Maggi's word challenge sent me into a Carpe Diem tailspin. LOL! This layout didn't come out exactly as I envisioned it, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. I finished the sentence this way: Life is short. Then I found pictures from my old family photos and more recent pics that are similar: my grandparents cutting their wedding cake in 1942 and dh and I cutting ours in 1997; my (other) grandparents holding my sister and I in 1970 and holding my kids earlier this year; my father and his little sister in 1948 and my kids in 2003; my parents with my sister and I in 1970 and my family of 4 just about a month ago. The years are on the pics and the captions read "savor every bite" (with the wedding cake), "hug long/hug hard" and "cherish every moment."
