I have always wanted to do one of these. When Shayne told me earlier this year that there is an Ali Edwards tray kit on Cocoa Daisy I was quick to order a kit. This too became part of my stash;-D
Two weeks ago I decided to give it a bash. I want this to become part of my photo wall in the passage. I am so happy with how it is looking that I have ordered two more trays...I saw that Vicki Boutin and Iris Uy made beautiful trays using 7Gypsies Conservatory...so I ordered this line of paper and now I am looking forward to complete my photo wall by Christmas.
This first tray I wanted to use to celebrate the wonderful relationship I have with my darling husband and chose some of the favourite photos taken these past few years. I cannot imagine my life without him. We met and started dating when I was only 17 and have been together ever since...THAT IS MOST OF MY LIFE. Here is a few close ups:
This photo of me and my DH was taken in December 2007 by our son, Wynand. It was my favourite photo of us for quite some time.
Some of my happiest times are spent at the beach in Plettenberg Bay...here I always find peace and a calm...I believe that we are close to our Creator when we are close to nature.
The little photo in the corner was taken on our 30th wedding anniversary and the one in the centre was taken on Valentyns day this year.
I just love all the pretty wordart that Ali Edwards included int he kit. The photo of DH was also taken at Plettenberg Bay...Our Happy Place;-D
I bought a whole lot of picture frames in black and I can already see the final collection of photos on my wall. Combined with these printers trays it is going to be really special.

What a beautiful couple you are! I love the pictures and frames! And yes...I think you should start Thanksgiving there! We really do have so much to be thankful for. Have a wonderful rest of your week and week end!
