1972

Hello everybody, thanks for stopping by. I have a layout of my Mum today from a photo taken in 1972.

I have used Heidi Swapp papers - the pink paper came with a perforated addition that contained the three little frames on the page, an excellent idea I thought, and the bird and photo mat were cut from a second sheet of houndstooth pattern, love it.

That's a rub on, on the letter M and a wee bit of masking to stamp on the rectangular frame, was quite happy with the way they came out, need to try that again LOL!!


Mum made the dress she is wearing, very '70s. She was an excellent dressmaker, made most of her own clothes, mine too, during the 60s and 70s. At one stage she even made identical outfits for us - mother and daughter - but that's another story. After all it was the 70's - way cool!!


I remember a story from my childhood, one day when Dad came home from work, he was amazed to find 'Mum' riding a bike - what in heaven's name is Martha doing on Jane's bike? I can just imagine his expression!!

Of course, it wasn't Mum, it was me. But how was Dad to tell, I had on an identical outfit to one of Mum's, and how's a man to know!!LOL


Will need to do a page of us from back then, and you will see how identical we were, down to hair length and colour.


Miss you Mum.
