Once Upon a Sketch

This is my take on the 15 March challenge.  I haven't stuck strictly to the sketch as I've moved the photo down the page a bit because it suited what I wanted to see on the page.
This is the first stick pin I've made and I love them, more on the way.  I used liquid pearls and some beautiful butterflies designed by Tara Orr.
The Manor House flowers are gorgeous to use, and now for the journalling.

I miss the little boy in you and yet, inevitably I know that we as parents must give our children the knowledge and the go-ahead to enter the world and learn their own life skills.
Remembering you at three or four years old seems like eons ago now that you’re 37 years old and ‘sometimes I still see you resembling a little boy with little boy moods and attitudes’. 
I still miss my little boy even though you now have four children of your own.
