Cori this turned out really great. I love how your thought process teaches us how and why you choose to keep or eliminate elements to your creations. I'm so glad your doing better physically and mentally with the piano trauma you have endured. Hugs and stay well.

[@CoriDahmen]

That warms my heart. Thank you. I know there are folks who don’t love the share-your-thoughts aspect, so I really appreciate hearing that it benefits some folks. And, the piano. I’ll never again own one, but my heart has stopped its racer-pace when I walk by one 😊

Cori, I really like this piece you made for your contribution to this Craftly Hall series. What a story to listen to and imagining what people and the home was like. Even better is having photos to make the story even more interesting. Thanks, Cori. So glad the piano doesn’t bring back memories in a negative way and it may have in the past. Whew, you got through to the other side of that trauma. It must have been awful.

[@CoriDahmen]

LOL. Thank you. I will have a)help move an old piano and b) have a real piano in my home, but I can now see a piano without breaking out into a cold sweat. I'm taking that as a win!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you and sure! I got the story itself from Tracie's website. TracieFoxCreative and it printed at a good font size, just as it was. It's in the members area under 2024, along with some other exceptionally cool freebies. If you're not a member it is very easy to sign up. I printed the tracing paper on my ink jet printer and I just loaded it one page at a time. I had np issues with it.

[@CoriDahmen]

I use Epson premium quality matte paper (Amazon is my source) in a medium weight (100 sheets per box) and a heavy weight (50 sheets per box) for the pages and the ephemera.
