The first is another wedding layout, The Promise.
It uses lots of lace, tulle, feathers, beads etc from the actual wedding. I had it left over, sitting in a little plastic bag. Lots of meaning on this page. The journaling is actually my wedding vows :).
The next layout "Old Books" deals with my love of vintage books.
That pile of books is what my mum pulled from her garage one day when I was up at her house. All my "little golden books" from when I was a child. All her little picture books from when she was a child too. Plus, a stack of Enid Blyton books. Drool. I can't wait until Jamie doesn't try to pull apart books, so that we can graduate from board books and I can read some of these to him.
See you!

oh kathie, these are just devine! Both of them. I'm on the hunt for some Enid Blyton books to read to my boys now... going to check out the second hand book shop today and see if I have any luck.
Hi Kathie ,
I have bought this publication and it is a great book.I love all these old pictures and stuff,these layouts are great too.
I'm adoring those layouts. Very special.
I recently got my parents to dig up my old books too, and have been having a ball reading the Little Golden books to Diesel. Can't wait to graduate to Enid Blytons - they are my favourites!
Kathie, the books look fantastic, there really is something very special about older books, a real charm that the newer ones just dont have.
Wow beautiful LO's Kathie I totally love the old books layout! Stunning work.
I have heaps and heaps of book for my boys. I brought 200 before Owen was born ;)
Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy seeing more of your creations Kathie. These layouts are beautiful.
I really want to make a layout about the love my daughter has for books. She adores reading and now that she has been at school for a while she has a lot of confidence reading books by herself which is fantastic.
I have many fond memories of reading some of the Enid Blyton books when I was younger. Those stories are the best aren't they!
I hope your coping ok at work and your all healthy once again. Have a great week and take care. Love from Susan (smiles1965) at Scrapboxx
Those beautiful books bought back memories. Mum gave all ours away, sniff sniff. A gorgeous LO and I love those colours, with your favourite apple green. Thanks for the peak at the house layout layout (ha ha).

Great Layouts kathie. I got the book when it first came out....It didn't evn really have time to warm the shelf. I could tell there was 'Heart' in them. Makes me want to scrap a special wedding photo with some wedding memorabilia on it (I have not attempted this yet!!) I too can not wait until my kids are old enough, that I can select an old classic I had when I was a kid and read a chapter every night to them before bed. Special times.
