LEST WE FORGET

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day, a day of which we should all give our thanks to those who have fought for our freedom. Whether in the past or present, each and every soldier that has devoted their time to serve our country, we should always be thankful.

Please remember that it is because of the work that they do that we are able to live a life of such freedoms. Please remember that many of these soldiers did NOT come home. And please remember that we owe these veterans our utmost respect and honour.

Hold your head up high, and be proud to be a Canadian!

For me, I would personally like to take a moment to say THANK YOU.........to those soldiers that lost their lives, and to those that are still in the fight for freedom and peace.

I have many ancestors who served our country, many came home, and some did not. Tomorrow I will remember each and every one of them, along with those soldiers that are of no relation to me at all!



In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

John McCrae (1872-1918)



LEST WE FORGET

Digging Digi

Well with much persuasion over the past months, I finally decided that it was time to try my hand at some digital layouts.
Although Peggy and several others thought that this was something I should have tried my hand at a long time ago, I only really started because Dawn asked me to join her in a crop at DST.
The chat was BRING A FRIEND, and for attending you received the most amazing kit that was designed by the DST design team. This is what I used to get started with digi scrapping. THANK YOU to all those that created this marvelous kit...it truly is beautiful!
Although I can't see me going totally digital, I am loving the opportunity to play in my PSP program and see what I can do while I am just sitting in front of the computer and not playing with my paper.
Here are just a few of the layouts I have done....hope you enjoy!
