WOYWW 227


At last I have made a start on the scrapbook for my Mum's 70th.  This is the first page showing my Grandparents wedding and Mum as a child with her older sister and her Mummy.  I have another page completed and a few more bits and pieces done, but Mum has decided to come up to visit on Thursday, so I don't think it will be anywhere near finished! Maybe I'll just give it to her anyway and add the other pages later.  I have spent ages looking through old photos but don't have any of myself as a baby - being the oldest, I seem to have lots of my younger brother and sister but none of myself, so I'll probably have to get some from Mum anyway.
I got my first 12 Christmas cards made on Saturday (see previous post) so I've really been busy this week.  Check out Julia's blog HERE to find out what everyone else has been up to.

    Hi Bernice, beautiful start to your mother's scrapbook. I'm sure she will be delighted to received it before it's completed - she may even have more fabulous photos to add to it, including some of yourself as a baby ... in practice there's often a lot more photos taken of the first born than of younger siblings. And the 12 Christmas cards are super ... I also like the decorated tin. Have a good week and happy WOYWW. Elizabeth x #41

    Such a lovely work desk you have to work on! Your mom's albulm is coming along lovely. I love the vintage look with those vintage photos and colors. I am chuckling as I am the oldest of 6 sibs. In our family there are TONS of pics of me, and the baby of the family has hardly any. They seemed to be too busy or something as the kids came along as the photos lessened after each of and the "baby" always points out there are no pics of her as a baby only school photos. So funny. Enjoy the time with your mom! Winnie#76

    Beautiful page, and love how the pictures are really getting the attention and that it's not drawn away by embellishments or the papers! I agree with Elizabeth, I'm the youngest of 4 girls and there are not as many photo's with only me on it as of the others or the oldest. So I took/got more pictures of all 4 of us. Again, beautiful page!

    Oh, she is going to LOVE that scrapbook, Bernice!! It is so pretty. I think that if you give it to her this week then she can have fun helping to choose the next lot of photos so it's even more joy to her :-)

    Hi Bernice,

    What a beautiful page. Hmmm, so your mum is coming for a visit - nothing like pressure. I think your idea of giving it to her now and then adding pages later is great. That way she'll have something to look at now and something to look forward to!

    Happy WOYWW
    Peace, Kay (19)

    Beautiful pages and the colours are perfect, so vintage. I only have 1 baby photo of me but my much younger brother has loads. I like to think that they couldn't take their eyes off me as I was so gorgeous, not even for enough time to fetch the camera!! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!! Hugs. Pam#37
