Hello Everyone,
Happy Wednesday! Happy WOYWW too.
It's sad but sometimes I have to close the blinds and shut out the sunshine to work on a scrap layout. Here the last two I put together.
Materials from Echo Park's Welcome Baby Boy collection from 2021. If I remember correctly the collection was purchased from The Mad Scrapper, based here in Scotland.
In complete contrast, this is one for the Family History album. The photo is of my mother and stepfather visiting my great-grandmother, Nana, in hospital on their wedding day in 1969. Nana had fallen, breaking a hip, while running to catch a bus. She was in her early nineties at the time! It's not the best of photos but the only one I've got. So few photos have survived from those years.

Materials from Ella Bonella's Family Blues Kit. Ella Bonella can be found on Facebook.
Most mornings I note what the temperature is for the day in my journal. Recently, it's been in the low teens - typically 11-15 degrees Celsius . This morning it's only 8 degrees, despite the sun shining. Not only that, but the reports says it feels like 6 degrees. That's cold!
My plan for the coming week is to clean them up, split plants where needed and repot and, hopefully, give them new life. 
It wouldn't be a garden report without a shot of the undergardener!
Fortunately, it usually warms up enough for me to spend a wee bit of time pottering in the garden. I'm still having to take it easy but have managed to cut back the brambles up at the back of the garden. They were on a mission to take over completely but I believe I have tamed the beast!
As well as that, I've been rescuing the many pots of plants scattered front and back. All brought from the last garden but completely neglected. They don't just have plants in them, they have weeds. Lots of weeds.
And finally,
TThis is so true!
That's it for this week. Apologies once again if I didn't leave a comment on your post. I'm still not a hundred percent fit so having to rest often. It's a pain but it's life.
To see many more WOYWWer's desks, and admire their work, pop over to Sarah's Craft Shed. Indeed, why not join in the fun and let us see what's on your desk this Wednesday. They are a very welcoming bunch of crafters.
Take care everyone.

Lovely pages, Freddie is such a cute baby! I can only dream of those temps right now, we were at -5°C this morning. Even Inky refused to go out! We have a lovely sunny day today, but very decieving!❄️ I won't be getting into the garden for another month or so🙁 Enjoy! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #17
Freddie looks lovely asleep there. Lucky you and lucky him having a G-gran who does beautiful `LO's featuring him and his siblings.
How precious is that photo of your G-gran, such a wonderful way of honouring her and the family.
Love the photo of the under gardener, and the cartoon says it all.
Hugs, Neet 7 xx

Happy WOYWW! Susan #6
What fabulous layouts of completely different generations Elizabeth. Glad you are able to get a little gardening done - don't overdo it though. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
Resting is key Elizabeth, and if there’s sun, rest in it, be it a blob through the window or bundled up in the garden! I do agree, some days may look glorious but bitingly chilly unless under glass! Absolutely love your LOs, bless Freddie, he looks very little, I’ve quite forgotten what newborn really is! Lovely arrangement around his photo, what a great use of that collection. And taking of great, golly your family album will be an absolutely priceless treasure, no matter the brilliance of the photography, I think it’s wonderful that you aren’t leaving these gems in rubber banded bundles to disappear into the attics and shoeboxes!
You’ve had a busy week in the garden and I love your supervising under- gardener! Freddie looks very cute in your lovelyLOs
Hug ave a good week

Both pages are adorable Elizabeth, especially the baby one. As for blinds I have just got a blackout one for my south facing bedroom/craft corner as it just gets too hot in here. Irony is I shut out the sun and put my SAD light on! Hope you are feeling stronger soon. Hugs BJ#12
Oh but your scrapbook pages are so lovely! I wish I had a passion for gardening, as ours needs some work for sure. Having said that, the pros have managed to get the wisteria looking amazing for the first time since we bought this house. It only took like 6 years... Poppy relapsed so a very very late Happy WOYWW!

Hello Mary Anne, I'm so sorry to hear about Poppy's relapse. Here's hoping the antibiotics do clear it up this time. I'm not participating in WOYWW today - too much going on at the moment - but hope to be back again next week. However, I will be thinking of Poppy and wishing her well again. Meow greetings from Silver to her too.
