Thanks so much, Dalis! She's moving to Japan next month to teach ESL while saving for medical school, so I won't see her for at least a year. This will be my first Christmas without her, so I'm a bit emotional. This FF means a lot!
well, think about it this way: you could organize a trip to go see her, doing it a round trip and stopping in London to stay with us at least a couple of days? I will have cream tea ready for you!!!!!!!!!

Now, I have tons of pages I need to share with you, as I haven't been around this week but I will do that later, right now, I needed to make a detour in my gallery round to come share this with you.
@Serena arrived at the Pad not too long ago, but she is already in our hearts big time.
She apologizes in this page for not being the usual happy one and stating this wont be printed. I disagree with that, as I think we are who we are all good and bad, and in my humble opinion, leaving proof of how much hurt we encountered in life makes a great legacy as much as the beautiful, happy moments recorded.
Not only is this page a stunner visually, but the feeling that gives me after knowing (even without reading the journaling) that comes from a difficult moment...the power of scrapbooking of turning not so beautiful, sometimes right down ugly times or emotions that are far from beautiful into the most gorgeous pieces of art.....I HAD to share!!!!!
will be back with moire later on,
