Shiny Happy People

Okay, firstly, my friend has been to the Hospital today, and they are very pleased with her progress. They think that they removed all of the cancer, and don't want to see her for another 3 months! What an enormously, gigantic, monstrously Huge relief!

Now, by popular demand, a scrapbook layout!


On the way back from our holiday, Molly and I stopped off to visit with Chrissie. We had a brilliant afternoon, she and her gorgeous daughter took us out for ice creams (quite indescribably wondrous Joe's ice cream, frankly if you haven't tasted it, you haven't lived: think 'frozen condensed milk' and you're about there!), and then on to the beach. Being the talented Scrapper that she is, Chrissie took some great photos, and e:mailed them to me. Being the grateful friend that I am, I scrapped them!

So, here they are, the shiny happy girls, having an absolute blast on the beach. We did tell them 'just paddling only', but I think they developed some sort of Paediatric Hearing Disorder at that point, and nothing short of full immersion was going to please them. Molly then had to travel home from Wales wearing clothes belonging to a three year old: but you know, not that many people noticed that her clothes didn't meet in the middle when we stopped at the Services!

I tried to do all sorts of clever things with this page, as you can see: some of it worked, some of it didn't.(Believe me, it's when I try to be clever that I usually end up in trouble). I do think I went ever so slightly overboard with the gold embossing powder: and not quite the look I had envisaged: but hey, it was fun. Come to mention it, those terribly inventive little embellies that I made with cork furniture protectors and gold ink have gone rather, frankly, green: but I still like the overall effect.

Just goes to show that when you start with such a fabulous photo, even the most inept Scrapper can make a nice page. Thanks Chrissie!!
