More Than Words Challenge ~ I will leave a light on ~ Universe

Hello ! I don't blog much these days, but I came across the More Than Words Challenge and thought hmmm thats a interesting challenge.

https://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com/2020/10/october-2020-main-challenge-night-no.html?m=1

The Challenge being Night and No flowers. 

I had no idea what I would do and then straight after I saw a quote on Facebook "I will leave a light on " ~ Universe ( I liked it )

I used a photo I took driving home from my  daughters  then home one night, as I came to the top of the hill the moon was shining through the clouds , shining over the town. I was compelled to pull over and take a photo & this is how my layout evolved.

Thank you for calling by, I really appreciate if you take the time to leave a comment.

The Duomo Florence ~ Archiscraps June Challenge

Hello !
Today I am popping in to share my layout for the challenge at Archiscraps which is to use a dome

This is my take , the Duomo Florence 2008

I have added our train tickets  from Poggibonsi Tuscany to Florence . We were staying in a Tuscan Villa and caught the train into Florence for the day. I loved seeing the Duomo from the train as we arrive in Florence.

I have also added a Map of Florence. 

We did quite a lot ,seeing we were only there for the day. We went to the Uffizi Gallery and saw Botticelli's The Birth of Venus painting and at the Galleria Dell ' Accademina Michelangelo's David.
The Pont Vecchio we rushed over it to catch the train home, just making it ! King Neptunes Fountain and the Golden Doors , so many wonderful sites to see and take in.

Summer Dreaming ~ Scrap Challenge Yourself

Hello ! Finally I am getting around to posting my layout for the new Challenge at Scrap Challenge Yourself , which is.....

as it is winter here in Australia I am definatley dreaming of warmer days. To help me get to sleep at night and to hope to one day make the dream come true I think of going to a Greek Island (I'm thinking Paros )

My layout is me on the Island of Patmos in 2008. We spent 10 wonderful days there.We have friends from Patmos and they still have a house there, which they kindly offered for us to stay in. Their relatives that still live on the Island were so kind to us, and because of their hospitality the memories will always hold a special place in our hearts.

I really think I should have be born on a Greek Island or a Tuscan Villiage. Either would be fine by me. 

Thank you for calling by , I really appreciate any comments.
