Yes it's me again, turning up intermittently, full of good intentions. Not had much time for crafting of any sort over the past couple of weeks.
But now my grandson Conor is in Afghanistan and I cannot sleep for thinking about him I thought, I will go a pay an early visit to
WOYWW.
Here are some photo's of the finished book I made for Conor to take with
him. I gave it to him just before he left. My idea was to produce a book/photo album that a Second World War soldier may have cobbled together. My family and friends thought it was fabulous, but they are not crafters of any sort.
I am quite pleased with it, a very personal creation made with so much love, there were tears shed on several occasions over the weeks. Conor was very touched astounded at the
secrecy there had been in the weeks leading up to his being deployed and
no one had let the cat out of the bag so to speak. The whole family
contributed with photo's and letters and even the youngest didn't say
anything to him about it.

| Finished Book and Bag. |
This is the first book I have ever made, it is far from prefect. But made with love and pride and filled with so many family hopes and good wishes it should keep him safe until he is home again in
April 2013.
