Here's the layout i did yesterday from my total papercraft kit. Ive added some journalling on the 'brightsiding' tab, which is a reference to mums tendency to always find a bright side in everything (wish i was more like it!) . The photo is special because it was the day weekend after Kens funeral and we were all down at the sea front cafe having a big breakfast. It serves as a reminder that there ARE going to be good family times aheaad for all of us, despite what we might have thought.

Thanks for the nice comments girls - that one means alot to me. Ken would have been so pleased and proud of us for making it a happy time like that (and the breakfast was awesome) and thats basically what it says on the journalling. The only shame is that Rita was taking the pic so isnt in it, and Twiz is scowling a bit, but its got everyone else so ive gone with it but it made a smaller photo as I had to crop it a bit to get extraneous bods out of it.
