On FaceBook last night, I wrote "
One year ago today...love and miss you so much, dad..." and the loving words of support from my friends (even the ones that lurk! lol!) poured in. WOW. Thank you - I needed that. I have to say the power of FaceBook is amazing :0)
I posted A Tribute to My Dad last September and it was a nice reminder of what my dad was all about. Also in that post, I included a picture of him that I took the day I left for home - it was the only picture during my stay that he looked his best. Today I'd like to share an ATC I created using his picture from his school days (I think junior high or high school) in the late 1930s to early 40s...

We had a small family memorial service at home - it's handy to have a Buddhist priest as your hubby! LOL!! The rest of the family held the memorial service at the family temple in Japan so he was "covered" on both countries :0)
Never created an ATC with a picture in it. Have you? I like this idea and plan to use it more often!
Thanks for stopping by!

So hard to see people go. You're ATC is lovely. I hope it brings you much joy when you look at it. Love the metal accents especially.
Great ATC - love how you managed to work a photo into such a small space!
Such a beautiful tribute to your dad.
