| About this scrapbook page: |
|
This page is a tribute to my father who was killed in a car crash at the age of 26. As I was only 8 months old, I never knew him; but people tell me I look just like him. In my late teens, I looked up his side of the family, as we had lost touch after his passing. In January of this year I got this old pair of my fathers boots from his sister, my beautiful wonderful Aunt Mary. She has taken the time from her own large family to include all 4 of his children in her life. I am forever grateful!

It is an excellent page and a poignant memory. I love the way you have captured the era of your Dad, and the memorial writing is very moving. I think your Dad would be very proud of you and your creative achievements.

So sensitive... I like the way you use simple colors giving a sense of "purity" to your pages Sorry if purity is not the exact name I mean you don't need to use a melting pot of colors for giving to your pages a true sense thanks for so much beautiful work !

Oh my gracious. What a powerful, powerful page. It's very similar to my own mother's story. Her father was killed in a car crash at about the same age, and she was raised by her Aunt Mary. What a wonderful thing that you were given a pair of your father's old boots. This page really touches my heart.
