Thank you again, ladies for the warm welcome but also for the lovely thoughts about my momsie. One thing I did after she passed, was scrap her life. Her entire life. It was SO very therapeutic! I ended up printing 4 books, one for each sibling and of course for myself. I was able to also design her headstone... each part of it includes a part of each of us (her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren). Looking at it makes me happy! Lastly, I've tried to include a part of her in each room in my home and car... from my rearview mirror hangs a string of beads with her photo; her teacup collection is in the room with me now; her dishes are in my kitchen; I made pillows from her shirt and one from her long time friend (he gave up living just 5 weeks after she did - "my best friend is gone" he told us - so very sad)... anyway, I appreciate your thoughtful words. She is missed dearly, but I love that I have a creative outlet with which to remember her.

Welcome to the Pad Kairyn! Make your yourself comfy and just holler if you need a hand with anything!
I remember you from ScrapMatters Kairyn! I was on the team there just before it closed too, and CT'd for a couple of the designers. Then, for a few years, I barely scrapped, instead focusing on learning photography. But I missed scrapping and tried a few places until I found TLP. It's the best! I love the way you have a memory of your mom in every room. Welcome to TLP!
