Description:
MOC23_talking walls
From the point of view of my vain, ego-centric walls..

Journaling reads: "If people guess my age they say I look younger than my 55 years. It takes effort you know. Looks like these don’t come by chance. I went in for a ‘scrub and peel’ 16 years ago. The lady painstakingly peeled off all my paint. Days it took, sometimes using her fingernails to get obstinate bits off. Then almost as soon as she finished, the boss man decided my surface was too bumpy and that I was in need of a total facelift. My carefully paint-stripped Masonite came off and on went plasterboard. Effort, but worth it, now I am smooth skinned and loving life."

Supplies:
TLP winter wishes collab: all supplies (hello tag modified) except..
One little bird busy week: white paper
paislee-pressplateNo30 template
Just Jaimee & Mommyish year in review: glitter style

      Well Anne you were quicker on the uptake than me... I read right to the bottom of the journalling before realising it was about the walls... Colour me a bit dozy... Love the humour involved and i have decided now this will be my scraplift...

      Thankyou for your welcoming comments @MrsPeel . I may be geographically challenged - after I made the comment to @AnneofAlamo I went and looked at a map and realised that Australia is probably next door to America rather than across the other side of the world :) My mum was a geography teacher - don't tell her :) I haven't travelled - in case you can't guess! Thanks for your invite to the speed scrap - along with being geographically challenged I'm time zone challenged - but I'm pretty sure that's 5a.m here on a work day and I love you all, but not that much :)
