I had a lot of fun doing this layout. Gold Dust is one of my favorite Tori Amos songs. I decided to actually include the Scarlett's Walk CD/ into my layout. I have all my music on my computer and iPod so I don't actually listen to the CD anymore but still want to keep it. I also decided to include a photo of Tori from the Scarlett's Walk photos as well as a photo of my daughter to remind me that I need to holde dear those things in life that are so precious.

I printed the entire lyris on a transparency as well as my journaling on the inside of the CD flap. The lyrics are:

Sights and Sounds
pull me back down
another year

I WAS HERE
I WAS HERE
Whipping past
the reflecting pool
me and you
skipping school
And we make it up
as we go along
We make it up as we go along
You said -
You raced from Langley -
pulling me underneath
a Cherry Blossom
canopy
- Do I Have -
Of course I have,
Beneath my raincoat,
I have your photograph.
And the sun on your
Face
I'm freezing that frame
And somewhere Alfie cries
and says, "Enjoy his every smile
You can see in the dark
Through the eyes of Laura Mars"
How did it go so fast
you'll say
as we are looking
back
and then we'll
understand
we held gold dust
in our
hands
Sights and Sounds
pull me back down
another year
I WAS HERE
I WAS HERE
Gaslights
Glow in the street
(flickering past)
Twilight held us
in her palm
as we walked along
And we make it up
as we go along
We make it up as we go along
Letting names
Hang in the
Air
What color hair
(auburn crimson)
Autumn knowingly
Stared
and the day that
She came
I'm freezing that
Frame
I'm freezing that frame
And somewhere Alfie smiles
and says, "Enjoy her every cry
You can see in the dark
Through the eyes of Laura Mars"
How did it go so fast
You'll say as we are looking back
and then we'll understand
we held gold dust
in our
hands
in our
hands

and the journaling reads:

"why Gold Dust...it reminds me of being a little girl & being oblivious to the things that I look back upon now that I find most precious now...my grandma's buttons, our crayon purse, my PaPa's Levi's...it's all as precious as Gold Dust. They made me who I am today, frozen frames in my mind & always making room for new precious ones."
