Morning lovely people
Hope everyone is well and keeping warm. I am feeling like a need a coffee at the moment to perk me up. Saw this on Pinterest and made me laugh. I think I am needing a few coffees at the moment
Yesterday I did a layout of my Grandfather, Patrick John Madden, my Mum's Dad. We called him Pa. I don't really remember him as I was only 4 when he died. I can tell by the way Mum talks that they were very close. As my Journalling on the shipping tag slid in the side of the Pic says, my grandfather lost his arm whilst climbing over a fence and the gun he was carrying went off. My Mum used to help him in the paddocks and he used to say she was his other arm.
I did this layout for a step by step for our monthly Friday night scrap/chat night over at the Boxx http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/
The PP is Bo Bunnys Double Dots, the clock PP is Kaiser "Vintage Timeless Collection" The clock embellishment is I believe My2Angels http://www.my2angels.net/ Braids from Craftqueen http://www.craftqueen.com.au/
I really enjoy doing layouts of My Heritage, I think it's to do with carrying the memory and story on for my children and their children.
Now to choose a song from the 80's for the challenge over at Scrapthatsong http://scrapthatsong.blogspot.com.au/ Would love for you to join us. Heaps of great songs from the 80's
