This is very beautiful, even in your struggle. Transitioning to an orphan is a different and difficult head space, no matter your age. Hugs to you.

Thanks for the challenge. Here is one from me, using Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

This is utterly stunning! Both of your layouts for the challenge are so inspiring. I hope I have some time this coming week to dig into the theme - which is a stretch. But truly, I love, love this. The mixed media paper with the orange tones and that coppery title are scrumptuous. And that...

This is really pretty. I like the way you added elements to Carol's text art. Your granddaughter is growing up so much! Great shots of her playing on the jungle gym. Love the frames for this particular template.

You made my day with the journaling and the lyrics. Love your story and you brought it to so much life. Thanks for ending my day with a laugh.

Thank you for the template. I used your March Feeling and Joy of Growing kits.

Poisonous pokeweed line our alley and put on a brilliant display every fall.

The beautiful, but toxic, pokeweed lines our alley, and is brilliant in the fall.

So cute. Love the graphic and how you blended the flowers and the brush title. Now I am going to have this song in my head the rest of the day.....

Thanks for the challenge. I used "Your Mama" by Jason Aldean. I was looking for something that combined "lucky" and "mama," and found this sweet song.
