P.S. There is a weird glare from the mica on her face. Her face is without any markings. It looks like a tear in the pic. But this is about Strength. We ain't got time for tears.

Just sayin'.

Mom's House Is A Very Very Very Nice House

 What better way to honor my Mom, who turned 75 this year, than with a house shaped book created with love by her children and grandchildren. 

Because no matter where we are 

wherever Mom lives

is Home.  

These are the  front 

and inside front pages

done by me. 

 The above pages are made 

by my brother Dan.

He is the oldest child.

And Precious Boy.

teehee.

These pages are my done by

my bro's oldest son, Joe.

And yeah, that is a perpetual sign 

that says "Best Grandma Ever."
Joe is a technological wizard.

These pages are done by my
brother's oldest daughter,
Carolyn.

These pages are done by my

bro's daughter,

Anne Marie.

This page is done by 
my sister Deb. Yeah I know
its upside down. But today's word is
Lazy. 
teehee.

These pages are done by my 
sister Deb's son, Tim.
He is my Godson.
I saw him come out. 
So yeah he is AMAZING.

These pages are done by me.
You probably recognize the red hair.
Look how tiny Sam was. Barely 5 lbs. 
That is 4 generations of women. 
In the background is the Ashokan Reservoir. 
One of 
the most beautiful places on the planet. 
My soul lives there....
And so did
my grandparents. 
Coincidence? I think not.
The Shawangunk Mountains are the background
of the pic of me and my mom. 
Mountain women.
Not really.
Unless it's this kind of Mountain House. 
My mom made Sam's baby quilt.
And the pocket holds a love letter
I wrote to my mom.
And recited at her surprise 75th birthday party.
I didn't pass out or barf in front of the guests. 
I highly recommend Cook's Champagne
as a calming tonic.
teehee.

 

These are my daughter

Samantha's pages.

she is the artistic one.

I am just the finder of glue sticks

and scissors.

Here is the page I made
to represent my Dad. Cuz, well,
the Colonel don't do glue.
Feel me?
I put the speech he read at my mom's party
in the little pocket.

This is the back page. I wanted it to look like a girl scout vest covered in badges.
There are stamps for every state my mom and dad have lived in. And stamps representing her varied interests. This was a fun one.

Inspiration and techniques 
supplied by the book
"In This House"by
Angela Cartwright and Sarah Fishburn. 


And Mom.
