moving on


 
There may be a house move for me soon
and I'm trying to get organised.
 
My next place will be much, much smaller
so I have been culling as much as I can.
 
My old suitcase stores all my family tree notes
so it's practical and it can stay with me
but I felt it needed a little zing!


 
My new rule is not to bring any more stuff in to
the house and use what I already have so
I found an old tin of paint in the shed
called Fiesta which I seem
to remember buying as a vibrant orange.

 
A few quick coats of so called Fiesta later
but I thought the Fiesta was a fizzer.
 
I had some background paint from my
decorative painting days and set to with a couple 
of coats of Tigerlily (Jo Sonja)

 
Aaah now that's better!
 
 
Maybe having such a bright case will remind me
to work on my family tree more often.
 
Do you do Family Tree stuff?
Got any tips for me?
