Sew much for heredity layout

 Over on the Glue Arts blog we are having a sponsored week with My Little Shoebox. They were so generous with us and sent us fabulous kits to work with. I had fun actually creating a layout for the post. This layout was inspired by the sewing theme, and I think I love that block with the sewing machine most of all  ( aside from the meaningful journaling and priceless photos).
