I have so many stories to tell about Uncle Dave - but fewer than half a dozen photos of him. Maybe I have a goal for 2012 - to create an album just about him. TFL

 

Journaling

Uncle Dave was the youngest of my mother's 3 brothers. He loved two things in life - films and music. His much loved record collection introduced me to big bands and classical music - the things I still love today. His knowledge of film was remarkable. He would never leave the cinema until he had read all the credits.

Dave's artistic side showed in immaculate signwriting which he did for people in the village. But he was a perfectionist so people learned not to ask for anything in a hurry.

Dave was eccentric, pedantic, cantankerous and loud. but he was held in great affection by those who knew him.

He sounds like quite a character! I love adjectives tucked in among the embellishments and photos. Beautiful job!

It was fun reading about your Uncle Dave! And I think your tribute layout to him would surely make him smile! So very nicely done! I too especially like the adjectives and how you layed everything out on the page. Wonderful colors too!

Hilary this is lovely, muted and masculine yet fun and outgoing at the same time - kind of like Uncle Dave I guess... your journalling is wonderful and that photo works so beautifully - I feel like I can see those sides to his personality in his face... love the black ribbon against the nature too :-)
