"Lest We Forget"

With the noreaster that blew through New Hampshire last week, I wasn't doing much tangling, so I took some time today to pull out some tiles and get back to work.  Laura Harms, a CZT in Canada, posts a Weekly Challenge on her blog, I am the Diva, and I thought I would give it a whirl.  Quite fittingly for this Veterans Day week, it is to remember. 
While I worked on this tile, I am remembered far too many people:  my grandparents, aunts and uncles, my cousin David, my friends who left us all too soon, and unfortunately, some of my children's friends.  I miss them all.

  4. Thank you for all the nice words. Yes, I did use a metallic gel pen for the poppies. I was inspired by Karen Lynn to make the flowers "pop out," and I'm so glad I did.
