January 31 - The End

The end of gluten eating after my celiac diagnosis, ha!

 

Wonderful final challenge!

 

What a very appropriate name for this last day...it has been exciting and challenging at the same time Thanks to everyone for all the hard work you all put out for the challenges and wow the beautiful pages that everyone has done.
See you all next year!

 

This is so funny... I did my LAST TIME page for a day earlier in MOC, lol. I will have to think hard on this one.

 

Can't believe it's the end of MOC8! I was pushed out of my comfort zone multiple times!

Here's my take on today's challenge. "The last time" is on the banner in the upper right hand corner.

 

Thanks for a great MOC 8. I’ll be finishing as I go along. My daughter has had that year of lasts as she is graduating. Seeing her in her grad cap hit the feels

 

Thankyou Laura @lmccandless for this last challenge. In 9 days it will be the anniversary of my mother's death so I did feel a little sad as I created this page.

 

Always just a little sad to post the last layout for MOC. It's such a wonderful time and I hate seeing it come to an end. BUT, as always, I've loved every single challenge and it's such a great way to spend on of the most dreary months of the year!

 

If feels a little sad to post this last layout for MOC8; wonderful challenges, and so appreciate all the effort that goes into putting this together -- thank you.

Here is my "the end" story . . . journaling is copied in gallery credits since it may be a little hard to read with the paint.

 

Here is mine. Thanks for the fun month of challenges. I was glad for this particular one as it is giving me a chance to share how this MOC has helped to change how I feel about a few things.

 

My first MOC. LOVED it! I can't wait for the MOC 9!

The words THE END and LAST TIME were used in the journaling.
it says:
Up to a certain point in our lives, we had three kids living at home with us. The teens graduated and
Decided to move out on and start their own lives, Elijah was still in elementary school. It was THE END
of an era for our family. It felt strange for them to pack up their things and take them to other places
We packed and took things to our new place. The day we all slept in the old house before we all moved
felt like it would be the LAST TIME we would all be together in one house. It was sad but kind
of exciting to only have one small child and become a family of three instead of a family of five!
