This is for the round robin challenge over at Swirlydoos. I followed Jan, her layout is gorgeous with definate shabby chic flair. Although I didn't go for the shabby chic, it was fun to do her design!! I LOVE circles!!

This layout is about a very scary and surreal event that happened to us last summer while we were camping up in mountains in CO.

Ashli, my grand daughter, was sitting on the edge of the dock (the small pic) with me, Krissy and Mason. In the blink of an eye, she was gone! I looked down and there she was, in the water, sinking! All I could see in the dark water was her terrified little face. I reached down into the water immediately, and suddenly everything was in slow motion. I saw my hand penetrate the water, saw the ripples, saw the water moving out of the way as my hand reached further and further down searching for her hand. Finally, I saw each of my fingers slowly wrap around her little hand one by one, then slowly pull her to the surface. Krissy was on the other side of her and was doing the same thing while she was holding Mason back. We both had ahold of her hands and pulled her up. She must have been over 2 feet down, the sleeve of my tee shirt was wet. This all happened in a split second in reality, but to me, time almost stood still, I don't think I have ever been so scared!!!

After she came up out of water, she was shaking with fear, crying, coughing and clinging so hard to her mom! She said she would never go into the water ever again!!! Well, as the larger pic shows, she finally did! We did a lot of talking and comforting, but she still wasn't real sure about it, and didn't go far, and stayed right by mom or dad!!

I was very proud of her that day, she ended up having a lot of fun in spite of being scared to death!!!!

TFL!
