I Miss this. . .

I posted a challenge over at 2 Spotted Dogs (see here)
Here is my example. This one covers 2 challenges - Sewing and rub-ons.

Journaling is tucked away in the little owl pocket that I made with left over scraps.
It reads:
I miss this . . .
I was going through some old pictures
and came across this one. It stopped
me right in my tracks.
I don’t even remember you looking like
that. You were ten years old. I miss
you at that age. I miss you living
with us. I miss hearing you chatter
about school, friends and horses. I
miss your obsession with movies and
clothes. Your spot at the dinner table
is empty most of the time. We
really miss you. It’s not just me
and your dad that miss you, Izzy
and Khalila miss you too.

The other day when we took you
out for dinner, I looked at the
Beautiful young lady sitting across
from me, and for a moment I wondered
how you had changed so quickly –
but all of sudden there you and
Izzy went laughing and carrying
on. Just like old times. O.K.
so I pretend to be embarrassed and
I tell you guys not knock it off,
but deep down inside I’m glad you
are still you and you guys still know
how to have fun and you still connect
like siblings. Journaling 2/08
