Hello hello.
Before you settle in for the scrapbooking bit I should just apologise for the smell.
The smell of burnt sausages.
And terror.
It'll be from the burnt sausages [an explosion under the grill] ... and the terror [my hands shaking as I ran the flaming tray under the tap!]
So, yes, let's just pretend that it's barbecue season already shall we because ... despite the fact that the layout I've got to share features a close-up of 2 noses ...
... it actually has nothing to do with smell; neither eau de bonfire or otherwise! Rather it's about a tradition of taking a selfie of the pair of us soon after midnight, minutes into a brand New Year ... right after the 'first footing'.
BTW: is it still called a selfie if there's more than just yourself in it? Me+youfie? Usfie? anyway ... here's the layout:
- Do you take the same photo every year? Every month? Every day?!
- Maybe of your kids, or the garden, or maybe particular changing landscape throughout the year?
Thanks for stopping by today and again ... apologies for the smell ... let me just crack a window ...

What a super page :). Mind you, your opening paragraph already had me smiling! I really like your colour combinations and placings of all the different elements. (PS If you are going to scrap your life this year, might we get a layout on the sausages?)
ReplyDeletedelightful page and commentary! hope the sausage smell has wafted away. :)
ReplyDeleteI had to open the windows while reading your post and now I really can smell sausages, the neighbours are barbequing!
ReplyDeleteMy what lovely noses you have :) around here we call a selfie of more than one a groupie. Hoping it will catch on! Fab LO!
Oh your page is beautiful! And I actually love that first picture, as well as the first picture in the year idea! Can I steal that tradition from you? xoxo Lily
ReplyDeleteI am going to try and remember that idea for next year - or should I pick another significant date and start a tradition for then.... It is such a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI have no sense of smell anymore - my granddaughter gave me a virus and that's what it did, so the burnt sausage actually smells like lavendar floor polish to me
It's a lovely page and a tradition I am now wishing we had started many years ago!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tradition. There is a place, locally, with a huge fallen tree and I have many photos of Gracia and I sitting here. We try to pose in the same way to show how we have changed over the years.
