Jounal on back

Cheers

My scrappy space is half this size and way more messy! I'm reassured to see I'm not the only one!

Love the gears and bg pp!

September 23, 2017

Love your layout! All the bits and pieces go perfectly together! :-)

September 23, 2017

what a lovely lo and a heartwarming story. A story worth preserving for future generations (the real reason for scrapping). TFS. Hoping that the making of brittle every year brings a smile to your face as your remember your Mom.

love your layout and the journaling is fabulous. I like when layouts have a written story on/in them.

September 20, 2017

I just saw the picture of your room clean.. now I see the before. We work alike.

September 20, 2017

Love your journaling, the colors, texture and all the layering!

September 20, 2017

What a wonderful story. What a wonderful memory and photos to go with it. Love the "crinkly" banner.

September 20, 2017

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us. I am happy for you that you have pictures, because I regret never taking pictures of my mom baking. Althought that was her, baking all the time. The layout is precious and beautiful!

Sweet journaling, I so enjoyed reading it. I know you cherish these memories and I think it is wonderful that you make a toast to your mom as you make the brittle, and as you continue to do so, her legacy carries on. All your pattern papers work so well with the reds, precious page

How sweet!! I loved the story too. Perfect title for this LO.

September 19, 2017

I love this story and the way you scrapped this. I know that your family will come to love these pages and the memories you are able to share. When we don't write them down in another generation they disappear. I know there were many stories that I wish I had written down and are now lost forever. Great job Sharon.

Thank you for sharing the peanut brittle story and memories of your mom. The red textured paper is neat with the strips of paper coming down. Love the rose and gears and all the matting!

September 19, 2017

Now this is the way I like to work, my "mess" is really organized as I know where everything is, in a way. I like flipping thru my piles looking for something as I know it is somewhere, just which pile......found it!

September 19, 2017

Beautiful family moments, thanks for sharing this with all of us. I do admit I love peanut brittle.

September 19, 2017

I love your journaling, and the stone? with the ladybug on it. You are incredible for taking time for the special notes on back. I guess I am the opposite, I journal on the front

September 19, 2017

What a wonderful story and memory of your Mom! Such a special page :o)Ro

September 18, 2017

What a sweet story and sounds yummy! My family also has a peanut brittle recipe we covet and it does indeed make the house smell like heaven! Great page, Sharon!

September 18, 2017

Wow, I love the story behind your layout! Thanks so much for sharing! Nicely crafted layout!

September 18, 2017

What a beautiful story! Love it! The layout came together so wonderfully - no one would ever guess it was all from the scraps bin!

September 18, 2017

Oh what a precious memory and lovely tribute to your mother. As always, your layout is fabulous!

September 17, 2017

I love the Realness of this photo! Thank you! Great room.

September 17, 2017

It looks so nice and organized!

September 17, 2017

I agree with Pat. That's what mine looks like if it is clean. You have an awesome space to work in. Love the shoes off as well. Being an Aussie girl that is the first thing that happens everyday when I finish work - sometimes even in the car on the way home!

September 16, 2017

That is the best memory ever! Oh I love the story and I would have surely loved to be an apprentice! Your mum was obviously a very generous and warm hearted woman. I love that you are keeping the tradition going. Hopefully the apprentice is now the master chef and can pass it on for future generations. This page is an absolutely magnificent tribute to a very special memory and person. The colours are beautiful and I love the cogs and clocks representing the passage of time and the tribute to heritage. Your banner tag is amazing and I love the paper it made from. This is such an amazing page. Love everything about.

September 16, 2017

Oh my, what a pretty LO; love the title but the very, very best was the sharing of your memories of your mom making peanut brittle. My MIL made peanut brittle every year at Christmas time for year and years and years. People she knew and people at her church would put in orders months before the holidays. I never learned to make it but I think my DH's niece did. I'm so happy you have these precious memories and pictures.

I got all excited reading the journaling and then went and looked at your scrap mess and forgot what I was doing so I had to come back here and tell you how wonderful this project is -- considering that you did it for the LEFTOVERS challenge. All scraps. That's fantastic. Once you get the hang of that challenge, it's really a lot of fun, and it is fun to dig through all those scrap papers and find a bunch of things to put together and make work. This turned out so pretty! And a lot of real estate agents will tell you to put an 'apple pie' simmer on your stove so that your house smells like home cooking. Guess your brittle is proof, huh? Thanks for playing in the Leftovers Challenge. I'm going to have to get to work on mine for that one pretty soon. Month's more than half-gone and I've not even started it yet.

September 16, 2017

What a wonderful story! It was perfect timing for the buyers to walk into the house.

September 16, 2017

I see your shoes on the floor, which means, I assume, that you're barefoot again. If I lived in Florida, I'd be barefoot all the time too! What a great room! And that's what MY desk looks like when it's CLEAN. LOL

September 16, 2017

Oh my what a lovely tribute to your mom and her famous brittle. Makes me want the recipe. I adore the way this story describes how giving and loving your mom was and how her tradition continues without her. Love the colors on the layout and the font on the title.

September 16, 2017

beautiful background colors! homemade peanut brittle--haven't had any some I was a kid!

September 16, 2017

Very pretty . Love the papers and textures. I like the use of cogs then leaves over it

September 16, 2017

And isn't it amazing we can find exactly what we need in the midst of our creative frenzies!!

September 16, 2017

Great symbolism with the "old" flower-style pattern and newer modern arrow papers. Hope the GDs learn the technique so they can continue the tradition!
