Prompted by Anna's wonderful 'Home' collection, I decided it was time to document one of my proudest accomplishments...my lake house and a decade of precious memories. In 1993, I purchased lakefront property and sketched plans for a house. I hired an architect to draw the final building plans. My goal was to give the impression that the house had been there for many yearsI searched architectural salvage and antique stores. My hunt yielded vintage newel posts and stair spindles, period light fixtures, and reclaimed hardwood floors. I thoroughly enjoyed every detail, every design choice.

For more than 10 years, the house was filled with love, laughter, and fun. I sold the house for a variety of reasons, but still miss it dearly. My youngest son has declared when he makes big money, he's going to buy it backa nice thought.

Journaling
Be at rest once more, O my soul, for
the Lord has been good to you.
For you, O Lord, have delivered me
from death, my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.
Psalm 116: 7-9

Note: Product list is for 2-page layout. I've made several books with the journaling on the left side of each layout and plan to do the same with this album.
