@JeanneMN and @AK_Tracy ladies, know that you are not alone...

nobody needs to know... not even you because what if the logical you starts pestering you with ideas that you don't need it??? then the creative you might kiss back 'my precioussssssss' and... well... who needs this internal turmoil??

Love your page Eva... I can totally relate - I have a ton of cross stitching supplies and kits and charts I'll never use but can't part with. Some of the older stuff has been with us for almost 20 years... traveled the world, stayed in the box at every destination - is still there - and will...

Ha ha... totally relate... I have a ton of cross-stitching supplies and charts I KNOW I will never use, but just can't seem to part with...

I have exactly 4,177 templates in the folder creatively named 'Templates', and a couple hundred more scattered across random designer folders that I haven't gotten round to moving to the proper 'Templates' folder yet because… well, I have priorities. My collection is vast. I have templates for...

I really like this page - all the layers and torn edges and the vintage vibe!

I LOVED your journaling and the brown shirt with no thread of brown in it. You look gorgeous in this photo!

What an absolute treasure this photo it! Love all the layers and the stitched frame. I also like how you combined product from different designers from past collections. They all go together so beautifully!

wow... this is so colorful and bright and... I was going to say happy but then did a doubletake at the wordstrips, so I am going to say inspiring... I love all the layers and the flow from left to right, from busy to white space and the bold title. Awesome page!

Just saw this on the blog! What a creative take on the challenge! Absolutely LOVE your page. Congrats on the Standing O - totally well deserved.

Thank you. You made my day!

Love all the layers here and the placement of everything. Stunning page design - congrats on GSO - TOTALLY well deserved!

Beautiful products, Anja! I love those templates!

oh my gosh.. what a tragic turn of events... and so sudden and so quick... I'm so sorry this has happened. It feels unfair - and my heart goes out to all of you and most of all to your brother - what an impossible decision to make... so sorry for your loss...
