This is a picture of a recent spread in my altered book journal. My son is, here at my house today, installing a new bathroom floor for us and it is much appreciated. He's doing a terrific job especially since he's very new to the home improvement stuff :)
Watching him in this very adult role made me turn to thoughts of him as a young boy. It's amazing how fast time goes through the eyes of children.
I used some pictures of David, as a young boy, scanned them and decided to include them in this spread. The one on the left is of him when he was just 4 years old. How he loved balloons and they always had to be red :) On the right-hand page you will see a niche I cut out and included part of David's face from a picture of him when he was 8 years old.
This was a fun and meaningful spread to work on.
Just a reminder, the deadline for my recent Blog giveaway is Sunday, Feb. 22 (SEE PREVIOUS POST).
I will be announcing the winner Monday, Feb. 23rd. Good luck everyone!
Hope you're all having a good week and wishing you a safe and happy weekend ahead.
Much love, Marilyn

Marilyn,
As you know by now, I'm a softy for these sweetly sentimental pieces,....and this spread is so special. Having him 'around the house' while you were working must have enhanced the creating.
This is such a loving page! PERFECT.
