Our little darling Ellie has gone....


after weeks of medical treatment for which she had seemed to stump the vetinary profession, our beautiful little chocolate Point Siamese cat died at the weekend.

Ellie had been loosing weightand we though we would get her checked out, to which the vets removed her teeth as they suspected she had a painful gum disease. She seemed to get better until a few days later she developed a huge absess on her jaw which required daily antibiotics. Then after several weeks of treatment and still no improvement she failed desperately and was rushed to hospital. during this time they tested her for everything from cat AIDS to Leukemia and was clear of any disease.

Ellie was in hospital for five days while they had her on a drip for fluids and IV antibiotics. She then started to get well again and came back home to play with her partner Harvey and her kittens Lyla and Pixie.

Ellie was home for only a week then she stopped eating started to deteriorate again. She was so week she could hardly stand. We took her back to the vets who sent her off to hospital again. After few more tests they told us she had a form of cancer which her organs had failed.

we only had four years with Ellie and we miss her cuddles and affection. Her kittens continue to stroll around the house crying for her and searching her usual nesting places.

I made this layout to remember her by:

Stamperia Oriental Garden Album 10 x 12

 I love making mini books and albums at the moment.  This was an online class with Cal Summers from The Scrap Lab..  This design was originally called the Office Hours Book. its a long time since I made one so big, at 10 x 12 it only has three pages attached to the spine, but loads of layers and places for photos.  I haven't decided what photos to use for this one yet.  Walkthrough video here

Scrapbooking events and memorabilia

Can you remember back when we were allowed to go to concerts and events?  I remember when I was a teenager, I saved all my concert ticket stubs up. I had them from Status Quo and David Bowie and was quite proud of all the concerts I had been to.  Of course I wanted to keep these little tickets and I didn't know about scrapbooking then.  In my bedroom, I had an old Lloyd loom bedside cabinet in a muted pink. ( remember them) any way it had a glass top. So I carefully unscrewed the little brackets and arranged my tickets under the glass so they were safe and I could see them.  Unfortunately after yet another argument with my step mother, I left to live with my grandmother again. Only to find my stepmother had got rid of the Lloyd loom cabinet complete with my concert tickets. When my son started going to concerts, he came back from seeing Feeder and meeting Dave Grolsh with a signed copy of his ticket stup, a signed flyer and a signed guitar plectrum. He was made up. These items were

Sons scrapbook album finally completed

I stated this 9x9 scrapbook album. For my sons 21st birthday. It was supposed to show his first 21 years. So I dutifully added in the baby photos and journalled stories for him to read. But then work and life got in the way.  Then comes Covid-19 lockdown and a chance to clean out the cupboards in the bedrooms. Finding loads of photos and scrapbook items I was hooked on scrapbooking again. As he is now grown up with children of his own, I thought it best to finish the album and fill all the empty page slots. This double layout above recalled the time he was an extra in the Billy Elliot movie. His part was only briefly shown at the beginning outside the boxing gym.  just another layout of days spent with grandad growing up to 16. Hidden journalling tels the takes behind the tabs. it was harder photos the older he got. Must have been out more on the lash! and then he finds the love of his life... Then star
