The inspiration behind Trisha’s album must be told first hand:
BY PAIGE EVANS
A

lbum created by
“After a crazy year – building a new home, going through a bout of cancer
Trisha Ladouceur
and treatments (which I won!), surviving a house fire, living in a hotel as
we rebuilt our house, and changing careers – I could have easily crumbled.
There were days I thought I might, let me tell you. Instead, I chose to do
the things in life that I wanted. It was not always easy for my family as I
made these personal changes, but it had to be done. My husband, Drew,
was my rock as I worked my way through what I needed to in order to
bring happiness into my world and for that I am eternally grateful. My
children, Logan and Carter, went along for this wild ride and came out my
little heroes. Today, I feel so very blessed to have my family, friends, health
and career in the scrapbooking world that I love! This mini album reflects
why my life is so full of joy and I hope that it will be a constant reminder
of what matters most.”
If you’ve gone through some tough challenges recently, there’s no better

back up.
