Catching up at the Craft Den!

Desperate to craft, I have been inspired to complete 3 layouts I started at classes with Lynne at The Craft Den.
The 1st, we started last night, and I was determined to finish today....

The pic is of me aged 19 with my new baby sister aged 3 weeks, everybody say aaaaaahhhhh!

I now enjoy looking after her baby daughter!!! Where did those years go???
The second is my eldest and friend, aged 5, the day I walked them from Bakewell to Longstone along the Monsal Trail. We hadn't moved in yet so I was "bussing it" each day, with 2 5 year olds, from Sheffield......to Bakewell....then walking 3 miles...carrying stuff...cleaning the house out...then all the way back again....for 2 weeks!!! How nuts was I???

But the boys loved the adventure :D (mines the one with curls and cheesy grin :D)
The 3rd is a gorgeously simple layout, showing off a great photo I got one autumn of the leaves on a young oak tree.

They were just beautiful, and the colours on the papers were perfect for this pic!!
I'm rubish at remembering makes and names of papers, but if you ask Lynne I'm sure she'll know :D
Anyhoo!! Back to the craft desk......I owe Darcy at least 4 journal pages...and I haven't even started Christmas cards yet!!!
:D XXX
