I just love heather colours don’t you? there is just something about them. The Silver Fairy digi is from Wee Stamps and i tried to keep her in pastel tones as I had lots of colour with the Stampin Up paper and ribbon

I love the way that this on is sitting on the arced blossom branch. Sweet_Blossom1

The one I Restored

I told you earlier about the photo’s that I restored this is the one that was badly damaged in the bombing, I had to build up the right side of his face again, I’m so happy that I did this as this is my  Grand Father in his teen years and is the only photograph we have of him in the teens.

Family Tree

Do you do this, trace your Family Tree? I used to but as my Fathers home was bombed during the war many of the history was lost, they did however have one or two pictures which were salvaged and I had to digitally restore them. I have one of my Dads Father which took an age to repair but I was quite pleased with the outcome, I’ll make a scrapbook page soon with that one.

The one below was took a good few years after the was but I love it none the less. The Ganny was a betting lady, loved a flutter on the horses and my dad had the job of placing the bets for her.

My Grandma, Auntie Alice the Ganny (Dads Grand Mother) and Auntie Alice’s Twin Boys Alan and Warren,

The Fat Lady–Eeek!

Well they say that TV adds weight and my Mam confirmed that to me lol! very nicely of course as she wouldn’t hurt a fly, it was suggested that I shouldn’t wear a certain top again when on TV ha ha! I pointed out that I am fat so there's no getting away from it but I’m also jolly like this next image.

The Fat Lady by Mo’s Digital Pencil thankfully I’m not quite this big yet but if i don’t get motivated it could be on the cards (excuse the pun)

the fat lady1

I’m planning ringlets just like her. I seem to have also picked up a rotton head cold whilst at Peterborough and I have a throat like razor blades with nice yellow spots on my tonsils.

Gardeners Delight

I could name umpteen occasions that this image would be suitable for, it reminds me of home, both my Mam and Dad were gardening mad and in fact my Mam still is, even being wheelchair bound doesn’t stop her, in summer nights she is out in the garden until dark, weeding and planting and just enjoying the fresh air and the delights of all her hard work.

Nee Nah!

We had babysitting duties tonight, we took Jack to McDonalds but before we did Chris had to book off call at the fire station or as Jack calls it the Nee nah!

He was adamant that he was going in with Grandad and loved it.

He even got to sit in the engine and was all smiles until……… Grandad sounded the sirens or should that be neenahs?
