Hi! Yes, I have another post! I know, it's kind of a lot but I have to post before the deadlines. It's week 11 for TGF's Heart Journaling. This week's theme is Bloom & Grow. I thought of doing flowers but then found this quote online by Robert Browning about growing old together and of course I thought TGF's Grandparents set would be perfect.
Aren't they so super cute? I want to be a sweet grandma like that. I also used TGF's My House set for the homes in the background.
I used my kids' colored pencils to color them in. I kind of like the pencil look and seems easier to shade than with Copics though I'll have to work on the skin tone.
While I was working on this, it reminded me of my embarrassing moment of the week. I was at my daughter's friend's house and I saw his parents' wedding picture. It was dated 1991 and for some strange reason that I still don't really know, I thought my husband and I were married in 1991 also. So of course I told the mom, oh we were married then too. So she said wow, 20 years too? Then I thought really, 20 years? Hmmm, how come we didn't celebrate that? So I go home and I ask my hubby, have we been married 20 years? He's all quiet and then is like we didn't know each other 20 years ago. Oh because 1991 is when I graduated from high school! Not got married! Okay, you can all try to calculate how old I am now. Of course I had to clarify this to the other mom and so embarrassing that my brain had temporarily stopped working.
Thanks for reading!
