today is a little cooler and a little rain, relief from the heat, but meant to be heating up again. Enjoying the cool while I can. But I digress
A new challenge is up at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge. Criteria ~ Use the word 'Today" on your layout, easy Peasy, so I am hoping you will join us. This is my take on the challenge
This moment ~ Today
It was a day filled with many emotions, (as a mother you envisage a safer career for your daughter) but what I felt most ,was and is indescribable pride. I saw the commitment , determination and strength our daughter possessed to graduate. I would not have lasted a week ( Stubborn like her father).
Thanks for calling by , I appreciate and love to read any comments and I hope you join in the challenge.
Love, Peace and Kindness

This is why I scrap Mary. I want my kids to know these stories. The beautiful weddings and births and so on are all momentous moments but it is these little moments that will be forgotten and it is so wonderful that in years to come she can look back and see and read what you felt. I love this layout. These are the REAL moments. The hard moments. Stunning work.
Oh I think that photo is so beautiful.. showing raw emotion like that for that reason is awesome.. I love the photo and you have scrapped it beautifully... love the embellishments you have used.. and i am still in the heat up here, would love some rain.. our grass has been burnt off... perhaps rain is coming our way soon... take care...
Stupid photo.... has me welling up with tears ...hmmmmf! So I guess that mean's it's a powerful one, which probably reflects your emotions which means it SHOULD be scrapped...so well done you on doing so! Whoever took it [The Wandering One???] done gooood. Glad you're enjoying the hearts. And you would have outlasted Your Girl and Your Man. Don't underestimate yourself, dear Mary. There is a fiercely strong, stubborn streak in your soul. Comes from your Mum, too, I bet..... it's just the others are more Out There, methinks. AND my favest bit besides the photo is the way you've layered those doilies....cooolio in the extreme. Which I hope you get for a few more days before the heat slaughters us once more..... sigh...that might just have me weeping too!!!!!!!!!!
It is definitely a photo your family will treasure so it needed to be scrapped. A beautiful photo and very insightful of your young man to capture it. I love all the layers and colour combo. Thanks for sharing xx
Of all the gifts you could leave your Daughter, this, I think, will be among the most treasured. She will truly know how you felt about her success on that day. It's not a moment of weakness, when we well up with pride and joy, but rather a symbol of great JOY. Well done Mary, on raising a daughter to be proud of and well done on scrapping this most poignant moment. Thank You.
