lesson to be learned. I often still think of how her stories have helped me through life's challenges- and I am sure the stories have helped many others. “Rab” her nickname-never met a stranger, had so much love in her heart for the entire world, at least for all of us who loved her so. She would give away her last morsel of food to feed someone hungry-and yes, that might have even included a dog. We all miss her and I wish I had more time and space to just express how wonderful she really was and just how much she contributed to the world!
