Made From Scratch!

You know those quiet nights, not the normal kind but the ones that just seem more quiet than usual?? I don't like them, it's on those nights that I miss my Dad the most.
Last week I had one of those nights, I cried, I smiled, I remembered him, the way he was. Well as the time passed and I lied in bed with my thoughts it came to me that it's time, time to commit these memories to paper.


Dad was always extremely supportive of my art no matter what form it took. Because of this I want to make his album really special, so I hand crafted it myself......

I'm still in the planning phase, gathering photos, making notes as memories flood in....I hope to start actually adding more to it this week! I know he'd love it already, and be so happy & proud that I've found my way back to art!
I'll update once I have more completed...I think this will be an ongoing process that will take a lot of time to complete fully!
I'll have a peek of the next Say It In Scrap challenge up in a couple of days.....you're going to love it!!
Ciao!
