The one that nearly got away.

I bet most of you have done this, there I was cleaning out the cupboard that everyone chucks things in but no-one likes to find anything in, i was being ruthless, throwing out everything that my hands touched and I was just about to put a stiff backed envelope into the bin when I decided to look inside it, no writing clues on it at all and it didn’t particularly feel as if there would be anything inside it so why I looked I’ll never know but I’m pleased I did.

inside the envelope was a photograph of our two daughters from when they were young not a small postcard one but a 8” x 10” one.

So onto todays share a new digital scrapbook page.

Thank heavens for my nosiness

The Real Heart of Christmas Time

We forget forget to thank all of the hard working Mamma’s around the world put in to making it a special Christmas for all the family to enjoy. We al love our presents but behind the scenes is a special someone that brings it all together, so my card is dedicated to all of them.

Mummu’s Nissu by Mo’s Digital Pencil  she’s not really a Christmas image but I think it works very well.

Once my girls were old enough to want to stay at home for Christmas Dinner so they could play with their presents I took over the role of preparing Christmas Dinner and my Mam got to have a rest from it, She’ll be joining us this year too along with Grandson Jack and his mam and Dad.
