WOYWW#649 - One of those Moments.

Here's my desk earlier this week when everything just came together for a LO. I still managed 5 photos.

It was a moment when dies just jumped off the shelf begging to be used.



Then I did a simple page of 6 of hubby's landscapes. 

He is much more interested in the photos than what I do with the page, so he just got titles!
Earlier still I did a couple of pages where the colours were based on the month word (MAY) I had just cut from an old calendar.

I got to showcase all the lower case "h's" I have from my 16 Alphabet sets in the hearing test page.

Finally a Garden in May page with 9 photos no less. 

Then a tribute to a family friend's son who tragically died back in June at 21yrs. We live nextdoor to his Grandma and had known him since he was days old. He was 7 months younger than my son, so they grew up together. I met him first "over the wall" and last saw him when we all played badminton.  I'm still shedding tears for such a beautiful soul to leave us so soon.

"For Owen"


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

    I think the page you did for Owen was wonderful, a properly good tribute to him - too young to die, that’s so sad. I’m glad your crafting has helped.

    So sad to read about that young man. My friend buries her son on Monday, it is such a shame when these things happen.
    Your other LO's are wonderful, I like how your husband just get headings but as long as it showcases his photos I guess it is fine. Love the Foxy Lady LO, what a lovely idea.
    Hugs, Neet 3 xx

    Your layouts are beautiful, especially the one for Owen - what sad news - you've made a lovely tribute to him. You've just stirred some long ago memories of Box Hill - we used to go there as children quite often and I'd forgotten all about it until I saw your label. Your husband's photos are lovely.
    Hope your hand is on the mend and better than last week,

    It's always sad when someone so young dies whereas when someone has had a long and happy life it's easier to celebrate their leaving us. Bet you've got quite a collection of journals and great memories for the whole family. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x13x

    Hi BJ, thanks for your visit! Such a sad story, but a lovely page dedicated to Owen. Gone but not forgotten, he probably would have liked that. Your pages look great, and I especially like how you were able to uses all those "h's"! Have a great week, Lindart #27

    Very sorry to hear about your friend's son, BJ - how young he was, with so much life before him so tragically cut off. Very special to make a layout in his memory.

    Thank you for your comment - I'm glad you approve of my tidy-up!

    How is your hand recovering? I realise it's going to be a long slow job but I hope things are improved since last week.

    Happy WOYWW,

    OOh good for you, a very productive time! Like the use of all of your alphabet dies to say shhh, fun idea! Tragic about young Owen. Having a Aston close to his age just puts everything into higher perspective doesn’t it.
