White with 1 (May Challenge) - Raspberry Wine

It was lovely to have a few hours to spare and pop over to WW1 May Challenge (Raspberry Wine).  As usual I had all kinds of problems photographing the page (white backgrounds always prove difficult for me).

The photo is a great favourite - it was taken the day before I flew to the USA in 2009. I had just returned from an overseas deployment to the Middle East - the holiday was a great chance to relax. I took my eldest girl along with me (her first overseas trip) and my little 'Hill Fairies' spent nearly three weeks home with Daddy (the world's best son-in-law).

Emi and Cait were showing me all sorts of tricks on the trampoline - so I grabbed my camera for a photo only to have Bree yell out 'Me too' and dive into the middle of her sisters.  Life is full of all kinds of blessings (if you take the time to look for them) but having grand-daughters is surely one of my greatest.


I had a lovely collection of suitably coloured papers and I'm mad about my La La Land zigzag die.  Papers are an assortment of Lily of the Valley (from the UK) and a small piece of Bazzill. The small white flowers are Prima.


It's difficult to see the lovely stitching finish on this die - some of the pieces are double matted to add dimension.  Thank you for taking the time to look.
