Well, the holidays are over and its back to work tomorrow. A part of me is feeling flat at the prospect but in the scheme of things I need to remember there would be many people who love a job and can't find one so I must not complain. I am lucky that I do love what I do and get to be quite creative in how I run my classroom. Better than many jobs out there.
Today I had just enough time to finish a quick challenge piece for 'Scrap with attitude'.
this month it is a heritage piece. I can't really believe I have done two challenges in the same month and got them finished in time to lodge. Very proud of me!
The photo is of my step-grandmother Deedie. She was the only grandmother I ever knew as my real grandmother died before my eldest brother was born. Deedie was everything you could ever want in a grandma, a gorgeous Scottish accent, the kindest nature and always warm shortbread ready with a cuppa tea.
Little in stature but large in spirit. She met my Grandfather when he was in Britian. He had lost his wife while away and having met Deedie when he was billeted with her, he asked her if she would consider marrying him and helping him to raise 7 children. Amazingly she agreed and travelled all the way to Australia to a new and unknown life. But she need not have worried as she was such a lovely lady everyone feel in love with her and she became a very loved part of our family.
I hope you like it.
Regards
Angela
