While I was making the tag I was enjoying thinking about my three 'boys' and how well they get on!
As you can see they enjoyed being together and even though they don't see each other every week they have outings together and it is always good to be with them and listen to the banter when we have family get togethers!
I am going to be in so much trouble now!!!!
The tag reminded me of the view from my kitchen window when they were younger, and although they didn't end up doing what they thought they would, I think they are enjoying what they do now!

I am doing my best to catch up with everyone but we are off for a couple of days in Edinburgh tomorrow so -apologies - I may still be a while!
Thanks for looking, Chris
Precious photos (full of memories I'm sure) of your darling boys!
ReplyDeleteThey seem to grow up so fast.
Your page turned out great with your super tag Chris and those words are just perfect too.

What a lovely post Chris. The tag looks great on your journal page. That is a lovely photo of your three sons when they were little. How wonderful that they are still good pals now that they are adults. A credit to you and your hubby growing a close and loving family. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteDon't they grow up so fast. Love the photos of your younger lads. Yes, you probably are in trouble, I would be. Great page, great quote. xox
ReplyDeleteI love how you've incorporated the tag into the page... and the possible future view of your boys made me smile!! I'm guessing they won't ever look quite like that!! Great photos from their childhood - I'm sure they'll forgive you. Nice play on words in the quote.

ReplyDeleteI so love it when you add that personal touch to your art. You may be in trouble with the boys, but you are NOT in trouble with us. Your art is always so much fun, and I'll miss you while you're away.
ReplyDeleteI just love your tag Chris and the fabulous image of the boys. You have used it so well on your journal page too
