A PEEK INTO HISTORY

ANOTHER CASE READY TO SOLVE


here is how I solved the case 

'TIME'



 I used quite a large amount of Crackle medium on this page 
as I feel it connects with the age and history of the dwelling .
EVIDENCE
something that melts / I used crackle medium
string
metal/ brads
 shimmery/pearl brads
TESTIMONY 
A holiday Tradition...Old historic buildings fascinate me .
 I wonder and imagine what life was like for the people living there all those years ago.
this old historic home in Sorrento contains an open journal inside, 
with writings about the 'lady' of the house . 
She made everything beautiful
She believed the best in everybody.
She believed life was on her side. 
She forgave easily and loved freely.
She made the most of her life .

Why not Have a play and enjoy the process.

thanks for looking everyone
I just love the colors in this challenge 
thanks for dropping by and leaving me some love
I read and digest every word
big big hugz to each of you
Heather x

    I've been known to plan our trips OS based on what historic houses are open when...totally "get you" with this one:):):):) LOVE how you've used the crackle...I get too impatient for it to dry most of the time! Love your "time" word, how it's been altered, too:):):)

    Heather I love that you use photos 'not containing people', they leave such a lot to the imagination and it's lovely to look at all the detail you include on your pages.

    Oh I agree re the older buildings. We took the kids to Emu Bottom Homestead in Sunbury earlier in the year and they were just fascinated that a family lived there so so long ago. The gorgeous big fire places, heavy doors. And they talked about if for days with so many questions about their life (that we had to guess the answers too).
    And not surprisingly, you have showcased this gorgeous photo beautifully.

    Totally BEAUTIFUL as always Heather. I only wish I had the time to join in at CSI this week but I am way behind with all of my commitments!!! Sorry I haven't been calling in & commenting for a little while but I know you understand. Also thanks for you well wishes last week too. It means a lot to me. The little quote you told me is constantly in my mind. How true it is. "The deeper the love the deeper the grief". Thanks dear friend. Cheers Di xo
