Oh my goodness, Vicky. You just gave me goosebumps. What an amazing gift from your daughter. Those things are indeed treasures. One of my friends had Ava "sneak" one of Chuck's favorite shirts to her and she had a pillow made out of it. Thank you so much for sharing the story of the ring...

Thanks so much, Vicky! Yes, that's an actual tattoo. It's my granddaughter Ava's arm and the tattoo is in my handwriting. That's always been one of my favorite sayings.

This is just stunning, Chris. You create these Divided Templates better than I can even think about them. Your finished pages are always so cohesive. Just gorgeous!
