Kind of a sad story with a happy ending. I'm glad you finally got it and that now a new generation can enjoy playing with it! fun Christmas feel to your layout.

I always love photo less pages ... love your journaling ... great font you used ...
Thanks for playing along with my challenge.

How fabulous that your mom was able to find the tree house with all the pieces and finally unite the two of you. Love that you were able to tell this story without a photo. The magic of words.

great photoless page and journaling of xmas memory

OMG Lou... What a wonderful story... I LOVE your Mom...! That is something I would have done... So precious... My youngest son love Scooby Do... with his current popularity I see lots of Scooby related things and have to stop my self from buying for him, now a grown man probably older than you...

Lovely design of the Christmas page! I like its composition and the location of the text in the cent.

How neat that your mom found another one years later and now your sons are enjoying it! I'm sure that makes your heart just as happy!
