The first time Stephen's feet touched the sand, he was afraid and tip toed, so I found a picture in Ikea of a beach with two sets of footprints, looks like Stephen's and mine, so got that......

Also found a picture of a sea scene, with a pier and well me thinking

centre stage on the ma ntlepiece, my OH, lovely one of me and OH when we first met, one of me when I was 18 months old, one of my dad aged 2 with his brother, one of my dad aged 5 with his brother, one of my lovely Mum, a big one of my Dad on his retirement, a lovely picture on the wall of some kittens, all sleeping, one of my son in school uniform, and four of my best pal's grandchildren cos I don't have any!!

A very large picture of a beach scene in brown and cream.

Picks of my kids all at the age of 3 (taken at nursery) prefer them to school photos.

Picture of Mum & Dad on a kiddie ride (it was a train) still makes me laugh cos I took it at the age of 14 and my Dad got stuck on it. Can see them both laughing through their eyes aswell.

Me & OH on wedding day.

Still debating whether to do a family tree pic for the wall, but want a professional finish

in my hall, two pictures of my son's wedding and three water colour paintings

in my lounge - a picture of Pendyrus Male Choir [with OH in it] on an American tour, a set of pictures of my lovely OH doing his national service in Singapore, a photo of my great grandmother, a photo of me, my lovely mum and my sister, a picture of my Dad carving a lovely stick - a hobby of his

Wow! seems like you are all sentimenal like me, night folks XX..

Going to share a special picture with you, painted by my Son Stephen, who was fantastic at art, but had no career interest in it. At the foot of my stairs, I have in a mahogony frame, a picture of a vase of flowers, signed by my Son, to Mum, with love, I will treasure that picture forever.XX..

I have a print of Monet's Wheat Field, A cross stitch of a lady with a horse id made, a tapestry my mum made me of cats and numerous photos of my loved ones in the living room, some pebble and flower pictures my kids and myself made on the stairs, a dolphin scene in the bathroom, my bedroom a print of an angel and a print of a picture a friend painted for me.

The one that means the most to me is the picture I have on my desk of my mum as a small child she looks like an angel in it, will always treasure it.

i have so many pictures of my children my wedding, engagement, family, neices n nephews and my aunty i couldnt possible name them all but each are as special as each other
i also have a digital photo frame which conects to my laptop so i can change daily the pictures it flashes up usually of the days out with the children

On the walls I have a beautiful painting by my daughter of Glastonbury Tor, and a lovely cross-stitch picture, by my best friend, of a kitten on a branch with a full moon behind it - which lights up the tips of the kittens fur.

Dotted around on bookshelves are family photos.

yea, I have pictures that remind me, seems like lots of you have as well, lovely XX night XX...

In the living room I have a pretend pub sign with a line drawing of my grandad's head and the motto 'All Brains Fully Matured in the Wood' on in (ie he was regularly pickled!! LOL
It was painted by a friend, A Pollard, I believe when he was in te Navy during WWII (he came out of retirement) and has the names of his other 3 drinking buddies on it.
On the mantlepiece there is a lovely very small caricature of my daughters drawn by my youngest's now fiance for mothers day in 2002.
Also have a photo of the girls taken at nursery school and my grand daughter's first school photo - it's difficult to tell her and her mother apart at that age!!
Up the stairs I have framed old song sheets from the turn of the century up until WWII.
At the top of the stairs I have huge 'portrait' photographs, in original frames of 3 of my great grandparents, interspersed with photos of my gran and my other g grandparents.
