This weeks theme at Gothic Arches is to create an arch using the theme “Patriotism”…I used the Military Honor stamps from Sugar Lump Studios with the photo stamp I love of my Dad during WWII (he is the cutie pie in the middle). Although my Dad was patriotic to the U.S.A. he was also a patriot to his parent’s homeland…Scotland. His heart ran true for both countries.

This week had given me time to reflect about the sacrifices so many have made for my country – including my son Andrew. We are awaiting his “leave time” as he should be told in the next few weeks when he can come home for a “2 week break”….it’s been 9 months since I last saw him. God Bless Our Troops!
