WOYWW #638 - More Oldies

Well desk is back to tidy state yet again, so pointless sharing really. I scrapped a few more of my oldies. First my Dad/Aubrey in his dashing days and out scrambling on his trial bike, probably back in the 60's before I was born.
Then there's me at my cousin Doug's Wedding age 5yrs. I'd taken a photo of the original photo but the original colours were much better so I just used both.









Then finally me with the animals age 5 and 6 or 7yrs. Pretty sure I saw a post here or elsewhere about monkey portraits which got me to reprint both of these. Who knows???

Just ordered 171 prints from Photobox, covering Jan to Jul this year. Been using photobox for over 13yrs now. So I'll be into 2021 next week Woohoo!

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #637 - Delving into Archives

On my desk are a few photos from the archives my cousin had shared on facebook recently. Also some from my old photo albums I'd got reprinted, two of me as a kid with monkeys and a parrot! And one of me at a cousin's wedding in 1969 which another cousin had passed to me at a funeral. Still pondering those...

Meanwhile I finished off my New Year's Eve page. 

I'd celebrated New Year around the globe on zoom 3 times. Starting at Kiribati at 10am 31-12-2020, then us at midnight then Baker Island at 12 noon 1-1-2021. 

I even remembered to use the numbers I'd cut out to decorate my zoom screen on my page.


Anyway not got around to choosing many let alone ordering more prints so I scrapped a couple of the archive photos of my Dad as a baby with his older sister back in the 1930's.

Feeling a bit sorry for myself as I hurt my back on Monday. Same as usual just doing something innocuous but it's been a while since I tweaked it last, and I had only just been thinking it had been OK for ages..... More fool me!

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #636 - End of 2020 in Sight

I'm finally onto my last page of photos for 2020 - New Year's Eve. Wanted to get it done for today but Wednesday crept up on me somewhat. So here's my desk this week with my pending layout laid out. 

I'll be at the choosing photos to get printed stage after this so I doubt much crafting will be done next week.

My other layouts leading up to New Year's Eve are:-

1) Husband sorting the downstairs Loo. We've only been here 21years so it was great to get shot of the turquoise at last.


2a) Our WOYWW Christmas Zoom Crop and the page is inspired by the cards I made that day too.

2b) My son's 22nd birthday

3) Christmas 2020

So that's 2020 scrapped - YAY.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #635 - Another 4 weeks then THIS happened!

 Nothing then 20 pages, 2 extras and a revamped album cover!


The hospital experience during a pandemic - certainly interesting. Nearly a year later now and oh so much better.


Finished 16th Album and moved on to my last gifted album. The cover theme needed revamping.


Cover sorted and on to the first page, nearing the end of 2020 at last.

I've skipped desk as it's as tidy as ever! 
Happy WOYWW Everyone.
