TWO WEEKS IN.......

.....ten great prompts from JENNIFER'S PROJECTS THAT WOW! class (with SO many ideas attached ...this class is most DEFINATELY worth the 10GBP!!)....and, I am ashamed to say, one layout completed!

Prompt 1 was about 'Soulful Scrapping'

I have just noticed the shadow on this pic.....oops!

This picture was taken almost nineteen years ago to the day....it was our last night at Disneyland Paris and we had just had our final walk around the Park. We decided to have one last train ride , and this was one of the photographs I took of us passing the time waiting for the train (ME...taking photos?!..surely not!).

Little did I realise at the time, just how precious these photographs were to become.

I have now inserted the missing 'L' in 'hotel'!

I'm not telling you in which ways I've used Jennifer's suggestions...if you want to know, go join the class...like I previously said, it's well worth it!

I'm hoping to get another layout started (and maybe even finished) today...hope you find some 'crafty' time this weekend!

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you

STORYTELLING SUNDAY

On the first Sunday of every month, encouraged by the lovely SIAN over at  FROM HIGH IN THE SKY, Bloggers from all points of the globe get together and tell stories...happy stories, funny stories, sad stories, long stories, short stories, stories with or without pictures- anything goes, and EVERYONE is made very welcome...if you have a story to tell, or if you just wish to sit and enjoy a story or two (or more!), please consider stopping by HERE and joining us.

I apologise for a bit of self-indulgence here, but Sian mentioned 'anniversaries' as a possible topic , on one of her recent posts. As we all  know, not all anniversaries are of happy occasions, and I'm afraid that in June, the only anniversary on my mind is on the 25th, which is the Anniversary of the car crash in which our son, Stuart was killed, 18 years ago.

However, the story I really want to share is that we were returning from a wonderful family holiday at DISNEYLAND PARIS. We had spent a week there, staying in one of the on-site hotels and both Stuart and Kirsty  had a wonderful time. One of the best memories I have, is of the evening we walked through Disney Village and lo and behold, there were the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES..Stuart's heroes! He was SO excited and his face was a picture

Memories like these are special girls...that's why we scrap and why we tell our stories..and why we should live life to its full- enjoy as many moments with our families as is possible...life can be short- make the most of it!

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you
