I have a plan

I loved all the ideas in Shimelle's second prompt today. I never use up the numbers in a page of alphabets except maybe to use in a date format so counting up things and making that the focus of the page is such a good idea and may be something I use in a layout to show more of our trip to Bath for our 30th anniversary.

But I also like the idea of using the alphabet within the block of journalling, and I think that this will work really well with the ideas I jotted down yesterday re advice for my children. I will have to re-write it a bit so that it fits in well but that doesn't matter because my writing was so illegible in places that it really needs a bit of work done on it before I even think of putting it on a page!

I shall leave you with a photo of something that I bought in town this morning. Look how shiny and new it is .... And compare it to the phone I spent most of my teenage years chatting on - how times change eh?

That was the page I liked best too, wasn't it lovely?

It's funny to think the kids wouldn't even know how to use a phone like this without being shown.

Oooh, I'd love an I-phone, I'm jealous! Love the older phone too though, it's very retro! Glad you're enjoying Shim's latest class, I hope you'll let us see the journaling once you've polished it! x

The phone we had when I was growing up was very like that one :-) But these days I'd much rather have an iPhone!!

Very cool. Maybe scrap the two different phone numbers, along with the years and other such numbers.

We had one of those phones given to us as a wedding present but ours is black. I can't wait for our lounge to be finishd and I can get out my treasures again.
