Once Upon a Sketch - "Missing You"

Once Upon a Sketch Challenge ends on March 31st. http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/
Once Upon a Sketch has done it again! This time, they've inspired me to remember Grandma Ruth. When I was younger and naive, I thought time would stand still, and I'd have time to visit Grandma Ruth and ask her in her own words to tell me about her life, her struggles, her joys and her being unlucky in love. I missed the opportunity to know her as a person and in scrapping this page, I asked others of what they knew of her. For those of you who still have someone in your life that you'd like to know more about, call them, make a date to meet with them one on one, because time waits for no one.

  11. Wow Joyce, what a beautiful page! Just as Michele I'm intrigued by the border. Love how the cluster travels up the right of the photo and how you have repeated the stamped black doily in the bigger ones under the photo. Absolutely wonderful page! xxx
