January 31: Scrap from your Heart

My first thought when reading this quote was about my dad, who passed away in Oct. 2019 from Pancreatic cancer. The quote is very true, I cherish my memories of him a lot more now than when they were happening, knowing I cannot go back and see him again. Miss him terribly!

 

Thank you for a wonderful MOC9! I am so happy I was able to finish.

 

Thank you for the challenge!

 

This was the first time seeing my (first and only) nephew.....Thinking back now he was so tiny and cute. It has since become a fond memory!

 

I can't believe the month is over! Thank you all for a great MOC9

 

Thank you for the beautiful end to MOC. The quote helped me tackle something I have been unable to.
My journaling reads -
'I didn’t know when I took these photos that it would be the last time I would ever see these beloved babies. Zippy (left) belonged to my bestie JT and Oscar (right) belonged to my parents. Both of them left us in 2020 and even though neither of them belonged to me, they gave me so much unconditional and unexpected love and trust.'

 

Thank you for the challenge! <3

 

Hugs to you Julie!! Thank you for this one.

 

My Mum passed away a couple of years ago, and this year we lost John's Dad, so this is the last time I had both sets of parents with me, if I knew it then I would have hugged them harder. 20 years ago. All five (and John, who's taken the pic) of us together in the same place.

 

Thank you for another amazing MOC. I chose to go photoless for this final challenge. This lady from Rebecca's Painted Dreams appears to be remembering a moment.

 

This was a great end to a fun month of challenges. Thanks! I did expect these pictures to be so emotional for me. I've never enjoyed helping with these parties, but it's different when you know it's done!
