* DAYDREAM: ONE MORE DAY *

DateWednesday, March 17, 2010 at 10:53AM

Whew. Okay, laundry's done for now. ;) This challenge was a tough one for us...more emotional than some of the others. This challenge is to daydream what you'd do with one more day. Simultaneously wonderful and heart-wrenching to think about. Sigh.

Joining us as a guest contributor this time is the fabulous Jen Gallacher. Jen lost her dear son, Joey, in the spring of 2007 to cancer. Here is her touching layout:


And here's Lisa:

(You won't want to miss the journaling on this one when it goes up individually.)

And me:


More layouts may go up still, so stay tuned. In the meantime, we'd LOVE to see what you do with this challenge or just hear your thoughts. Please link us to your layout or leave us a comment below, okay? And check back for more about each of these layouts in the days to come. Thanks for being here!

ETA: Here's Sherry's take:


Thanks!

Ladies...
Every time I bring up the posts on this blog I get choked up... I lost my dad in 1990.. Earlier, I realized this is year 20.. He has been gone 20 years... This August.
It's hard for me to put down on paper my thoughts about him..I start, then get emotional. I'm sure it is the same for all of you.

Your layouts are gorgeous, inspirational, and hit the heart.

One of my resolutions was to contribute to this blog and get one layout done about him...

still on the radar!

Oh, Andi. I know just how you feel. These challenges are hard and oh so emotional, but so therapeutic at the same time. I have shed many a tear while working on mine. Join in whenever you're ready, OK? :)

Just want to let you guys know that I am still reading, following and hope to catch up on the challenges I've missed soon. It was 3 years yesterday, so I'm too raw right now to scrap some things just yet. I love all the inspiration and beautiful layouts, so please keep them coming.
