Note: Jen has her very interestingly shaped pages on rings, and instead of flipping horizontally, they flip vertically. Just thought you should know that.
Jen started things off with a cabinet card of a baby by the name of Caiterine, and on my pages, she makes a reappearance, a decade later, and under drastically different circumstances.
Here is Caiterine, surrounded by lace. I have so much of that stuff set aside for my Vintage Lace group, I just had to use some for this page. There's something about vintage photos of little girls that just calls for some frou-frou.
And here is the story (which does explain the appearance of the cat).
Just in case the text is hard to read in the full photo......
By the way, the comment about the prissy cousins refers back to something Elena wrote on the pages that came before mine. It's fun to figure out ways to continue the story's thread.
I know Jen like pink and Jen likes girly, so I'm thinking she'll like what I did.

Ooooh, I love this one. Very feminine and girlish. I think these lacebooks are corrupting you...
You did a fantastic job. Every time I see a post I get excited about seeing my book when it returns home. This has been such a fun project.
You are becoming the queen of lace and frou frou. This is gorgeous. Fun!
LIKE it! She'll LOVE it! Wow, you are really rocking these lace pages! LOVE all the stuff you've been creating!
Love the frou frou and innocence--quite a stretch. I can't wait to get my hands on this journal and introduce a dash of grungy reality.
