Oh this is just beautiful Fran..I can just imagine what a wonderful experience it must have been. How frustrating it must have been not to have had your camera at that moment :) Lots of good wishes coming your way and wishing Laura a speedy recovery :)x
Wow I got goose bumps.. its been said.. if a butterfly lands on you.. that you are blessed with good things to come.. That reenactment was beautifully done.. It looked REAL... Funny the other day a butterfly flew by and I told everyone to stop.. cause I want him to land on me! LOL I need that luck... Laura must be on her way to perfect health... Beautiful layout Fran.

Oh my goodness Fran, what a lovely photo of your beautiful Ms. Bean! What a moment to capture and lacy kat is just too awesome for lending a hand! Your lo is just perfection too! love the sewing, the peek-a-boo-lace trim and that gorgeous rose trim! You did an awesome job on this beautiful creation dear friend!
Sorry this took me so long, Fran - I'm behind in everything! That is a fantastic layout and photo in too many ways to count and your description is absolutely lovely! Fabulous job - Ilove the layering and all the trim. I'm sure Laura will treasure this forever!
This LO was made as a special surprise for Laura, aka Mrs. Bean, who is celebrating her journey to wellness this month. The scene depicted was altered for us by my sweet, caring friend, LaceyKat. Thank you so much, Alvie. You captured the moment beautifully for us.
In 2010, while out in our boat, a large number of Monarch butterflies flew overhead, on their migration route south. Some of them found a resting place on Laura for a few minutes. I have never seen anything like that before or since. Unfortunately, I had left my camera at the house that day and missed a wonderful photo opportunity. With Laura recreating her pose, and Alvie editing the pic by adding the butterflies, we were able to recreate the scene for this LO almost exactly!
A personal journal can be revealed by pulling the leaf behind the flowers at the top of the page.
Laura, may you continue to get well and enjoy many more years of all life has to offer.
Thanks to all who leave a comment for me. Your thoughtfulness is always appreciated.
