Who Knew Layout


I stumbled across a toy mouse my Dad gave me for my 40th birthday. My husband had bought me a laptop for my birthday and when my parents asked what I wanted for my birthday, I said a mouse for my laptop. When they came out for cake and ice cream, my dad gave me this silly toy mouse that made me laugh. He was always doing something fun. I remember growing up and opening a coat for Christmas....(if you're old like me, you'll remember that the cool thing at the time was zip off sleeves) well, my dad had zipped off one of the sleeves and wrapped the coat. When I opened it, he pretended that he didn't know that one of the sleeves was missing. Anyway, now that he's gone I wanted to record that memory along with my thoughts of "Who Knew" that we didn't have that much more time with him and that silly toy mice would become a permanent fixture in my scraproom to remind me of him......

























I'm going to enter it into these challenges:
