Leaving

I had a box of photos which I had sorted out as possibles for scrapbook layouts and the other night I got out my scrapbooks and photos to sort them out. I decided which to use and placed them in sleeves in the various scrapbooks. I used to feel rather overwhelmed by the amount of layouts to do and where to start so I now feel very organised. It means I can choose a page to do without wasting time sorting through pictures. There are more I want to print from the laptop but that's a job for another time,

So onto my layout which ha more photos than I would normally use on a page but I didn't want a double layout and I did want to use them all. They record the day I left Connexions which is the organisation which took over from the Careers Service. I had worked for those organisations for 22 years and was lucky enough to have my request for voluntary redundancy and early retirement granted. It meant going to work in HR at County Hall which is the head office of the County Council for 7 months. I hated it there but it was worth it in the end.

The photo of me with the flowers was taken in our conservatory. I had some lovely cards, a cake and presents including £75 to spend on craft supplies.
