I love how this page turned out. It literally came together in minutes and the pics are so sweet! I even squeezed a new product on this page! The journaling is done using a new in color, primrose petals! Such a pretty pink!
I work with a lot of wonderful ladies, but one has become a very dear friend to me. Even though 10 years separate us, we have such a great relationship both personally and professionally. Her daughter has become like a little cousin to my girls and they love spending time with her. When my friend told me she was pregnant, last year, I was so happy for her! Their family had been going through some difficult times and this was such a special, happy gift. We anxiously awaited the arrival of the new baby. Although I have a few months off during the summer, she works year round. I kept telling her we would be on vacation together this year. I was right. About a week and a half after school let out, she had her baby. Her DH was working nights and she was at home with her daughter, so her daughter ended up going to the hospital in her PJs in the wee hours of the morning. I got the call later, that the newest addition to the family had arrived, and in less than 2 hours, we were at the hospital with a change of clothes for Big Sis (in their rush to get to the hospital, she did not grab extra clothes) and a present for the new baby. My girls were thrilled to meet the new baby and were so honored to be able to hold her. After a short visit with Mom and Dad, we took Big Sis out to eat lunch and went to a local park to play. It really was such a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely page and story. The best gift for a new mom are exactly what you've given her: your time and help, especially when she already has an older child. I can see many more special memories (and scrapbook pages!) being made
