Gone But Not Forgotten

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a scrapbook layout I made today.  I'm still dealing with this migraine and fibromyalgia flare but I needed a distraction today.  With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, here in the States, I've been missing my mother, my mom, and my mother-in-law.  My mother especially.  She passed away from breast cancer just one week after Mother's Day so it's always hard on me.  I've been wanting to make a page for her and my grandfather, so I used the last one taken, on the beach in Carmel-By-The-Sea, the summer before we found out her breast cancer was back.  She was only 41 when she passed away.

 

I pulled today's free mermaid image from  Conjurer of Dreams blog post, and paired it with the following Conjurer of Dreams sets: Coral clip art, Beach Grass clip art, Ocean Creatures clip art, Photo Corners, Blue Silk, Black Silk and the seagulls from a special set Kim made me.  The rosettes, and designer paper, is from a sample set by Raspberry Road Designs.  I'm happy with how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and please make sure you get the "girls" checked every year (men too) because men can develop breast cancer.  It's just a taboo topic for some dumb reason.
