Wild & wonderful & amazing

My childhood was wild & wonderful & amazing. I think. At least the bits I do remember. And these are possibly my favourite life moments. Eat, sleep, play. Repeat. I remember going to the supermarket with my grandfather in the afternoons to taste food in the aisles. And the pretty dresses my mother sewed me. And the purses I always carried. The bicycle with a basket. My red doll. What are your childhood memories like?

Here I was...in one of those dresses. And the mum-cut mushroom-like hair. (cue: laughter)

Some misting and some handstitching on those beautiful flowers (I love American Crafts)...pink ric rac (too lazy to stitch that portion...lol), journaling card: Studio Calico, felt piece: Tinkering Ink, resin sticker: Stemma, starburst stickers: EK Success and button.

"Imagine & believe" were words from an English teacher at school. She always said that we had to use our imaginations, dream big and believe that hard work will pay off. From time to time, I would forget and engage in a self-pity fest. What advice have you gotten that you still use today?

This layout features my second nephew, O, trying so hard to emulate his big brother to flash the "peace" sign. It was fun to watch and made me wonder if I was like that too, trying to copy my older brother's every move. I have certainly out-grown that! :)

This layout was inspired the sketch at Pile it On, the ad at Ad This & the catalyst at Creative Therapy.
*Edited* I won the challenge at Ad This! :) Pin It
