PHOTO'S REMIND US

Hello on a day that didn't start off to bad and turned freezing and wet this afternoon.
I had my scrapbooking class today, I am so lucky to have such a lovely group . It is a social get together for us as well as making a layout along the way, and everyone putting their own spin on the example.

Today the layout we did was
Precious Memories 


My brother gave me a copy of this photo a few weeks ago and it is precious to me as it is a rare photo of us all together, it is just a shame my eldest brother is not in it, but I think he was taking the photo.
Love the bow plopped on top of my head. I am holding a very special doll here called Norma, which just happened to be given to me by my Godmother whose name is Norma. I thought my doll was called this because of my Godmother. But speaking to her the other night I mentioned this and she said no the  doll actually came with the name Norma! My Mum made it into a Bride doll for my bed eventually and I still have her today , not on my bed though but tucked away for a grandchild one day perhaps.



The gorgeous buttons are from Craftqueen as is the satin seam binding. I also got the Manor House Die cut from Craftqueen.
The pretty Sparkly pink Washi from StudioFourteen40 and some fussy cutting going on.
Gorgeous washi from Craftqueen

As I was doing the layout the thought came to me , that even though we may not see each other all the time ~ A family photo reminds us that no matter what we will always be connected ~ So I journalled this along the bottom of my layout.

Thanks for calling by
Love and Peace
Mary
