Falling asleep to the tap-tap-tap-tap of the typewriter. . .

I used to do that. A lot. My dad is a journalist, (i remember using the word journalist so very proudly whenever people ask me what does my dad do for a living), and, before the era of the computer, he used a typewriter. Often, he will work late into the night. . .

I miss those. . . tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-DING!!-zzzzziiipp!-tap-tap-tap :) One of my biggest regret was not 'saving' his typewriter. They're gone, tossed out when they moved house a few years ago, my dad hasn't been using them any longer anyway. Sad, but if not for my mom tossing things out, we would be sleeping on tons of unwanted junk! So I laugh and cry at the same time. *grin* (and oh, btw, I'm just like my mom, if you're looking for something over here and couldn't find it, they're probably gone, or be kept somewhere very safe, too safe until I can't remember where I kept hid it)

You know where all these are going, right? Yes, I scrapped about my dad. Let me tell you, scrapping about my dad, was HARD! Like I got so many things so say, but to find a way to put all that into writing is very, very close to impossible. Maybe that's because I seldom, almost never scrap about my parents? Well, I certainly am gonna try to create more layouts abt them.(dear self, please take note about this, okay?)



The one I look up to.
No matter how tall I grow.
(not that I'm growing any taller)
I love you, Papa.



I know I want to use the typewriter for a layout about him the moment I laid my eyes on it. That is part of Decor Notes overlay. Cut apart and layered with plain yellow paper.

That little circles paper is just delish, eh?



I seem to like yellow a lot lately. What does that mean anyway, I wonder? But I also talk a lot lately, but that doesn't mean anything other than I can't keep my mouth shut. LOL!





The two sections are both lifted off the cardstock, for no reason whatsoever. I just like seeing the little black pearls peeking through.

What else do I wanna blabber about? Ah!! Yes! I got my tree back, as you can see! LOL! Adrienne, I stuck them with blue tack. Plain ol' blue tack from the stationery store. You can see colour changes on the photo, yeah, i was moving the layout around, and trying to find the perfect angle for my close-ups. Guess now I know :)

Do you notice changes around here? Yes, I stepped down from Pencil Lines about a week ago. Nothing dramatic at all, and I'm glad Anna is so understanding! I will join them when I can though, so, no, they're not getting rid of me in totalness (whatever that is?!!)

Have a good day!!
