The Old Album..

I made this collage a few weeks ago and it has been sitting in my computer. The children I Googled and coloured. Everything else comes from my stash and different scrapbooking kits I have had for years. I like to imagine opening the pages and seeing all the different family pictures from long ago.

My Grandmother had an old album, full of pretty postcards sent to her husband and from him to her while he was at sea. Reading them it felt like a collection of love letters and I could imagine them as young people missing each other. After she passed it went to my mother and I fondly thought it would eventually come to me. But no, my mother gave it to my niece who never knew either of them. When I asked if I could borrow it as I wanted to see it once more it had apparently been lost. I can tell you, I was heartbroken...........
