It sounds like you had a very different childhood than most of us. It's sounds adventurous to me, and I'm sure it enriched your life in many ways, but it sounds a bit scary and sad as well. The LO is beautiful, I especially love that doodled frame, it immediately caught my eye.
This is fascinating....you sure had a unique and experience-rich childhood! I Love the design of this page....nice vertical strips and offset heart with wonderful doodling. The clock is a nice touch~
OH MY GOSH!!! ROFL!!!!! Seriously!! I had to wear a dirndl klite to school for picture day when I was little too!! .....kids would ask me about my 'maid' outfit because of the little apron! LOL! ...well, anyways I think this page is so cute!! What a fun memory!
I love the journaling. The tough times have their place along with the good times. It is always refreshing to see these kinds of LOs. This is gorgeous. I love the angled heart and all of the doodling.
Love the way you used the heart on this one. Can't tell though, from the journaling, whether moving so much was a good thing or a bad thing for you. *HUG*
Oh my this is just great!! Love the school photo! Weren't you cute? I love the title and the clock and just all the pieces! Love the journaling too!! Very nice!!
Well done, Sue, this is great. I can tell that it is full of memories for you. Must have been hard, moving around so often. Good luck in the challenge, my friend! x
Sue my minimunchkin, this Lo is amazing. I love all the elements you put on here. It turned out really fantastic!!! I know exactly how you feel as my dad was in the Air Force. We were all over the place but the farthest I ever went was Hawaii where we lived for 3 years. Whenever my dad went over seas like to the phillipines we stayed in Florida. He was born in Florida. My mom, me and my brother were born in California, my sister in Hawaii. She's 9 years younger than me. We did live all over the u.s. though. He went to Alaska once but we stayed here then too. So I never got to learn any foreign languages but I know how you felt always being the 'new kid'. But hey, I bet it makes us pretty well rounded.
wow!!!! this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and what a great memory journal to go with it!! that must have been tough as a little----------and btw---your dress is just tooo cute---you might have not liked it--but i think it was cute!! great page my friend!!
This is a page done for my friend Patti Poo's school challenge for the Leopard Lounge Ladies.
I'm the one in the red Dirndl Dress a traditional dress for Germany. Oh thank you Mum for that..... The badge isn't a school one its my Dad's Army regiment, he was in the Signals.
Journalling: Doesn't this bring back memories Joy!
Have a very best lifelong friend who you have known for less than a few years. Have to explain that being born in Germany does not make you German. And no we didn't go to German schools, there were British schools on camp. Have forgotten how to speak more languages than most people ever learn. Haven't seen your best friend since the last time Dad was posted. Inexplicably have the urge to move to a new place every year for no reason at all. Keep bumping into people all over the world who know friends that you haven't seen in years. Left school or NAAFI frequently for bomb scares. Have siblings who were born in various foreign lands. Name schools in three countries on two continents when asked what senior school you attended. Never quite finished decorating your place because you knew you'd be moving soon. Start a major portion of your conversations with "when I was in. . . Tell everyone you are from a place that you haven't lived in since you were 3 years old. Find that the oldest friend you have is from your senior year of high school. Thought vacations meant going back to the UK to visit the grandparents. Wondered who your new best friend would be as you enroll in yet another school.
This was tough, and I guess I will try again but for now I can say I have a page done for my time at Grenville School Celle Germany
