Back again!
And I am wishing that, after nearly four days off work I had more to report, but it's been a very quiet Easter holiday for us. The weather having been a bit of a let down, we have spent most of the time at home, chatting, knitting (a little), reading (a lot), eating (too much) and drinking wine (far too much!). With Mum away on a little holiday and the Boy rolling in his sick bed at home, you would think I had the perfect chance to catch up on some scrapbooking? But, no. Nothing for 4 days. part of the problem being a lack of inspiring photos.
The huge box of old pictures we insist on carting around from place to place is looking tempting to me now. It just might be the right time to begin investigating it's depths. although I don't know how the girls will feel if I start scrapping their baby pictures now?!
On the subject of old photos, a lo from a few weeks ago.
Can you guess who it is..............?
Yep. Despite looking like the image of my eldest, it is actually moi, at about ten I think?
A blatant attempt to use up some of the huge stash I seem to have amassed in the last few months. I think this is an old Bad Girls kit with lots of 7 Gypsies stickers.
I am not really sure about this. Although, itdoes say what I felt about looking at such an old picture of myself. A barely recognisable child with a life time ahead. Much of which feels like a life time behind.
Here another child with a story of her own.
Looking at these two pages together on my table has brought me back to an on-going mystery. After scrapping for about 8 years now it still eludes me. Where is my style?
Isn't is just supposed to 'materialise' after a while? I suppose both pages do have some similarities in the way the papers and embellishments are grouped? But after that, what?
Is it just that I can't see it? Or is it (as I strongly suspect) that I just don't have one?
Have to say I love this second page. Everything about it; the quirky papers and colours.
Finally a very rare photo of the eldest girl. Not the most flattering picture. It was taken for her most recent security pass, and she can't help but look really pi**ed! This girl does not like having her picture taken.
With the journalling, I have tried to say everything about her that the photo doesn't say...
I am really hoping for some sunshine this afternoon to take photos of the pretty bursting blooms that are all around the house just now. Their beauty is so fleeting I am keen to capture them now.
If like me you are back to work tomorrow, I hope you have enjoyed your break and had a Happy Easter.
Thanks for stopping by. xxx
