Wow, it's been a while since I got to post! Easter wore me out this year and I needed some time to rest. This past weekend my oldest daughter was confirmed. She chose St. Patrick as her saint and wore her Easter dress. She looked beautiful and I am so proud of her. She was so excited that night, she had really been looking forward to the big event. I wanted to give Ally a unique gift that would show her own individuality and how much I love and respect her. I decided to make a collage of some important items and events in her life for the last year or so. Here is how it came out. My friends Tricia and Barbara helped me with it. This frame is just little snippets of Ally's life. If you look closely you will see: pearls,wire treble clefs, little fleur de lis, lots of antique looking keys, a picture of the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, lots of pictures of her friends and productions she's been in, an image of the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus, a Finch Bird, her initials, a bottle of 'faith', dried flowers and a bottle of 'hope'. It wasn't hard to make, the frame was purchased from Archivers along with a mini pack of paper and coordinating ribbon. Then I collected little items that I thought meant something to her. It was kind of like making 12 little scrapbook pages. My favorite items are the bottles of faith and hope. I had so much fun making this frame, I think Ally really appreciated it. I really appreciate Tricia for cutting out all of the little pieces of paper and Barbara for her great ideas and support.
