    GPP Street Team: What's your hangup?

    I had told myself I wasn't going to do these challenges anymore. I was going to get serious and talk only about books, music and God.

    But darn it Michelle you just keep drawing me in!

    When I saw that you had extended the deadline for the latest crusade to January, and I had just done this great frame on my wall, I knew I was done for!

    The "frame" of these two collages is actually an old window frame from my great-grandmothers house in Germany. Each collage has to do with the ideas of home. The one on the left, with the little girl in it, was done by me. Its a bit of a representation of the innocence we have in our homes, our safe havens. The one on the right, with the heart, was done by my mother. It has memorabilia from my grandmothers house, another safe haven. I thought these three pieces would be a great way to show how much home means to me.

    I look forward to next years theme of evidence journaling!

    Continuing the adventure, 

    Jessica

    Jessica - so glad you caved in and shared this with the team! LOVE LOVE LOVE the frame! It is not only handsome but the story of where it came from is very dear and very cool. Love seeing your work displayed. I'm swooning over both pieces in the frame but utterly love that the entire thing is 3 generations of family. Super post - thanks again. Merry Christmas. See you in January :)
