Scavenger Hunt - Crossed, A Glimpse, Handwritten, Bliss & Grey

I had to take a break last week, but I'm back in the game this week. So here's my interpretations for SHS.

1. Crossed
Fingers crossed for sunny weather. My son was sick earlier in the week, then we get to the weekend and it's raining. So no playing outside, especially as all the recent rain has led to a whole heap of snakes hanging around my mum's place, Aargh!! But we still had fun indoors! 

2. A Glimpse
Pixel Lounge Warm Scratches texture applied
 I was searching through my mum's playroom (for the grand-kids) and I found my niece's jewelry box. I love how you get a glimpse of the ballerina in the mirror behind.

3. Handwritten
My 2econd Skin Old Paper 5 and Sarah Gardner Score textures applied
My Mormor's (maternal grandmother) handwritten letters are treasured by me. I love how they're in a cursive style that's immediately recognisable as her handwriting. 

4. Bliss
Processed with Paint the Moon Silver Spoon action and Isabelle Lafrance Make a Wish & Starry Night Overlays applied
 "If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you made me smile, I would have the whole night sky in the palm of my hand." ~ Unknown
My son is my bliss, he makes every little thing worthwhile and everything wonderful! 

5. Grey
A grey rainy day!

And for a completely different take on grey, I loved how this old engraved vase and actually my homemade reflector in the background gave a metallic grey feel to this photo.
Florabella Heirloom texture applied

Each and every photos is perfect...just beautiful! My handwritten photo is also about my grandmother's handwriting...I also can identify her handwriting immediately. A person's handwriting is like a snowflake - each one is unique and different. Thank you for sharing your wonderful captures!

Your pictures this week are fantastic. The crossed is so cute. Didn't our grandparents have such beatiful handwriting? I think penmanship is going to be something of the past.

Have a great week.
