Journaling reads: Since about 2000, whenever she was staying with me Allison has accompanied me to my Thursday “lunch bunch” outings with THE GIRLS. She has tremendously enjoyed these get-togethers with my group of friends who are so varied in age and occupation. We have ages from thirtyish through retirees (seniors). Most are still working; all are community activitists and leaders. She has fun with us; she also finds acceptance and, perhaps most importantly, she is surrounded with positive female role models.
(I did this for the font challenge; forgot I had to use Deco-Pages products and used a kit that has been in my stash for a couple of years and never used! LOL)
Well your layout caught my eye and I do think you made great use of the two fonts. I also really like the subject matter. One of the things I would like is for my kids to spend more time with the older generation. I also like the layering you have to create a great composition.

Could not ask for anything more than that...good role models are often hard to find, especially that they "like". Nice job on the page!
