Another B-D

Well, the first layout below is of a photo taken 44 years ago. And I remember the day my Mother posed me for that photo. Well, maybe not the day, but I do remember that dress. It was a mauve/pink/white plaid style, medium-weight cotton, with a layered lace bib. I am seeing my daughter and my nieces in this picture. Wow, famiy resemblances, or what! I finished these few layouts this past weekend at a fundraising scrapbooking crop at the Polish RC in Cooks Creek. What a wonderful collection of folks to spend the day with, all of us busy creating to our little hearts' content! Thank you Ashley for a spectacular event!

Kenosee, Saskatchewan

Last week, I spent some time away at Kenosee with some fabulous women. Just being plain old creative. Doing whatever it is I wanted to do. Tried some things I have wanted to try for quite awhile, with my scrapbooking pages. And managed, in the end, to get 30 pages done. Three of the mornings (full half-day each), I spent working on some genealogy for when I went a visitin' a relative on the Friday. I have taken to journalling on the "back" of my layouts! And yep, for all those who know me, big step - my own handwriting! For some reason, I have no problem doing this--on the back! I did some pictures from those I inherited from my Mom a few years ago when she passed. Fun time remembering days before ... layouts below. During the week, I discovered sewing on my layouts and love it! Mixing things up, like embossing powders, to get the look I wanted - felt like a chemist! Wine may have been involved ... good wine ... nough said. And O.M.G - inspiration forever from the fantastic ladies I spent the week with. Non-stop / e.v.e.r.y. day! Ohhhh, and I discovered Luke Bryan ... can someone say he's quite the entertainer ... and not bad on the eyes either!
