Today we ate apple shortcake in memory of Nana and Grandad. Nana’s apple shortcake was the best … mine isn’t quite as good … but I use her recipe, so it’s as close as I can get. Maybe it’s that I convert ounces to grams … or maybe it’s that I use a mixer instead of my hand like I remember her doing … I made sure I used cold apple like her recipe says this time … maybe when I grow up to be a Nana I’ll have it sorted!
Today is/or would be Nana’s birthday and also the day Grandad died … so it’s a good day to eat shortcake and remember.
Prima … this is my ‘build a page’ layout for October.
This is my cousin Karen’s sweet baby … she lives in Melbourne.
Cute huh?
And new Basic Grey …
So maybe I need to start a scrapbook album for Siena!

I think using your Nana’s special recipe is a lovely way to remember her and your Grandad. My Grandma made a similar apple shortcake and like you I am yet to perfect her recipe!
Beautiful layouts … your cousin’s little girl is very cute indeed. I think an album just for her sounds like a great idea!
Gorgeous layouts – both of them … and yep, definitely cute.
I have fond memories of apple shortcake that my Nana made and my MIL makes a super duper yummy shortcake as well – not something that I have tried to make myself.
Super layouts as always Bev – your apple shortcake looks declicious – what a lovely way to remember your Nana and your Grandad.
Love the layouts – yeah for babies from Melbourne! My little niece is coming over for a visit tomorrow from Melbourne – the kids are so excited to be able to meet her!
Sounds like a great reason to eat shortcake – yes, mixing by hand makes a big difference. Very nice LOs there.
Nice!!
Yumm at the apple shortcake – I’ve never given it a go but it looks mighty tasty. Bet by the time you’re a nana, it’ll be darn near perfect!
Fantastic layouts Beverley. Love the way you are remembering your Nana and Grandad – food was such an important part of family life for that generation.
So wished I hadn’t chosen to look at your blog right now. I felt like eating and decided to distract myself with a little blog browsing!
Now about that apple shortcake…
Hi Bev,
Just caught up on your blog -wow what a lot of stuff you are sharing lately – awesome, awesome layouts – I love them all.
