Yesterday I sat down to go through the two boxes from Mum's glory box, I don't seem to be getting very far with it, it has been sitting in the office for weeks now. I start do a little and then don't get any further Plus I seem to be just packing it all back up in the box again Arrrrh
Well yesterday I sat down with determination to get is sorted but nope I sat there and cried as I sifted through all the bits and pieces. I found a old Keens Mustard tin which I thought said Genes coins, as Mum and Dad used to save their 5c pieces & loose change for my nephew and there is a gold coin rattling around in the tin. But on a closer look to me it said" Gene's Curl", so I looked more carefully and sure enough at the bottom of the tin was one beautiful blonde as could be, perfect curl, I will give it to my sister in law.Only a mother or grandma would save these little treasures.
Then I came across this School work of Chelsea's when she was little. I had forgotten all about it, but I must have given it to Mum, and as soon as I saw it I remember Chelsea doing this for homework. I just knew I had to scrap it so it wouldn't get lost. I didn't know how I would scrap it, so I just grabbed some PP and went for it. It sure turned out girly lol. Also the lace flower I found out at Mums, and the little heart jewel (hope its not worth a fortune and Ive stuck it on a page, oh well what better place for it). Chelsea had to say what we said when we first saw her, and this is what we said ~ The doctor said "you have a daughter", Mum said "I don't believe it", the doctor said "Well Have a Look " then we saw our daughter & she was truly beautiful. Now if that isn't a treasure to find I don't know what is and Isn't Scrapbooking the best to preserve these treasures.
And yep I packed the rest all back up again and put back in the box Arrrhhh
Hope you are enjoying your day. Please let me know you called by
Hugs Mary x
