well heres a total papercrafts one I did, dont feint its a christmas one.

Its back in the days when Christmas was good, we all lived nearby and spent the time together with presents and being jolly, it was before the credit crunch and of course we still had Ken and Twiz. it was 1997 but seems so far removed now it might as well be 1897

Ken always wore his bright Christmas waistcoat, made for him by Patty. Here he is making the sign of the cross against my Christmas present (which was very good incidentally). Twiz was able to finally stop moaning about his brothers nicking his scalextrix set when I bought him his own. it was a pain in the neck over the dining room floor for the next 4 years!

Great double page Maria, and it's so good to know that you can do this
after 7 months. Double nostalgic for you and Patty.

Super pages Maria, and I agree that it is lovely that you have been able to scrap these pics! I must get back into the habit of doubles again too.

Super Mia ... you are right, seems eons ago, but you will be pleased to hear that the famous waistcoat with its jingling bells is still tucked in my wardrobe and I smile every time I look at it. He was SO proud of it!! Good, good girl for scrapping those photos and oh, how I remember how horrified Kenny was at your Mrs Thatcher book!!

LOL at the milk snatcher.
It's good to look back at happy days.
He's a nice old santa in the corner too.
