Big sister...




Time really does fly: Oliver starts nursery on Monday and he's eight months old on Friday! He had his second visit this afternoon so I came home and made the most of some time alone and knocked out a layout.

This is a photo of Evie and I on the afternoon before Oliver was born later that night. Used some old papers and Thickers as well as some new tickets and tape for my Dymo. A bit of handstitching down the middle of the circles of paper, a few rub-ons and some hand journaling to finish it off.

The long title reads: 'Who would have thought that in only eight hours time you would be a big sister!'

Journaling reads: 'Evie and Mummy in the paddling pool trying to keep cool on one of the hottest days of the year. A couple of hours later, I went into labour. This is the last picture of us just being us.'
