Summer is here
Summer when my children were growing up meant a annual visit to Granddad's with the country cousins. It meant swimming in the pool, trips to the beach , fishing , listening for the familar tune of Mr Whippy and the bell of the Baker van that came around the caravan park. They also liked to treck throught the little scrub track and over the creek to the servo for treats.They were good times
A2Z Scraplets current challenge is to reuse, recycle and repurpose ( always a good feeling to use up stash ) I used some netting and muslin on my layout. My three children along with their cousins are in the photo with their Grandad and Aunt. I thought the little Aloe Vera plant in the pot was apt, as Granddad used to grow Aloe Vera around his caravan. Oh and this PP I have had like FOREVER !
Next is the actual layout that I did for the challenge.
Believe in the Magic of the Season
For the challenge I used a ripped up doily on my layout and old thread as well as product packaging under my photo.
My Graddaughter and Daughter in law
Next is a layout of beautiful Boo
Boo girl is my eldest son's dog, but the whole family seems to have adopted her. We pop in and take her for walks (because she has HEAPS of energy ) .
She has got so big now and strong !
Isn't she beautiful . I haven't been able to get anothe fur baby after losing Scruffy after nearly 18 years , so I just love everyone else's dog :)

Oh I remember Mr Whippy! Your comments bring back such fond memories. Oh now I'm sounding old! Lol. What fabulous pages. I love them all. They all really show that you're recording great memories. Fantastic!
Oh yes the good old days when kids just hung out and were safe to walk around to the shop to grab an icecream... love the back ground paper and so good to use up something you have had like forever!!! and fabulous christmas page and loe your grand dog layout too.. and losing a pet is like losing a cherished family member and it is hard to make the decision to get another because you know that pain of losing them... and I hope you get more time just to scrap for you after being in so many design teams!!
