My Sweet Little Dylan

Some of you may remember my sweet little niece Dylan. 

Well she turned 3 during my non-blogging stint

I love this picture! She is getting so big!

Just like her mommy she loves to draw. 

This was made with My Minds Eye, I just love this paper!!

Throw in a little washi tape and we are golden!!

Making Our Own Sun

This is by far one of my favorite layouts with my most favorite picture.

So simple and so fun!!

A simple layout with Simple Stories. 

Good friends and even better times. 

Rain or shine we make our own sunshine.

The Loss Of Someone Near and Dear

One March 18, 2014 we lost a very special friend.

Curtis Van Alen Joyce passed away doing what he loved, kayaking down the Colorado River.

He left behind his wife of six months, one of my dearest childhood friends.

His light shined so brightly with such an amazing soul.

He still lives on in all of us.

This was an awesome picture taken at his funeral with his family in the middle of the heart. 

Here is the layout I made to remember his wonderful life. 

I used the photo of the heart above as an embellishment.
The pictures above are of Curt's favorite river in White Salmon where he was a rafting tour guide. 

This layout is Curt and my dear friend Melissa celebrating their love.

Gone but NEVER forgotten. Always in hearts. We love you Curt Joyce!!
