The Glory of Love!

Good Morning everyone!  I hope you are all enjoying March!  My husband and I celebrated our 26th anniversary this past week - on March 3rd.  I cannot believe that 26 years have gone by so quickly!!  And it all started with a blind date.  My friend and co-worker, Yonnie, arranged our blind date and we are still married 26 years later.  Imagine that!

Here are 2 black & white photos taken at our wedding:




And one taken this past Saturday in Central Park, NYC:


Time flies, doesn't it?  It seems like just yesterday . . .

And today I would like to share a layout I made for Challenge YOUrself!


I used one of my favorite photos taken on Christmas day and used chevrons galore:




I attended a weekend crop and used lots of new Stampin Up goodies.  I also used a quote from a favorite song: The glory of love!

I hope you get a chance to check out this month's Challenge YOUrself challenge!  Get your chevrons out!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!  I appreciate your visits so much.  Hugs!

    Happy Anniversary!!! I love the black and white photos and I so love the NYC one, it always reminded me of my 8 years living there.
    Beautiful layout, not your usual color scheme but it is as lovely as always! Can't wait to get into the craft room and make mine!
