"Dad" by Sherry

DateWednesday, March 3, 2010 at 5:00AM

Here's Sherry:

When the alphabet challenge was presented, my first thought was to use the entire alphabet on the layout.   Ideas were swirling and the initial idea I had envision was nothing like the end result.  I did use the entire alphabet, but as the background.  Then, I typed the words that remind me of or describe my dad and corresponded with each letter of the alphabet.  I will eventually tell the story behind each descriptive word.

There are so many words that describe my dad, but when I was tested with each letter, I was almost dumb-founded.  I could only describe my dad as dad.   Tough.  But, I am glad I have these thoughts on paper to jumpstart other layouts about him.  


Journaling:
Army. Bowling. Caring. Dad. Extra special. Fukuda. Gamble. Handyman. IOU. Japanese. Kung Fu Cowboy. Little league baseball. Married. neighbor. Oriental food. Parental. Quiet. Red socks. Sibling. Teacher. Unconditional. Volkswagen. White owl cigars. Xrays. Yardword. Z. 

Please remember to link us up in the comments of the original post if you complete this challenge. We'd love to see your interpretation and always appreciate you letting us get to know your loved ones better!

This is great, Sherry ... I love the simplicity of the list - and that it's a spring board for more stories to document!

I love how you're going to use this as a start to other pages, Sherry! The background is so creative!

This is wonderful, Sherry! I love how you came up with a word of each letter of the alphabet for him! Nice job!
