First LO of 2010!!! Very emotional....

Well Girls, I haven't scrapped since the 13th of Dec and I today I finally did my first LO of 2010!!! It is a scraplift I must say though, but it was a very emotional subject for me to scrap. I did the LO for a challenge over at Scrapchat forum -

Scrap about something you lost. It could be something good like weightloss, or terrible like a person, or heartbreaking like a friendship.

I scrapped a photo of me and my sister! You are probably asking why was it a very emotional LO for me...Well my sister died when I was 5 yrs old!
So it was hard for me to journal on this LO because it is almost 37 yrs ago and this is the first time that I have scrapped this photo. You can clearly see us having fun. And it makes me so sad to think that she was so young when she died and that we lost our friendship due to her untimely death at 2 yr 11 1/2 months.
She would have been 3 on the 7th of March but she died on the 14th Feb!

I scraplifted this LO from the Kaiser Q2 mag pg 80...
A LO from Hilary Nicholas - My Mother & Me using the Reminiscing Collection.

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving me your heartfelt comments. They put a smile on my face and lift my spirits. I really appreciate them, Luv Shaz xoxo
