What a gorgeous LO! WOW! Thanks for joining our 'Big Bow' Challenge at YNS Challenges! Hugs, Sem x
Just awesome. And your daughter too. I know how hard it was, my eldest daughter was just the same. But now she tells me how nice and happy her childhood was. Can it be any better?
Fern.. this is another stunning LO!! Love the way you were able to use multiple pictures and love the flowers!! (I'm not telling what I am getting with my Benjamin yet...but I may just have a few more of those in LOs in the future!!)heehee!! And I am so glad to hear there is hope for the stubborn/rebellious teenagers that won't listen to reason!! My two oldest recently moved out (2 girls- 18 months apart) and I have to say, the house is so much more peaceful and I actually look forward to seeing and talking to them!! LOL!! Have a fabulous weekend!

Oh, Fern! What a beautiful layout! Your daughter is so pretty too. You and so many others are really inspiring me to do my first LO. I don't know why but I'm intimidated of doing layouts, I guess I think I won't do them well...
