Believe! -You are the Gift that made all my Dreams come true! - OUAS Challenge Happy New Year

Over at Once Upon a Sketch the current challenge is to journal about the New Year.  What are your thoughts, hopes or wishes.

My journalling is hidden under the second heart which is hidden under the top heart.  I tied the hearts to the flourish so you can twist them round to reveal the title and the journalling which reads:-
 “Seeing in the New Year” A time to look forward!
When my children were young I would kiss their sleepy faces at 12 O’clock.
I had so many hopes and dreams for them for their future!  I’d sit by their beds and just gaze at them in wonder!"

The photo was actually taken while we were on holiday in Ostend, Belgium in 1973.  We took the children to a nightclub and they were so excited to be out so late. In Belgium the law was  more relaxed about children being there but it wasn't a seedy place. Lol. I had great fun making this LO but it took a long time for the inspiration to hit.  Just about made it for the deadline again!  Hope you like it and thank you in advance for any sweet comments you leave me.  I love them all. xxx

    Hi Jean. This is super sweet. Love the heart with the text on it.
    I imagine they were thrilled to be out that late, yes.
    In Findon Village, West Sussex where we lived for a couple of years we had a favourite pub, but they were quite strict about the kids being up near the bar!
    Thanks for playing along again. Good on you for making the deadline :-).

      fab LO jean and I too kissed the forehead of my 2 at 12 on New Years Day...

      but this year was to be different, OK my daughter moved out 18 months ago, but we still spoke on the hone after midnight..

      but for the first ever my son was in respite... it felt very weird not wishing him Happy New Year till 11am when I picked him up. But he had had a fab time with his friends, that I'm glad I didn't stop him going... trouble is, it's the letting go...

      hugs maria xx
