About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

Digital Scrapbook LayoutDescription
I have found a new favourite Designer. Rose Thorn from the Commons. This is the second of her kits I am using. The Fab Fifties.
I also happened to find a video online dated to 1957, that shows the Mornington tramcar going up and down High street in Dunedin, New Zealand in the year 1957. Mornington is the suburb located at the top of High Street and it is where my grandparents and my parents lived and grew up.
I also lived in Mornington while I was in high school and in the first few years after I left school, before I moved to Auckland. High street is a fairly steep and quite a long street to walk up and down, and I had to take the bus up and down that street every day between home and school.

Oh Wow; thank you so much for your kind words and for making such good use of my designs! I'm just sorry that it took me so long to discover it and comment! BTW - 1957 was the year I was born. :-)
I've been "missing" for a long while, unable to design any longer, nor make my own layouts :-(
As for many others, 2020 was a difficult, pandemic, financially devastating, year.
I hope that you continue to enjoy & make use of my older designs as I know not when I will be able to create anything new.
Hugs to you.
I love Rose's creations too! Love this layout; nice job documenting a slice of history!
Love this period piece.
