This is page 10 of my smirk album. It is a photo of my daughter and friend who were going to a St Trinians themed party. It was a long time ago, but seems as if it was yesterday.

I found these card blanks in a drawer today and

decided they would suit some of my encaustics.

I was making some cards for Mothers day and thought that boys don't really "do" the usual hearts and flowers thing so I decided to try different approach just for fun.

I have received this award from my trimcraft friend Anne. thank you so much, Anne I will give some thought as to whom to pass it on to.

Received the new Whiff of Joy stamps yesterday. They are lovely stamps and I just had to have a play with them.

These pages for my once upon a time album are of my son and daughter,looking through the photos made me think how quickly the years have passed. My "baby" is going to be 30 this year.

This is the latest of my smirk pages. I am loving this range. Its so nice to be totally girlie for a change.
The girls are my daughter and niece. They will both be 30 this year so it was a long time ago.We have always lived a long way apart but the girls always got on very well and enjoyed every minute they spent together.

Once i had downloaded my pages there was no space for text. The pages below are the first in my new family album.Its a once upon a time album and I am using mostly the matching papers etc, but the Laura Ashley Connemara papers are a new idea to add some different flavour to the album.
As the name suggests its going to be mostly older photos and completely family orientated.

Just a quick post with the latest page in my girlie album.

Claire and her cousin Gayle. They are a lot older now but have always got on very well together.
