T for Twins

Hello again, here's my second entry for The Craft Barn Alpha Challenge letter T. Well I couldn't pass up the opportunity to show off my Twins. So I chose Twins for this entry. My twins Alan and Michael celebrated their 10th birthday yesterday, so I've included a couple of photos. We're on our holidays and had a fun day, decorating the caravan with balloons and banners, bubbles and water shooters and blowy noisy party things and presents, and the sun shined brightly all day.
Alan and Michael are two very special boys; imaginative, creative, clever, caring, funny and tall. Every day I count my blessings to have these two amazing boys, and then to have Samuel and Katie too, I must've done something right in life to have four very special children. Anyhow before I get all sentimental and the like I'll describe my pages.
I started off using acrylic paint to make a background using brushes, Calico circle stencil then lid tops, Lego, spatula for patterns. Some punched mini tags for the letter stickers, plastic letters for Twins word that I coloured with gold alcohol ink. Punched stars and buttons to finish off. I put my journalling inside a tag, painted to match the pages.
So there we have it, a special word for me.
My Alpha Challenge letter Y entry made the Craft Barn wall of fame, which was lovely. I've even brought my dictionary on holiday so I can carry on playing along whilst away.
Also still awaiting to hear from my candy winner from post below.
Happy crafting
Luv dawn
