Hello everyone, wow it is freezing here, been 0 degrees all day, wow I wore a scarf today and have a pair of socks and slippers on, wow it is so not a pretty site, I forgot to mention the pink flanellette pj's with bears on and a hot pink dressing gown....but I am warm.
I just created the first layout for me, I loved this gorgeous paper and have had some Little Yellow Bicycle transparency overlays for ages so I cut up the words and they read, I will love you today, tomorrow and forever and the pic is of Nate sitting on a openair mini train at the Ipswich Museum, it is one of my favourites of him.
My friend Teru, who I got to meet being on Design Dollies site, asked me to share the page in the Scrapbook Creations this month, so Teru here it is my friend, I hope you like it, if you get a chance, click on his name, he is so young, lives in Sweeden - and is such a talented scrapbooker, he does his pages in 8" x 8" size, and whilst your their, check out his two gorgeous boys (well they are real to him and you know what I have come to know them as real little boys also).
The bottom layout is really old, but I thought I might share it with you, probably about 18 months ago, it is one of the ones I feel comfortable sharing as some are just shocking to me now days. I still love the memories in the old ones but well - you may know what I am trying to say....
Just a few things to share, Nate had his first horse ride (I didn't have my camera can you believe), went to the Handmade markets on Saturday and bought my farm produce and homemade cakes & Monday Nate rode his bike while I walked the dogs. Well that's about all the news, will pop over to your blogs and see what you have all been up to. Love to you all dear friends, Love Melxx

Awesome layouts as usual! The older one is brilliant too, by the way. I bought the ideas book online here http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/scrapbook-ideas-book-2/
the shipping was really quick - only took a week to get to me! I saw volume 1 in a newsagent near my house but am thinking it will probably be awhile before volume 2 will be on the shelf. It's a really great mag - so well put together and has heaps of inspiration in it. Oh, the layout in the book is a pic of Asher ;)
I'm so happy you joined the Nook. The message boards are a wonderful place, so welcoming - I look forward to seeing you over there! You'll also get exclusives by being a member. You have made the right choice Mel!!! I'm organising your $25 credit as soon as I figure out how to do it ;)
wow Mel,you are keen getting out your old layout to show.... but it is quite cool and wouldnt notice it really being an older one.. I remember when i was still living up north and just into scrapping and saw those letters which i loved.. they were chipboard letters.. I could not wait to get my hands on some.. so til then i cut some out..!!! OMG random! Love your first layout especially.. Looove that paper.
Aww, thanks for the kind words... X3 (and of course the boys are real, not like they're invisible lol XD)
And yay, I get to see your feature in the mag! I'm sure more people were curious as well~ Looks awesome, and so does your new creations!
I'd love to have some cold here, it isn't too fun being sweaty n' packing boxes and cleaning while the sky's blue, sun is bright and I can walk to the beach in 5mins... but can't 'cause gotta get all this done... Ah well... =/
Wish you a happy scrappy day!
WoW, Mel, these are fabulous! ALL magazine-worthy ... submit 'em!!
We're hot here ... but then again, it's always warm here. Wish I could send you some "warm!"
Off to check out your friend, Teru. Stay well ... sending hugs!

Hi, Sweet friend!!
Just wanted to wish you and Nate a wonderful weekend!!
Hope you both have a blessed one!
Love & hugs to you both!!
thanks for that wonderful comment in my blog, it warms my heart :-) i've been thinking about writing in english as well, so if you visit my blog again, it will be possible for you (and hopefully others as well) to understand the text. About that LO you commented, it's about our hopes for our children's future. About never giving up and about being good to others - and to always follow their dreams. It's only the journaling that I have printed out on my pc. xx - Marie
