I Remember You...

I am sharing something this afternoon that is very precious to me. If I have previously posted any part of this, I'm sorry for posting again. This is a mini album I made a couple of years ago in memory of my Papaw (Grandpa), Quinton Tolliver. This past July marked 30 years with out him. I was only nine when he passed away, but he is still so very alive in my heart. There isn't a day that goes by without my thinking of him and wondering what he would be like as an "older man". You see, he was only 52 at the time of his death. I just wanted to share this little treasure with you today. The cover is a photo of my Granny, who is 83 and you've seen her pic on here before, and Papaw when they were newlyweds.

This is a peek at the inside. This photo was taken in 1956 and my Auntie was just three here.

This just shows all the yummy ribbons I used in the book.

Another side view. I used alpha clips from Hobby Lobby to spell Papaw down the side.

Since I made it a few years ago I only remember the book came from 7 Gypsies, some of the paper was Diane's Daughters and the flowers were from Prima. I really don't recall the rest, so we'll just call it "stash". I hope you've been inspired to create a mini album in memory or honor of someone.

Blessings,
