Scraplift Challenge #3

Ok, sorry, I'm late with this..."Germany"-Jen, I know you've been waiting patiently across the ocean for this challenge. Ok, it's not really a what, but a "who". There's really not a sketch to follow, although I will post the picture of the one that did inspire me to make the layout (to the left). The "who" is your spouse...I know, I know, "but I barely have time to scrapbook my kids". Well guess what? Your kids need to know about their Dad too...not just about themselves! They are living everything that you are scrapbooking about them...your kids need to know you, and they need to know their parents and how they feel about one another, how you met, etc... what spawned this for me, is that I have one picture of my Father. Only one. It's a tiny wallet picture taken in 1980. My parents divorced when I was 5 and I saw my father last about age 9 or 10. I can't actually remember. My mother kept him from visiting me, and in 1986 he died rather tragically and expectantly. I saw him next at his funeral. I cried for someone I never knew. I cried for something lost, something I never had. I would love to have a scrapbook page about my father, better yet, a scrapbook page about what my mother liked/loved about my father. I'd like to think that there was a time when she liked something about him, that I actually was conceived in love, not out of the hate and resentment that I heard about my entire childhood. So, I made this layout about my hubby. It goes in our chronological family album, which one day will be Hannah's. It's not a long, mushy, drawn out love letter to him, but a statement to her; solidifying what she sees every day; that is, that I love him and that because of who he is, we are the family that we are,( even when he makes me crazy)). So look at my page above,and this week, make a page for your children about your husband, then post it on your blog. Simple. It should be one of the easiest layouts you'll ever do, because all you need to complete it, is in your heart. Ready, set, GO!
