My layout for the February moodboard for Challenge Yourself..I have used some very old papers for this layout of myself with our daughter on her 30th Birthday

Hi..I thought I would share the last layout I have done of me on a page.This was in August this year..I was still having Chemotherapy and my hubby had a stroke. I went to stay with my Daughter and when hubby came out of hospital he went to our daughters and I went to our eldest sons. This photo is in an apartment that the govt let them stay as there were very noisy train works opposite their house.so I wanted to scrap this for their daughter..We slept together in a King size bed and in the morning we took a few photos.

This is for the May Challenge ..Put your best face forward..So I have made this layout of the lovely day we first were able to catch up with one of our families after our long lockdown in Melbourne during Covid last year..We still couldn’t go further than 25 Kms from home so we met half way in a park..it was Nov 3rd Melbourne Cup Day…I’ve included a pic of me with our granddaughter wearing masks. It was a lovely day.

This is for Challenge Yourself March blog challenge…about who I am.I have  scrapped these pics before for our grandchildren but wanted to do one for me and thought this challenge would be perfect. I have written  I am a daughter..a wife .a mother an Auntie  ..a friend..a nurse..a photographer A breast cancer survivior. and hope to be again as 19 years later I have just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer for a second time…started chemotherapy last Friday for 6 months..I am also a survivor of Sexual Abuse at the hands of a Church Minister when I was a young Mum..still working on that one..but most of all I am blessed with my beautiful family ..children and grandchildren who I love dearly and I still have my faith in God

Layout for February Challengeyourself blog with the theme of love…Hubby and I at our youngest sons wedding in 2012

My layout for Scrap the Girls December challenge

My page for Challenge Yourself for December..As the challenge was anything goes I decided to document the Covid year for me..as I have scrapped pages for our grandkids to remember 2020 I thought why not one for me..We had 2 lockdowns in Melbourne.I had a corneal transplant in April (after it was cancelled in March…I have covered that plus my walks..my hubby helping me put a colour in my hair..my long hair (for me) and when I finally got to hairdressers..my birthday cake that my hubby turned up with on his walk…photos with grandkids when we finally caught  up with them..and a beach photo when we could go further than 25Kms to where our triplet grandchildren live..and who had morphed from babies to toddlers in the 4 months we didnt see them..and last but not least my scraproom where I spent most of my time in lockdown doing what I love…This page is not a work of art but a work of the heart. I must add that we had a lovely holiday in New Zealand Feb March just before the pandemic.

This page is for ChallengeYOUrself October mood baord of Autumn colours…I didnt have much in my stash for autumn colours so I came up with this…my 7th birthday..1956..Mum always got out a lovely cloth for the table for the cake and Dad came out with his brownie box camera…seeing these are coloured they would have been slides…which has got me thinking ..did he use his brownie for these..I will google it to find out

This is  for Challenge yourself September challenge about something you are thankful for..I couldn’t go past being thankful for my beautiful family..I felt quite emotional uploading this layout as we have hardly seen our family this year due to being lockdown for most of the year in Melbourne ..The family surprised me with  a lovely lunch at a restaurant and a bunch of 70 beautiful pink roses..also a brush with breast cancer 19 years ago and you appreciate the important things in your life. This is the whole family..3 children happily married..and 7 grandchildren including triplets that are now 15 months old/.

 

This layout is for the Challenge Yourself challenge for August. using a holiday theme.   I don’t scrap our holiday photos that often but when I saw this paper I had to scrap this photo from our New Zealand holiday in March that we managed to get in before the Corona virus stopped all the travel…Me and hubby on the right and my sister and her hubby on the left.
