Tracy, congrats on the O newspaper appearance - it is well deserved! I love everything, especially the little "dream" girl.

Congrats on the Standing O! Tracy, your LO is so creative and original! I can't add much to what everyone has said except I love the conversation back & forth! I remember when I first started see your layouts last year and you have improved so much and have allowed yourself to be vulnerable...

Thanks, Susie, for the lead for week 1!

Tracy, first of all, your LO is absolutely serenely stunning! I am glad you are getting the negative out of your head and body and onto paper; and the right side looks at the positive that will replace the negative. We are all on this journey together, Thank God!

Kay, what a gorgeous LO; love how everything goes so well together and I love the colors! My hubby and I have been together 38 years; he is 94 and I am 75, I try not to let myself wander into that territory. I love him dearly and our love has grown stronger each year.

Susie, what a fab layout - I love everything about it! Love the peach flowers placed strategically around the border, and also the main title about holding on and letting go. I like the image of a Balance Beam (of life) - too far either way can get us unbalanced; and for me that usually means...

I love this LO by @pachimac for its wonderful title, sketch, and the flowers! https://oscraps.com/community/media/may-25-aj-challenge-week-1-fortitude.409594/

@pachimac @faerywings @AK_Tracy Thanks ladies for your wonderful comments! I have to tell you I had a tough time trying to get it done; especially the dark side! I'm happy with the way it turned out. It came about because of Week#2 where I was focusing on the future of possible neck surgery; and...

Beverly, after looking at the photos and then I saw your photo at the bottom of the page (I think); it reminded me of my older sister's HS pic and the pose, the hairstyle are exactly the same! She graduated in 1963. Wonderful LO!

Thank you, Nancy! I'm happy to go shopping!

Love your LO, Nancy, and the are photos are beautiful!

What a cute LO; love the Teddybear sitting in the street - hope he found his way home!
