My 50th Birthday

I thought turning 50 it was a new chapter in my life. Little did I know it was going to be the most challenging time in my life. My daughter Rebecca arrived home from London, my daughter Simone was about to get married and life was wonderful. Things changed very quickly with sickness quickly controlling our family lives. Life now has changed dramatically, we have two beautiful grandsons, sickness and sorrow has left our lives and we are all cherishing the goods times ahead for us all. I look back on these photos and know times will be happy again.

Love Karenxx

Faces of Harvey

I've had this paper at home for almost 6 months trying to find the time to finish it. Finally I have created it. Harvey our grandson is now almost 1.5 years old and these photos were taken when he was around 6 months. He has this beautiful smile with his big chocolate brown eyes just like his daddy. He is a real charmer as well. Hope you enjoy it.
