Oh, me too. In fact, some of my daughter's year went on a geography field trip and although I didn't send her I wanted to volunteer to go as a parent helper!

Many happy returns of the day, Geraldine! :bday

Here's my entry for the Aug 2014 Colour Challenge. I actually only used 2 of the colours on the palette - the brown and yellow, but luckily my photo picked up the other colours. And this was a lovely stroll back in time using old but yummy stash - just love it when I can do this...

WOW! These are totally amazing!

Another birthday I'm late for - so sorry. I hope you had a brilliant day!

Ooooh, Timou, I missed your special day. Hope you had a good one and enjoy Spain!

I'm so sorry to read this Ellen, my thoughts are with you right now and positive vibes are traveling up the M6 towards you.

Happy Birthday to one of our great friends and former Cheery-O, Ellen!! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2: Many happy returns of the day to you and I hope you're enjoying some of this amazing weather we're having.

Oh!!! This is just LOVELY!

That's wonderful news, Courtney - congratulations!

Woot woot! Happy birthday to you Rikki!

Many happy returns of the day, Sabine. I hope you've had a good one.

Oh I can really FEEL the emotion in your photo and I recognise the scenario totally. I, too, have moved my kids around a bit, only once to Asia but we stayed for some years. But this made the leaving harder still. Great page!

Oh my this is such a fabulous page. The torn frame is amazing - the perfect use for it. So symbolic, along with the subtle tears. Great page!!

Oh oh oh!! So sad, but beautifully scrapped. Love the creaminess with the b&w.

Such a sad story but how lovely that you thought to scrap this. A lovely tribute.

Oh oh oh oh oh! The pain written all over your DGD's face is so touching. Poor wee thing. Love the stark dark background and her out of bounds hairs. Very cool!

This would make me sad too. Actually, as I write, it is currently 30 degrees C in the UK and I'm sad because it's too darn hot!! Beautiful photo - love the processing you've done.

Oh, what a sad story, such a shame for you and little Mia.

Oooh, love your take on the challenge, and what a fabulous photo of you all.
