* PRESERVE HANDWRITING *

DateTuesday, December 1, 2009 at 1:58AM

Wow. Already December first. How the heck did that happen? :) 

This challenge is to preserve your loved one's handwriting. I've truly been inspired as I've seen these challenge layouts come in. It reminds me of two things...one, how many other little pieces I'd like to have of my dad's (going to have to call my mom about that)...and, two, how important it is to use my own handwriting more often.  

We'll start with our fabulous guest, Kaitlin:

Next up is Lisa:

 
Stacey:

Tania:

 
Me:

Jen:


Okay, so, for the prize this time around, Stacey has offered up some fabulous Fiskars punches:

For your chance to win this awesome bundle, please share your take on this challenge anywhere online. Then link us up in the comments section of this post and a random winner will be selected from those. Given the busy-ness of the holidays, I think we'll give you a few extra days and make this one due by midnight on December 13 (Sunday). Yay!

I am still working on another layout, but thought I would share this one in case I don't get the other one done in time. http://abriellenefffoundation.blogspot.com/2009/04/in-loving-memory-scrapbook-part-2.html It's the third layout in this post and it is actually about Abrielle's stone, but we included one of Abby's handwritten A's on the headstone itself. It's a permant tribute to her handwriting and that beautiful A she was so proud she could write.

Here is my take. It's my first chance to take part in a challenge! My dad only passed away 11/5 of this year, so it's still pretty fresh, but it was really nice to complete this layout. It's a great thought from him and a really nice old photo of him and my son. My layout's on my blog: Our Life
