Sorry for the glare on the pic darn it! This is a LO of myself, my late MIL's sister Linda, and her best friend Debbi, taken two days after her funeral. I still remember how devastated we all were, but trying to hold up ya know? I think everyone was still in shock. Ah well, anyways - I was inspired by the song "Smile" by Nat King Cole and added the first part of the song in the title and strips at bottom. Flowers were inspired by Gabrielle Pollacco's tutorial on making ruffled blooms which can be found here: gabriellepollacco.blogspot.com/
Thanks so much for looking :)
