Cora Hazel Barbour Oakes

This lovely lady is my grandmother; my father's mother.  Even though I always knew of her when I was growing up, I never got to meet her.  Still, I feel her in my heart.  One day, we will know each other and will spend forever together.   I used Lauren Bavin's wonderful heritage Value Collection, Stories of the Past. The scattered diamonds are from Nicole Young's Vintage Show Total Drama (recolored).  The loopy tension stitching is from Meryl Bartho's Stitched With Love - Slightly Untidy.  The little pink flowers are from Carol Ann Gary's Happiness is Contagious, which, unfortunately is no longer in the Digital Scrapbook Place Store.
