ok mom this one made me cry. It is sad that I didnt really know aunty louise, too young when she passed away. Where do you get the dowlies (spelt wrong im sure)
wow, what a beautiful tribute page and such a wonderful story of how meaningful it all is. Thank you so much for sharing such a personal project. It's absolutely beuatiful
Kudos to your son for capturing such a perfect photo go to with your idea. And *HUG* for still feeling the pain. Some people are so special, they NEVER leave us.
Absolutely breathtaking - not only the gorgeous photo and the effort taken, but everything on this layout - you did a fantastic job, and remember that it doesn't matter how long a layout takes to be completed it's why you created it in the first place that's important. {hugs}
This page on it's own is very beautiful. But knowing the meaning behind it makes it all the more moving and powerful! It must have been a wonderful journey for you to work on this. I'm sure at times it was a struggle, but the end result is a warm and beautiful as your love for your sister. Thank you so much for sharing this page and your story. {hug}
O.K. I read this AFTER commenting on your pink and purple layout. So now when your mom gets this one, will she put the other into an Album? Your son is a major photographer and combined with your artistic talents, your layouts really stand out. However, I hope everyone takes the time to read the description. It is the true beauty of this Layout. Trudy
Beautiful and heartwarming. I know how hard it was to make this...it took me forever to complete a layout about my mom and I can't even start one for my dad yet. This layout turned out beautiful...what a wonderful title and your sons photo is just perfect.
How wonderful of you to play such a tribute to your sister. I am sure she would adore your work as this is a beautiful way for remembering. Thank you for sharing.....
This is the most amazing lo - wonderful photo that your son took, and such a hard emotional message to portray but you have done it so beautifully. So sorry to hear of your loss.
This is beautiful, and I mean - really beautiful. And what a sad story about your sister... at such a young age too. Your mother will love this, and it's a sweet thing you are doing too. And your son took one fantastic picture too!
OMGoodness!!! This is so beautiful! It is even more beautiful because of the meaning behind it!!!! Love every detail of this LO! GReat pic as well. My heart goes out to you at this time!!! TFS! Hugs!!!!!
Very sweet, touching and beautiful! I love the detail and wonderful bg of the bird. Beautiful tribute to your sister and i bet your Mom just loves this! I like that you made it your Avi!!! Thank you for sharing!
An awesome tribute to your sister and such a gorgeous layout. I know this is emotional but healing at the same time. Your mother will be pleased. And such a lovely idea to keep your sister's memories alive.
First, the photo by Kyle is GREAT! Second, the layout is very pretty and is a nice way to remember something special about your sister. I'm sure your mom will love it.
What a beautiful tribute to your sister, and a special aid for your mom in keeping her memory alive. (I'm an emotional wreck after reading your description. My sister died 18 years ago. I scrapbooked one LO of her recently and I know exactly how you feel. It still hurts.)
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing this - I know how difficult this is. My mom passed in 2005 & I haven't been able to scrap her photos yet. This is so gorgeous.
Oh my goodness! I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear sister. This layout is amazing in so many ways. I really love it - when I read your description, I had tears in my eyes. You created something very special in memory of your beloved sister.
Wow before I read the description, while looking at your awesome lo, I said to myself I bet her son took that picture of the bird. I have not been leaving comments on here for a while due too an infection called cellulitis on my leg from a bruise that never healed. The Dr. put me on complete bedrest I'm only aloud to be up no more than 10 mins at a time. I'm getting better but still have to stay in bed most of the time. I get on here every chance I get and look at all the works of art. But don't leave comments because they are so many. But when I saw your lo, and then read your description I had to write. What a beautiful tribute to your sister. And your son has a wonderfull talent there. Tfs.
This layout is another one for my Mom's Shadow box. Every time I get a layout done of my sister that passed away I change my mom's shadowbox to the new layout, so that she can remember her daughter at different times in her life. First of all I'd like to say this picture, of the Mountain Blue Bird, wasn't just a internet picture or a scrapbook paper, this picture was taken by my son Kyle, in our back yard. I asked him if he happens to see a picture of a Bird on a wire to take a picture, since he has mastered using my new camera quite well.. He skillfully took this picture leaving room for me to scrapbook my thoughts onto the page. The words Bird On a Wire maybe commonly known to some, but it is a song that has special meaning to our family. It was also one of my sister Louise's favorite songs and was played at her grave side, before she was layed to rest. I wanted to write the entire song, on this layout, but it was just to long to fit. So those words "Like a Bird, On a Wire, She's Free" have such meaning. My sistered lived with Marfans Syndrom and had lot of health problem assoicated with it and was the reason for her death at the age of 35. Thank you for taking the time to look and read my words. Next time you hear that song played by Aaron Neville, listen closely to the words. To this day, almost 18 years ago, I still cry when I hear this song. I finally finished this layout which took me 3 weeks to do. I just couldn't do it, These layouts of my sister have been more emotionally difficult than I thought but I finished yesterday, what would of been my sisters birthday. Happy Birthday Louise.
