~Was asked by Julie to be on What is your Fave Thing design team. (I am so honored she did. Love all the super creative, super inspiring and super sweet ladies on the team. The world wide web makes the world seem even smaller!)

There are so many other things that have happened during the last 10 years....But these are all milestones that led me down different paths in my life. Led to be who and where I am today.

Here is the Layout I chose as my favorite layout!!!! More for the sentimental value....My mom and I have never really gotten along and when I found this picture what she wrote on the back just makes so much sense to me.....Love means...never taking your eyes off one another!

I had a completely different vision for this page but when it all came together with a mixture of different textures, vintage pieces and paper lines, I just loved how it turned out!!!


Go check out all the fabulous pages the Design Team picked for their fave layout of 2009.

I will leave you with one last word for 2009......

PEACE!!!
