12 Days Day 3 Word Art

Journaling: "Remembering Joan L. this holiday season! Not a year goes by when I put the ornaments on the tree or hear the song “NOEL” that I don’t think of her. We weren’t able to have an L shaped desk at work (’80’s) & sang “No-L”. We gave each other NOEL cards & ornaments every year after, to remember. I am smiling now!"

A dear woman I worked with ... she is no longer with us, but we would giggle and laugh every year with the No-L memory. We sat next to each other and they were moving our office.. we wanted a table between us so that it would form an "L" to give us more room. That was way before cubicles and work spaces came into play.. this was around 1983! Fond memories of Joan always!

(I duplicated and flipped NOEL and used the Skew transform and lessened opacity to make a shadow.. then I journaled inside the "shadowed & skewed" O. TFL and also for the fun challenge!)

What a beautiful layout and piece of word art, accompanied by an equally beautifully story. Those are the memories that mean the most, the simplest of things, that triggers memories & giggles over and over again. I'm sorry for your physical loss, but I love your beautiful story that proves we never truly lose someone when we have those memories in our hearts.
 
@marijke @Angela Toucan @Mystery Scraps Thank you all so much for your sweet comments. They mean a lot to me!

@JeanneMN Thank you so much for your note. Yes Joan was a special lady... she was about my Mom's age at the time, and so it was like having a friend & Mom at work. After I married and moved away, when I would go back to NY (Long Island) to visit, there would often be a work dinner and she would be there, so we would catch up more than once a year :)

You are so right re the trigger of memories... I find that happens with every ornament and every decoration we put up at the holidays. I hope you have wonderful memories like that too! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
