Digital Scrapbooking by blushbutter

Deb says" I have always loved family, and although family doesn’t always get along, I think that the love should get you through the rough times. I realize it’s not always the way it works, and family doesn’t always stay close, but I’m thankful for my family, and especially for the ones who take the time to keep in touch. So this month, I thought it would be nice to see everyone’s family, and feel the love. Feel free to blur the photos, if you don’t like posting them online."
