That brick background is perfect! Love how you clustered the photos and your journaling. I can relate - Mike retired from the Army after 29 years and we settled in Florida.
This is lovely, Lynn! I really like the green/leaf papers peeking out from beneath the photos against the brown brick/solid papers. So eye-catching in the gallery! The packing/loading/moving tabs look great in the corner with the stacked boxes showcased in the opposite corner. Just love your journaling...great job!
