I forgot I had this one to share, its this weeks ‘Speshal Challenge’

This was a planned LO for my BoM. I had no idea how I was going to scrap this but last night as I was rifling through my new stocks I found this K & Co paper I had bought at Craft Heaven. I cut out the bits I liked and added them to this inked and roughed up 8 1/2 by 11 page. The tape measure strip is 7 Gypsies. Brackets are BG hardware and the alpha is DannyO, a set I won from ATDML during Bonanza. I tore a bit of paper from an old school jotter and gave it the TH distressed ink ‘Old Paper’ treatment.

It reads:

Old favourite fleece

You kept me warm

You felt safe

You travelled everywhere

You were my compainion for many years

I shall miss you *sniff*

RIP 2006

I love(ed) this fleece, it was way past its sell by date a long time ago but I just could not let it go. A few weeks ago while shopping at McArthur Glen in Livingston, I was really cold and had no jacket. I went into the Papermill (as you do) for a browse and Andrew went into Trespass, I think it was. I asked him to pick me a new fleece if he saw one he thought would be ok. I am now the owner of a fluffy lilac fleece but this old favourite stills hangs by the door! Will it ever make the fabric recycling box?

These challenges I love, I would never do stuff like this normally but its like a license to do anything and my only hope is that whomever ends up with my ‘Book of Me’ understands I was not really a complete LOON!
