Tonight I finished up a "memory board" or a photo montage of my Aunt Pam..
It was my husbands idea to do it on one of our old windows we replaced from our breakfast nook... and he build an easel to stand it up..(such a handy creature he is... and he is definitely starting to think more outside the box!!! YEAH!!!!--we like that!)
If I say so myself.. it turned out just beautiful.. an wonderful collaboration of her short life with us all.. I am so happy with it! I think she would have loved it. Her funeral service is tomorrow and it will be placed at the reception afterwards for everyone to see! I will take pictures tomorrow to share here on my blog. Although it was somewhat hard making it,(hard meaning that I still am in denial that she is not here with us) in a sense it was good to go through our memories with her. It helped me feel like even now after she is gone... like I could be of help. It is midnight and I know I need to get to bed but am afraid to.. the last couple of nights have been restless due to anxiety issues.
I had a few ATC's stacked up that I have been meaning to list on EBAY and decided to list them tonight since I (with much relief) finished her photo montage.
Here is a preview of the ones I just listed on EBAY..
I am hoping to create this weekend... I have so many ideas in my head to commemorate my Aunt's life and do a tribute to her somehow.. I think by doing this ( including her montage) it can help me through the grieving process..
My Aunt was always so encouraging me to create.. of course always my ginny pig too with my new ideas/projects (ALMOST as bad as my Mother (smile))... AND... some ideas she had that I brought to life. I will miss her encouragement tremendously. When she was in the hospital (for the few days she was there) I had made her some earrings for her to wear when she got out... unfortunately she wasn't able to ever wear them. I think I will put them up for auction and donate the proceeds to the Childrens Hospital in Seattle,WA... something she would like for me to do. I will let you all know when I put them up!
will be thinking of you tomorrow.
big hugs and much love to you and all your family
