Endurance Grace kit by Creative Victorian Designs
Reusing photo's...yes I am. Made this layout for the Heritage Challenge on Creative Victorian forum/gallery. And having some serious mixing thoughts about it. Though I picked the colors my grandmother had all over her house, I had a hard time using them in this layout.
Pictured are my maternal grandparents, young and happy in 1943. The following year they had their first born child who passed at 18 months old (9 days before the birth of their 2nd, my mom). I never met my grandfather, as I believe that the tragedy of loss was too much for their hearts to handle.
I remember when we had one of these clocks hanging on our wall. Until my mom and step-dad got married. The maid of honor and best man came and redecorated our house; pouring 5 lbs of rice in their bed, t.p.'d the entire house, put pots n pans in the frig, and turned the clock upside down, among other things (my room was safe though..whew). The clock kept time after that, but her tail and eyes remained still :(
