Finally have a date for the funeral - 6th September. Gives me time to get my hair sorted and make arrangements for Max. It's not until the afternoon, so DH wants us to stay in a hotel overnight as he has sites to visit in Colchester and Ipswich. Saves him a journey or two. I will have to find myself something to do....craft shops anyone? I like Colchester but wasn't impressed with Ipswich on my one and only visit......since that was well over 20 years ago, it may have changed..hopefully.
I promised you a double LO and here it is:
You probably can't see but the football team and the photo with the mascot are from when he was on HMS Ark Royal. I know he went to Odessa to help the White Russians during the revolution but not much more sadly.
This a LO I made last night for week 3 of Deal or No Deal? I had to use either naked (or nekkid*) chipboard or Kraft paper on my LO:
I'm planning to do more scrapping over the long weekend. I have some photos of DS Nick and Vicky (from over the summer) to play with. :)
Sportswise...Button is currently running 3rd in the GP; it's only an hour and a quarter until the football (I cannot believe that L******l are top of the league); Indy car at 9:30 tonight.
Will I still be "Little Miss Sunshine" this evening?
*"nekkid" - southern USA pronunciation. I really am reading too many American novels.
And I leave you with another little gem from Pinterest:

Hi Sue, love your new LOs. I am sure you will find craft shops where you are going. Haven't been to Ipswich since I was a kid, my brother was at a boarding school there in a big stately home. Edidently didn't do him much good!
Have a good week, hugs, Valerie

Oh dear, I suspect you are Little Miss Grumpy tonight. Just heard the A*****l result :o(
On a brighter note, I love the colours of the 'sailor' LO's. Great photos too.
Giggling at the gem found on Pinterest!

What wonderful layouts!! I am so in love with them! I love the vintage pictures in the first one, but I also love the *nekked* one!!
So sorry to hear about this funeral you need to attend.
xxD
LOLOLOL!!!!!!!
Not for the funeral--gosh, no!
What made me chortle and then guffaw is that hysterically funny pinterest pic at the bottom of this post.
That is just too too rich for words!!!!!
Okay. Now tat I've got that over with. (erherm)
Your layouts are all special, but I suppose if I had to choose between those you've shown us this time, I'd go for the sailor ones. Your grandfather was a dandy of a looker in his uniform. And the way you've sensitively handled the ephemera you chose really makes it a lovely and interesting set of pages.
Nice!
Not "nekkid" here, just "au casual "
;)
