And the winner is...

Amy, with this comment (and touching story!):

Here's my lo for the challenge...I took a different spin on it sorda...the photo of my son was taken outside of my cousin's viewing...he passed away very suddenly from a bloodclot that went to his heart after a knee surgery this past August. He left behind an amazing wife and 4 beautiful girls...that night was the worst I've had in quite a while...I was in such shock and I just couldn't fathom why or how this could have happened to such an amazing family....one of those moments that seems to be in slow motion or black and white even...but it lasted all night...until I ventured outside to where my husband was playing with my son and for a moment everything seemed normal again and I was back to seeing my life in color and appreciating what a great life I have! My son is far to young to understand or give his perspective on death...but it was his perspective on life that got me thru that night! Just thought I'd give you a little back story about the lo since the journaling is inside the envelope...thanks you guys for having such a great site that helps remind me to record the painful memories too...after all, they're part of who we are too! http://www.debbiehodge.com/gisforum/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&section=viewimage&img=11998

Note, though, that that link apparently doesn't actually work for her layout. If you'd like to see, and you should because it's awesome, click here instead. :)

Amy, email me to work out the prize details, okay?

Everyone else, thanks so much for participating!! Stay tuned for the next challenge that will go up on October 15. Trust us, it's a doozy.
