"Auntie Dee's Bear"

This is the sweetest layout. Allison's thoughtfulness is very touching. My oldest is named Allison and this is definitely something she would do.

Oh Marilyn, this is beautiful. I love that glass tree with the ornaments on it and what a sweet little bear that is. The background is so pretty with the lace doily and the pinks and cream colors are beautiful. What a sweet and thoughtful thing for Allison to do for you.

made my eyes tear up...very special indeed

How very special this is. Your layout is lovely, too and I love that tiny embellishment cluster in the corner with its elegant "D". Beautifully done.

How very thoughtful of your cousin! (and how thoughtful of you to send them a bear!) Such a lovely photo and LO to honor many lovely memories, I am sure. Wonderful way to honor your mother.

Oh my, what a wonderful email to receive. Pretty blending of the doily and photo - lovely and heartwarming LO.

That is so sweet and thoughtful of Allison. Auntie Dee Bear and her Christmas tree look so pretty together, and I love the doily mat you used behind the photo. That fancy letter D and candy cane heart are extra special embellishments. It's such a wonderful and touching memorial to your Mom.

Allison has a heart of gold, I know she missed seeing your mum and so she treasures this bear but how very thoughtful of a young girl to do this... It must make you smile to know the effect your mum had on her :-) wonderful blending to focus on the bear and tree, the colours are just so gorgeous together and including her words was inspired, this is beyond lovely.

Beautiful layout Marilyn. Such a thoughtful gesture.

Beautiful page, and such a sweet thing for her to do.
