Missing Mel and ADFD - Vintage + Polka Dots

I just have to start today by remembering my dear friend Melanie, who died 2 years ago today from cancer.  
 (Mel and me, August 2009)
I can't believe it's been 2 years - in some ways it feels like it was just yesterday and in other ways it feels like it's been longer than 2 years... not one day has gone by that I haven't thought about her.  She's the first person I've lost that I can say that about.  Not one single day.  I love you, Mel.

Well, I did get to see the eclipse last night thanks to my husband's welder glasses - but I didn't get any good pictures.  I didn't realize I'd need some special equipment for my camera in order to get good pics - oh well!  It was cool just watching it.

I have this card to share with you for the:


I used one of the adorable new clown images from ADFD, colored with Prismacolor markers, pencils, and mineral spirits.  I paper-pieced her dress & hat and added brads and ribbon from SU!
Peace.
