I have an even messier desk…
and I only finally got round to finishing the LO tonight (Tuesday eve) …sorry its a rubbish photo of the LO …I actually like it in real but not sure about it in the photo. Its another using a grid method from the class
It is of my Mum and her twin brother ( same chap as in LO wk114) ... in 1982, on their 65th Birthday. She managed to make the journey to Norfolk for the first time, as he had not long moved, on her own, dragging her shopping trolley rather than carrying a case. …maybe she started the trend of cases on wheels lol.
I wasn’t invited as I had had a row with my uncle, 14 years before hand, and both of us were determined not to take the blame for it….sadly I don’t think we ever spoke again.
The sun did shine last Wednesday and for those who enjoy my historical trips, I shall be blogging my day out during the week.
...but as a taster ....this is what met me as I got off the bus
…and this is looking out to sea.
It was a great day out with DD …a proper mother and daughter day … but without any shops....and we strolled for about 3 miles along the coast, which is a long stroll for me...and enjoyed our coffee in The Walk Inn ... and later, in another village, our stop for a late lunch.
I have been researching the history of this village but the dates are so very different in every thing I read on the net, that it is quite hard to work out what is correct ….maybe I need a real book.
Take Care xx
PS I only got round to about 30 of you last week …somehow taking Wednesday out of the equation threw me totally and I never caught up ….will try to do better this week xx

You have an artist's eye for the colors that enhance your layouts.
Will look forward to photos of your outing.

Fab photos.

This LO looks lovely to me. and of course, I always enjoy your travels and trips. I will be back to visit later in the week, that's for sure. Have a great WOYWW. Gotta admit, that desk is pretty messy (grin)!
Love those photos - can't wait to see the rest of the day out.
great looking layout! Can't wait to hear the story about the view that got you off the bus. Love the angles on the buildings/road. thanks for sharing. Vickie
Your LO is gorgeous I love the colours and the emblishments it's just stunning. The photos are beautiful x
Lovely LO - really like the flowers with the stitching around the edge. Very elegant! Where is the place that you visited? Lots of cormorants there that's for sure. And...surely not...is that sunshine in Scotland I see. Blimey, that's a rare occurence in amidst all the rain you lot have had. Glad you made the most of it!! xx
7Your birthday memory piece is lovely! Your choice of embelishments brought out the colors in the photo.
Can't wait to see the pictures from the trip. It looks like an interesting little village.
That's a beautful LO Angie, great colours and papers. Looking forward to the trip out so I can get my Scottish fix!

Thanks for sharing your photos - looks like your "girls day out" was a huge success.
Love your LO and that is a great idea using the grids which I might try on my next (when?) artists journal.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #2
Love the LO, flowers are fab. Great photos, too. Wish I was on that see shore. :)
I like it! I it great that you have this photo to archive your mother's trip, even if you did not go along! I love a proper mother/ DD day! Especially the non shopping ones, as those are the ones they remember! Good for you on the long walk! Have a happy WOYWW! -Amanda
Lovely LO Angie.
Oh my...what a wonderful looking town and the beach too. I bet you had a great, relaxing time with your daughter! Lucky you!!!
Lovely book you are putting together, it will be a keepsake. Can't wait to see photos from the rest of the trip. Thanks for stopping by and leaving you kind comments.
Your desk looks really busy this week. And making a LO is hard working. I find out it's rather difficult.
And the photo's of your DD are great. Like to walk around in that village.

Hi Ange
Love all your pictures. At least your desk is messy with crafty stuff. Mine (well ours, but it's my mess) is just jobseeking stuff and notes about this and that. The crafty stuff is down the other end of the room, trying to be tidy, but not succeeding! Mother/daughter times are special, aren't they?!

Aww Angie, it’s so sad when arguments like that happen and it ends up splitting up the family. It’s probably the history that has made you feel unhappy with your LO but there’s nothing what so ever wrong with it. I think it’s a lovely photo.
Lol to mu mum and her shopping trolley!
Happy Crafting!
