I'd love to see your layout in the gallery this week.

 

I don't usually work with small photos, so found this sketch a challenge, 

but I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Our twin Grandsons are a delight to have around.

Every time they come we get stoked up on endorphins;

they are great fun.

The orange paper is from an older collection by Echo Park, 

For the record, "Borders"

JOURNAL

I used the inspiration word "Place" in the journalling and talked about their feelings at our place.

The journalling reads:-

Your Mummy and Daddy like to give you time apart from each other, so that you have individual attention from them and from us.  Sometimes this means you feel territorial about the toys at our place.

It’s amusing watching you both trying to play with two things at once, whilst hiding a third thing behind your back and warding off any take over tactics with a glare.  If a fierce look doesn’t repel the interloper, sometimes rough justice is dispensed and retaliation is needed.

Fortunately after a short time, when the ground rules have been re-established, harmony reigns and you quite happily sit still when I get the camera out.  Here we have signs of a rapprochement.  8 April 2014   Love Granny
