Scrap Around the World - April

The Scrap Around the World challenge site has a few rules that I had forgotten when I loaded an 'off the page' piece a week or so ago. The first quote speaks volumes! I love the colour and butterflies so much I decided to complete a scrapbook page as well.  This photo was taken at our 5 yearly family photo shoot in June 2013; one of our daughter-in-laws, our only granddaughter and two of our grandsons just sitting and playing while my husband and our sons were having a group photo taken. I hadn't realised we were being photographed and was caught in a very relaxed moment. Relaxed and unguarded moments are rare for me; I am almost always very aware of what is happening around me, what people think of who I am and what I do; I am a perfectionist and need to be seen as perfect; one of my many faults and one I struggle to correct. I wish I could 'not over think it and let it go'. I love this photo, I love that it is me being a mother and being Nan without the concerns of who is watching and what they are thinking. 
Thank you for looking and any comments you may leave, best wishes.
