It's A Long Way To Tipperary.......





Another technique from my stencil class!  I created my own stencils using circle punches and used the colors from Watercolor Wonder DSP to create the design. The class suggested using colored pencils but I discovered the fine point of the SU Markers worked just fine and coordinated perfectly with the Watercolor Note Card!

We are celebrating today with a family luncheon because it is my parents' 69th wedding anniversary today.  My dad is no longer with us but my mom is so we still celebrate - grateful that they spent 59 years together.  My dad was a member of the Greatest Generation - drafted at 18 into the air force and trained to be an airplane mechanic. He spent most of the war stationed in England repairing planes that flew back from missions across the English channel.  And he must have spent some time in Yorkshire because he married my mother in Leeds, March 10, 1945.  He was 22 - she was 19....wow.....
