I think it's so wonderful that you found those receipts. This is such a treasure of a page and I enjoyed reading the story behind the layout. Those photos are so sweet!
I'm sorry for your loss Betty. I bet it does do you heart good to know how much those trips meant to them. Love your page !!! This will be a special page for generations to come.
What a wonderful story - it's so heartwarming to know how much these trips meant to your parents - what a wonderful page you've created with great journaling - love how you've attached your mother's handwritten note - the page from the little bear story is such a cute addition.
I am so very sorry about the loss of your dear mom. but I am so happy that you found these receipts and knew that your mom and dad had a wonderful time of the vacations that you gave them. I love these photos so much! Your page is what scrapbooking is all about, to me! Thank you for sharing it with us!!!!
Journaling reads: For four Christmases (1991-1994), all of us kids got together and gave Mama and Daddy a week’s vacation in Franklin, North Carolina. The name of their cabin was Forest Glen. I recently found an envelope, with all their receipts inside. A copy of what was written is at the bottom of this page. I’m so glad that they enjoyed these trips so much. These photos were taken during their 1992 stay. By 1995, they were both in their 70’s and no longer felt safe driving up by themselves. I am so glad that we were able to give them those four years of wonderful memories.
The envelope with all the receipts is attached to the back of this page.
My mother passed away June 23rd, and I found these things while cleaning out her house. It really did my heart good to find this sweet note that she had written on the envelope where she had saved all of the receipts from these vacations.
The design is based on a PageMaps sketch. The pps are October Afternoon. The title was done with BG stickers. I copied and shrunk the note from the envelope attached at bottom left - also did the same with that bit of brochure. The bear, fox & tree in the bottom right were fussy cut from pp. Thanks so much for looking...
