I made it to the top ten in the *November Keyword Challenge* with this one!

These pictures were so hard to scrap. I've had them on my desk for over a year now and just now scrapped them. My grandparents house has always felt like home to me so when Katrina destroyed it I was heartbroken. They are rebuilding though!

The left side of this LO meets the Nov. Monthly Themed Challenge Recipe. There is/are 1 CS (matted pics), 2 PP's (divided down page), 1 quote (hidden under top left pic), 6 eyelets (on the ribbon holding up the tag and through the flowers), 3 flowers, 2 pieces of ribbon (holding up the tag) and 1 tag.

Quote reads: Give thanks for sorrow that teaches you pity and for pain that teaches you courage. Robert Nathan

Other journalling reads:

I am so grateful and thankful that Maw Maw and Paw Paw evacuated for Hurricane Katrina. They usually don't ever evacuate. The damage to their house was very bad. There were 18 feet of water in the house which means it was waist deep on the second floor.

The second page meets the criteria for the November Keyword Challenge.

The stickers in the top right corner read "Thankful" and there is visable journalling that reads:

1. After the water went down my grandparents were able
To take pictures of the damage. Trees were uprooted and
Other people’s homes were in their yard. (white house)
2. When they went in the house they saw that the water had
Lifted the washing machine up and put it on top of the dryer.
Look at all of the dirt and muck on top of the dryer.
3. My grandmothers craft room was destroyed. All of the debris
You see piled up to the side is years of crafting work ruined.
4. The cinderblocks you see are where the house used to rest on
It’s foundation. The storm picked it up and moved it five feet.
5. The taller structure is the actual house. There used to be a deck
Attached to the second floor (That’s why there’s a door up there).
It was completely destroyed in the storm. The smaller building to
The left is my grandfather’s shed. When the house was lifted off
The foundation it swung over and smashed into the shed.

And last but not least both sides are made out of all Basic Grey which qualifies it for the Basic Grey Challenge.
