Oh Char, this is amazingly beautiful, romantic and heartfelt. I've never quite seen journaling used as creatively as you've used it here. Those words, climbing up the steps - WOW!! They tell the story of you and Jim so beautifully. Love your dancing couple again on this week's page. I'm also loving the musical notes that you used on your background. The word strips blend right in with them, yet they also stand out on their own. What a wonderful romance you've had. Thanks for sharing your love with us. I'm giving you a Standing O for this fabulous page!

This! Congratulations on the Standing O. Well deserved. I love the stepping stones with the journey written on them. I love love love the symbolism of the open doors and how youre dancing through them together. The music ....... oh it all comes together and makes the heart sing and smile. What a risk you took. And what a love story you have to show for taking the leap. Love the wedding date and rings on the door. Char this is a jaw dropping gorgeous layout! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful layout with us.

@AK_Tracy & @Cherylndesigns thank you both for your comments. Cheryl thanks for the Standing O; it is such an honor for us to have our work recognized by our fellow scrappers. Both of you are special to me; we are on a journey to discover ourselves and, as Cherl said, it is a "deeper dive" into exploring our inner selves; I am thankful to God for your friendship.

Oh Char, you just gave my goosebumps. First of all the Standing O is so well deserved and it was my honor to give it to you. You have been such a big part of our challenges, and we have so much in common with "our older men". You have supported me in my Grief Journaling and Im so humbled by that. I know that I couldn't have made it for that first year as well as I did without all of the love and support from you all who were an integral part of these Art Journaling challenges.
