Sketch Reveal at SOUS!

 

Welcome again.

My second post today!

 

It's another

Friday Sketch Reveal

 at

 Stuck On U Sketches.

 

With a wonderful sketch from

 our Nanne to play with.

 

Nanne's Sketch...

It's all about the paper for

me this week.

Because, that's all I have used

 on this layout.

Paper!

The great collection from

 Teresa Collins

"World Traveller"

Photo's from our trip to

Paris last year.

Yep.

The Statue of Liberty

 in

Paris.

A much smaller version than the

 one in New York Harbour.

Made at the same time

 as the French gift to

 the USA.

 

And a point of interest, the two statues

face each other across

 the oceans!

Some really exciting news to tell.

 

I made this layout before

 hubby and I decided

 to

 

GO TO NEW YORK!!!!!!

 

My life time ambition is finally

 to come true!

 

So, at the end of August,

 we are off to

 New York,

Philadelphia

and

Washington DC.

 

I have had an unnatural fascination

 with the States since I

was 12 years old.

The result of a school project.

 We were each given a country

 to study, and I was given

 the USA!

 

I completed the school project

 at the time, but was hooked!

 

I have studied the Revolution

 and the Civil War extensively,

for no other reason than

 self knowledge.

 

I cannot wait to stand in front of

 Abraham Lincoln in DC,

 though sadly won't have

 time to visit Gettysburg.

 

Independence Hall

in Philadelphia.

 

Not to mention Liberty

and Ground Zero.

 

I even have ancestors

 that went through

Ellis Island.

 

All so exciting

 

Any of my American Blogging

friends in those vicinities,

would love to meet for coffee.

 

So, in 4 weeks we are off.

It's only taken 40 years!

 

Now, back to today....

 

Head on over to the

Stuck On U Sketches Blog

 and see what my fellow DT girls

 have done with the sketch.

 

Then join in the challenge.

 

Prizes to be won every month.

 

See you soon.
