Journaling:
Family lore says she lived in the same tiny home for more than a century. Birth to death. During that time she went out exactly eight times. Groceries were delivered every Tuesday. Someone came regularly to clean and do laundry. Still someone else maintained the yard. Her time was spent reading. She had thousands of books. Mysteries, biographies, travel logs, instructional manuals, cookbooks, the classics, and the not so classics.

There is no real explanation for the way she lived. On the back of the photo, scrawled in her mother’s hand, are the words “delicate flower.” A clue or simply an observation? Now, the house sits empty except for her books. Her will provides that her sister’s 10th linear descendant shall inherit the premises with the stipulation that he/she continue to maintain her library. Last month, Rayne was born. She is the 10th.

Thanks for looking :)

This is such a beautiful page - I love the blended image in the background and together with the vertical blocks of journaling perfectly coordinate with the shapes in your design. Your story is intriguing too!
 
Love your stories! I can't imagine if she didn't get out much how she stayed so healthy for a long life. Defies everything they tell us, but so much we don't know. ;) It's amazing that no matter where I look I always come back to study her eyes.
Lots of skeletons in this family closet
 
Amazing ... I almost missed the faded portrait! Interesting story, a recluse. Beautiful page and artistry.
 
This is wonderful! I love the blending on the photo and how you brought it out with the overlay! Great idea! I also really liked the placement of the texts, the color, the elements.... oh I could go on! It's a marvelous page!

In fact, I like this so much I'm giving it a STANDING O!
