Today, 23 December is one year since my Dad passed away from pancreatic cancer. I honestly cant believe a year has passed and as they say time eases the pain. Dad and I had a strained relationship but his passing was so sudden and such a shock to me. We were just starting to mend our relationship and he was getting to know his beautiful grandchildren. Sometimes I honestly think I have seen him in the street and go to wave and then remember.

My brother, Mum and I with our families are having a special dinner tonight in his memory.

I am very much looking forward to a happier Christmas celebration this year. I really don't remember much from last year except feeling numb.

So here is to you Dad. I love You.

I love this project which I found through a site I reguarly visit called Photojojo. There are so many cool things in their shop that are on my enermous wish list.

Remember the old days of copying body parts on the photocopier? Well this is the modern version, you scan what is in your bag or pocket and your face. I love the idea. I am a digital scrapbooker which I do because I love to document life for myself, my children and future generations. My Dad passed away in December from cancer, he was a fantastic photographer and I have inherited all his photos. There are ones from the 1800's with nothing on them. No name, dates, places, nothing. It's very sad that I know nothing about my family ancestors. I would love to know quirky things like what they carried in their pocket/bag.

So here is my take.
