csi no.61 Title - Mum's Family This is my mum's family, her brother Chas, who lived in perth with his wife aunty minnie, niece louise, my aunty anne's daughter and her mum Nanna Wills. Who lived with my aunty annie until her death. I use to love the stories she would tell, i would keep then as my memory of her, i certainly do not miss the clip across the ears if i was cheeky,from her. I would always know where she was, in case i slipped up and give cheeek to my mum. Sadly Louise later died of cancer and aunty annie nursed her for the last few months of her life. We use to say that mum and aunty annie were twins, even though they weren't, because they look so mcuk alike. This is a tribute to them all. My Mum's Family

Scrap the Girls - March challenge --Title-- Scrapbook Retreat Here we are having a face mask, me Di and Felicity. Di and I went into cowes and found their local market, i found the face masks and decided to buy so ness can put it on us. This happened on the second day of our scrapbook retreat, we stayed on Phillip Island.We each get a list before hand to tell us what to bring, we share the cost of milk and coffee. During our stay there, we go op shopping, garage hunting and on the last day we go to the Purple Hen winery and enjoy a glass of wine and snacks. After this we all head back to the house and finish off any layouts, then we have a show and tell. Once everyone is done we start to pack up our cars to head for home. We always stay and help clean up the house then we all go our own way. I have used all the colours and a hand made element is the row of beads around the buttons, fidderly.
