Take a Word Challenge..CHILDHOOD..

I've got in early for tomorrow's Challenge for Take a Word.

CHILDHOOD.

I've made two collages, the first is 'Ghosts in the Attic', and then

'Blowing Bubbles.'

Thank you for looking.

Happy Pictures..

These are some pictures taken last night of SIL John's Birthday Surprise Party.

Such a happy occasion, I think John smiled almost all evening.

I managed a picture with Ashton but Skyela was toddling about

and I couldn't catch her. No doubt she is on someone else's camera.

Granddaughter Rebecca made herself useful fetching and carrying

and I missed her too!

Freddie sat beside me and for the first time he'd been out

he really enjoyed it. 

Once I was seated, of course I didn't move so I was lucky they

came to me for a pic!

A Frosty Kiss..

 This is a picture I made this time last year I came across in my files.

I had only just got Photoshop when I made this but I still love

the sweet angels statue.

I've done a couple more pics with these lovely Chinese ceramics.

I'd love to have these in my collection!

Saturday morning and all's well! The sun is shining, lovely blue sky and no snow! It's still very cold but we expect that. I think I can mention it now.....tonight we are going to a Surprise party for my dear SIL's birthday, all arranged by my daughter Sally. It's in a local hotel and he thinks they are just going for a bar meal with their daughter. I'm looking forward to seeing his face when he walks in and sees all the family smiling at him. I'm taking my camera so maybe (!) I can get some piccies.

I know he won't have time to read this today (if he ever does LOL!) so I can post it.

I'm also looking forward to dressing up for a change and I don't care if I freeze!

How vain is that? LOL!

DW Blog Challenge..

This is the picture Kimmie gave for her

Digital Whisper Blog Challenge this week.

And this is my picture.

Happy Snow Day to you.

Music feeds my soul..

Following on from the the old song collage yesterday, I made this.

I told Annette I must have been born singing.

All my family were musical; mother, father, grandparents, uncles, aunts,

and cousins. My cousin Frederick has a piano just like the one above and

transports me to another world when he plays.

Both my children learned piano when young and Sally still

plays very well.

Yesterday I gave my beloved organ to a local charity

but I bought a baby grand a while ago which lives with my daughter

so I can always have a tinkle on that when I feel like it.

I love Oriental beauty. I've mentioned before I have a large collection of

Buddhas and also  a Famille Rose collection.

Yesterday while browsing I found these Chinese Shiwan ceramics.

Such delicate moulding and the colours are so pretty.

So I made this. Hope you like it.
