Give a Cheer
When I say this layout is nothing like I planned, I really mean it is NOTHING like I planned. I have been planning to do my first layout of my mum for ages and was waiting for the 'right' paper & time to scrap this photo. Well, I finally bought the paper and embellies & some prima flowers to suit and guess what.....not one of the items I bought for the layout are on this page!!!! I'm not sure why or what happened but once I started this layout, it seemed to take on a 'life of it's own'.
Even the title only came to me as I was finishing the layout and whilst there may not seem much to the title, it actually has a strong personal meaning to me.
It is thirteen years ago today since my mother passed away. This photo of my mum was taken in the 1950's. I am sad to say I had a difficult relationship with my mum to say the least. I wish I could say all our issues had been resolved before she went, but she died very suddenly & unexpectedly from a heart attack.
I have always thought my mum & I were as different as chalk & cheese. But when I look back & remember the scrapbooks my mum made in the 60's, the cards & envelopes she used to make ( and I am sorry to say I would cringe at), her love for animals, in particular wild birds, and surrounding herself with flowers wherever she could, I am so sorry that I have not been able to share these passions with my mum.
I have really tried to create a layout that I think my mum would have liked. I hope I don't sound conceited when I say I believe I succeeded. This is 'so my mum'.
TFL and thanks for allowing me to share my feelings.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
