Li'l Monkey

Well I have started my list of things to do in these Easter Holidays and I feel very chuffed with myself.

  • Garden shrubs butchered
  • Windows washed
  • Son's bedroom decorated
  • New stash played with
Not bad considering it's only Wednesday, though I did get some help from my lovely hubby.

But I look forward to the school holidays mostly because I have more time to play with my stash and do something creative.  This layout has been in my thoughts for a while, the photo is one I found while looking through old photos at my mums earlier this year.  One of the Monkey's is fake while, two are real.....it wouldn't be allowed now (and rightly so) but it must of been de-rigour of the British seaside in the seventies as I have seen and heard about similar photo's.  One such photo can be seen here on the lovely Sian's Blog.


As usual I have used bright colours, some even clash but I like clashing colours.  I think it works.  I hope I spelt the shortening of Little OK, let me know if I haven't but as usual I ran out of letters....t's this time. 


I will be back with more clashing colours soon.

  1. Oh, wow! You really do have a photo just like mine :) I think mine was taken either in Bristol Zoo or Longleat. Your bright colours really do set off the black and white photo perfectly. I love it.
