Me with five of my DGC - Katie, Adam, Jacob, Allen, and Helen Grace. The photo of me with Adam and Katie was made in October 2008 and the one of me with Jacob, Allen and Helen Grace was made in January 2009. I used CC papers - Everlasting. The tag is a Tim Holtz tag that I printed a quote on, the circle pic with the children is one of the cardstock stickers with the Everlasting paper. I used brown ribbon and the flowers were cut from piece of Pink Paislee paper. The title is a rubon. I inked the edges of the torn edges and around the journaling. Added a brown satin ribbon and the metal embellie says "cherish" and is tied around the photo mat with orange floss. I added some white doodling around the edges of the orange mat and on the title letters, and some dark brown faux stitching on the edges of the orange and white print paper. The quote on the ticket stub says "Grandparents and grandchildren are God's gift to each other." Journaling reads:

Time goes by so quickly. It seems like yesterday that I was a young mother with three small children, and now I’m a grandmother who has been blessed many times over with beautiful grandchildren. I’ve learned that a mother of young children doesn’t always appreciate the little things – and then it seems that suddenly, the children are grown. Grandchildren give grandmothers a chance to remember simple pleasures that we have forgotten. I’d forgotten - the wonderful gift a wilted flower is when presented with sweet grimy little hands, kool-aid smiles, wrinkled little hands and feet (from playing in the pool for hours), the joy on your faces when you play with bubbles and chase the bubbles across the yard, the giggles and laughter when you roll down the hill and encourage me to roll with you, and most of all, the sweet hugs and kisses that you so freely give to me. Thank you for sharing with me so much of what I had forgotten.

This is for a couple of challenges. Thanks so much for stopping by! :D
