Two pages in two days, have I got my mojo back – let’s hope so?  Here is my page for week 24 on the ukstampers weekly challenge.  The prompt was Wildlife and you had to include:

• do you like animals, do you have pets, what was the name of your first pet?
• if you were an animal what would you be?
• include some animal print on your page.

I couldn’t make up my mind about what animal I would rather be so I left that out and instead of including animal print I included animal prints – the faded mouse paw prints   (artistic license and all that!)
We have had many pets over the years and they include: tortoise, budgies, goldfish, dogs, cat, gerbils, rabbits, rats and dogs.  I loved them all and couldn’t contemplate not having some kind of pet and at the moment our dog is enough to cope with.  We also have plenty wildlife visitors to our garden.  The first pet I really remember is a cat called Sherry.  I used to dress her up as a Queen and sit her on a regal cushion and I sometimes would push her about in my toy pram which she didn’t seem to mind.
When I was young I would go out for walks in the meadows or woods and I was always bringing something back to either just  to show my mum or for her to ‘look after’.  This could be anything from baby frogs, voles, birds, sticklebacks, caterpillars, bees, bugs of all sorts.  Even dead things came back with me like sheep skulls, bird skeletons, snail shells, owl pellets and the like.  Boy was my mum thrilled!
