I know...when you look at this layout you go...huh, why would this be one of my favorite's? Well, this is my dad...dad died 3 days after my birthday on 8/5/04...which happened to be 5 years to the day after my 2nd husband committed suicide.
I miss my dad so much, he protected me, he loved me...he made me feel like I belonged. Dad would stop and pick up pennies anytime he seen them; so after he died, it is fitting us kids would find pennies - always shiny pennies...these are the pennies I found over the years since he has died...kept in a clear envelope.
It is one of my favorite's because of the theme of the layout, why it was done in the first place. Some of my favorite layouts are done without any specific theme, like this one.
My dad was not perfect, by any means...but you know, he was my dad. He was a part of the Lions Organization...he had 5 beautiful children, and from there...he has had 14 grandchildren (with a few step-grandchildren) and to date - more than 20 great-grandkids from all those grandkids. We might not get along all the time, but we are starting to. Dad is missed every day, but I know he is with all of us when he can be!
For me, the colors went well together, and I didn't need a lot of embellishments to go with the layout...just the pictures and the journaling, along with the pennies. Today, I want you to find a special picture of ONE person...and I want you to document why that person means so much to you. That is your challenge for the day!
