MORE HEARTACHE FOR MY MOTHER-IN-LAW
Not only has my MIL Dot lost her husband (Nov07) now she has lost her beloved sister Meg. Meg has been suffering Parkinson’s disease for quite a few years and in the last 6-12 months had deteriorated to the extent that her husband could no longer care for her. Meg spent the last couple of months in a nursing home. Meg was a wonderful woman and best friend to my mother in law. We will all miss her. On Tuesday we will be going to her funeral to join in the celebration of her life
YOU MAKE MY DAY AWARD

A big thank you to Ali from Miss Ali's for making me a gorgeous new banner.

I love it, you sign up and go there anytime between 12PM and 12AM every Friday and use their equipment, eat pizza and homemade desert and scrapbook while you mingle. I wish we lived close by to each other...I would meet you there. I am so sorry to hear about your Mother-in-law's sister.

Hello Alison, it was nice to hear from you as always. Your scrapbook pages look great.
So sorry to hear about Meg. My grandmother fought Parkinson's for ten years and for the first few years it wasn't diagnosed and it was thought it was just her state of mind. She had a wonderful alert mind so it was so sad to see the way she was treated.My thoughts are with anyone who has to watch a love one go through such a terrible thing.
Have a lovely day in your beautiful part of the country,
Angela.
I'm so sorry to hear of the heartache your mil is facing.
On a lighter note - the layouts look great.

Those grandbabes are SO CUTE - I am so behind in my scrapbooking it's sad - but I have taken 900 photos since Amélie was born - so much for the theory of not taking as many of the second child as of the first...
