Scrapbooking the story: Go on, put it on your head

Hello, hello.

Apart from cake-eating and wine-drinking, are there any other rituals you and your friends act out over and over again when you get together?

A ritual such as ... say ... something like ... putting things on your head while someone takes a photo ...? No?

Just us then?

Personally, I blame HannahBanana whose personal fondness for head adornments seems to have infected us all:  

In this instance I'm wearing the ends of a reel of ribbon in the style of Minnie Mouse:

And here I am again rather fetchingly modelling fish-shaped chipboard door hangers:

But it's not just me:

No, we're all guilty of it. Having looked through my albums I've found evidence of the following items being placed on various heads:

• bunny ears;
• a cat's eye mask;
• a ribbon wreath;
• a polystyrene wreath;
• a paper tea-cup;
• a large fake flower;
• an apron;
• a large Halloween bat decoration;
• an inflatable pumpkin;
• a bicycle light;
• a pop-up bin ...and ...

... one of my all time favourites: Hannah wearing a clock ... in an aisle of IKEA. 

But, from that trawl through my albums I've come to realise that there's another sub-class of ritual going on too ... it's not just a simple case of putting things on our heads ...

No... it's other body parts too. There are just as many photos of us with things:

• over our eyes;
• in our eyes - like monocles;
• hanging from ears;
• over our mouths;
• over our top lips - like a moustache and over ...well, let's just call them 'other' body parts ... and leave it at that shall we?

But that's all for another layout, another day.

I tweaked my page elements to fit with one of Shimelle's 'National Scrapbooking Day challenges. Challenge 2 was to create a triangle of features - which I did by repeating snippets of colour 3 times across the page.
