Very nice pictures! Altzheimers is near and dear to our family as my dad's mom (my grandmother) passed away a few years ago, and she had Altzheimers. She pretty much forgot who we all were, but we kept visiting.
Each of your pictures have touch me deeply. My Mother died from Alzheimer's and it is a very difficult thing to see happen to ones we love so dearly. Your lo's are perfect and the memories are even more precious. Great job.
What beautiful pages honoring your Mom. My mom had alzheimers also and passed away last year at 89 yrs. old. She was in a nursing home and didn't know me anymore, but her mind went back to when she was a little girl as she would keep calling out for her sister who had died over 20 years ago. It is such a heart wrenching progressive disease which seemed to go in spurts - reach a point, stay at that point for awhile, and then bang - so unable to function anymore. Anyway, these layouts you did are fantastic!!!!
She was very photogenic indeed! Even with multiple of scrapbooking sins, this still looks really good. Great use of her color. I'm liking the little extras... the pearls, the flowers, the stick pin and the cut corners on the photo.
What a beautiful tribute. My Mother was a victim of Alzheimers also. Such a sad thing. It affects the whole family and is such a long Good-by. You did a good job on the 2 pager.
The camera loved my mother. These photos were taken between the 40's and 1960, b&w's. Since purple and lavendar are her favorite colors, I'll be keeping this series of layouts of her life in that family. Coincidentally, the color of the Alzheimer's Ribbon happens to be purple as well! I did this lo some time ago before I knew anything about scrapping or the resources available, so the sins on these early pages are many - glue being the main offense. I'm sure there's half a bottle of Elmer's behind those photos and flowers, but I know better now!
