There are a lot of great papers that you just insert your cropped photos into the open spaces. The one I used still had plenty of space for journaling, too. They still look great and it saves a lot of work. You may want to slip one in here and there since you have 20+ years worth! Might break up the monotony for you. I have also seen a paper piecing pattern for a stocking that was patchwork Christmas papers. Instead of a few of the pieces they had three or four pictures. I can't remember where I saw it, but there's a few places I can look. Even if I can't find it, I think this would be pretty easy to do. Just draw a simple stocking shape that takes up most of the page. Crop a few pages into wedges, triangles, etc. that would fit on the stocking, leaving plenty of space between them. Then use assorted Christmas patterned papers to fill in the spaces to complete the stocking. Finish with holly leaves or whatever around the edges. It sounds confusing, but it's hard to explain. If you can picture it in your head from my explanation, you can do it. I'll look for the pattern and if I find it I'll post it. Good luck and happy scrappin'! -Sarah

Here is a short poem for you: There where many jobs that would have paid you much more, but cash was not the only thing that you worked for. You saw you were needed and willingly answered the call, helped thousands of students who once roamed these halls. By opening your heart, you expanded their minds, filled them with knowledge so jobs they too could find. Shared the hurt when they tried and failed, and then clapped the loudest when they finally prevailed. Through the years you've done your part, gave all you had and it came from your heart. We could never know all the lives that you've touched, but one things for certain, you are loved very much. Penny
