This tray was made for my brother Patrick. Although I purchased it a couple years ago, I kind of had several ideas in my mind so I might be doing one more for him. I absolutely love making ATC's, so this was easy to create. I didn't have to purchase one thing. It all came from my stash of goodies. Since we've been challenged at SOC to use items we've been hoarding for years. I decided to do just that to mix in with my recent purchases. I found a grunge board, metal sheet, pewter brads, Cherished ribbon, and photo of the Memphis bridge taken in year 2000.

The image reminds me so much of our grandfather 'Papa', who was a deacon.
He was a praying man and we miss him dearly.
I can still see him crawl out the bed on his knees.
Before he said good morning he would talk to the Lord. |

Yes that's Mama Minnie's word....FAITH!
The garden embellishments remind us both of remembering our foundation
something Mama Minnie reminds us often. |
