Yeah it's raining!

Well it did rain for me here last weekend. … just what I hoped for… thus preventing that awful feeling of guilt and laziness which passes over me when I don’t go out into the garden but scrap instead.
I woke up to the rain and thankfully a glimmer of inspiration. As I am a slow scrapper I only created three 12x12’s over the weekend. I managed the DLO below and a single LO which have put on my ‘Glimpsing the Past’ blog. I find it hard to date the photo I used, of MIL’s mother. Any ideas? She died 1940 and would have been 40 in1933 so I think it may have been 1930ish but the blouse looks wrong as she wouldn’t have been in ‘up to the minute’ fashion and it doesn’t look like a late 20’s blouse to me. She lived in America but I feel that, as a fashion usually started in Europe it would appear a little later in the USA. Sorry for rambling but any feedback on date would be gratefully received.

THE TREE

I have been meaning to scrap these pics for ages. I followed the growth of this giant flower that burst forth from our tree last year. I have no idea what tree it is as I didn’t plant it but there are a lot of them flourishing in Fife even though they look exotic and in need of warmer climes.

Thanks for looking xx
