I always get a side eye when I smooth out and save tissue paper from gifts. What folks don’t understand is how cool it is to use in collage! (Tissue paper is like an extra gift.) This took longer than 5 minutes because I really got involved in this one. Fun, airy, light.   Moral of this post: There is no need to actually buy me gifts; just a wad of tissue paper will thrill me!😎

Ok, this one made me cry. Everything was significant: Mom’s diary of all the books she read, that one of the book titles was “No Greater Love,” her handwriting, the green “W” on the bottom left side for her maiden name West, and the green “S” on the right side along with the 1945 wedding photo of when she became a Shaw, and her memorial card from the day I said that final, tearful  goodbye. And that brings us to the prompt - lyrics from one of my most treasured songs.
