"24 hours together" by Amanda

DateThursday, March 18, 2010 at 5:01AM

So. Here's my layout. I fell in love with this idea for a layout back in May of 2008 when Elizabeth Kartchner did such a beautiful take on this for the article about grief that I'd written for Creating Keepsakes. The idea just spoke to me, you know? But. When it came down to actually figuring out what I'd do with one more day, I faltered. How could I possibly pick?! So, I sat on the idea and thought and thought. And, finally, I decided to just be myself and make a list. ;) 

Please remember to share your take or thoughts on this challenge in the comments section of the original challenge post. Pretty please? Thanks!
