Morning everyone, hope you are having sunshiney weather where you are, we truly are lucky, it's the first day of Winter today and it is just glorious outside, and we get to pick up our new DVD player which was playing up and they have just replaced it for us. Nate just loves to watch a DVD each day, and Toy Story is the DVD of choice at the moment, and each day for the last week I have had to show him their is no DVD player their for him to watch it. I bought him a Buzz Lightyear torso play suit and it had blow up wings also, so he puts these on and just looks super cute in it. The other night he got out the Police helmut and his suit on and made a makeship door next to where I was scrapping on the coffee table and said "I'm off to work now, and puckers up for a kiss, just melted my heart and then closes his helmut and off he goes, problem is he is back within 60 seconds and saying "Home from work now and puckering for the next kiss" and then this scenario gets repeated about 30 times. But I have to tell you Nate and my older dog - 15 year old Max, have just formed a bond like I cannot believe, they play out in the yard, upstairs and it's like Max is a puppy again, he runs and his tongue is hanging out and Nate is belly laughing with him chasing him. I guess he is like a brother to Nate.
The layout above is my attempt at a block sketch using the gorgeous October Afternoon, Pink Paislee and Lillibee patterned papers in the Noel Mignon kit, everything I have used here is from the kit. I really enjoyed doing this one, and of course the gorgeous Melissa Frances frame is just divine, I had to put a little mist on it though to highlight the ornate edging as it blended into the white background. The pic is of us at Currimundi for the camp we went on, I went for a canoe ride and when I got back Nate wanted to have a little try.
Went to Amanda's yesterday and had a great day. Accomplished 3 layouts and am super happy with all of them, got to watch her complete a fantastic layout, my favourite so far using the gorgeous new Kaiser papers, not a big fan of Kaiser but wow they are now bringing out some "Wow" stuff, the boys played together and Nate was asleep within 60 seconds of leaving Amanda's house, the proof that a great day for mum and boy was had.
Off to check out what you have all been up to now. Take care and stay well. Love Melxx

Hi, Mel!!
Hope your having a great day!!
Send me your city and zip and I will check with the owners how much shipping would cost for one kit.
Since its a small kit it shouldn't cost that much but at least if you see one you like in the future you would know the ship cost!
Sorry my internet went out last night and finally its working.
Hope you and Nate have a Blessed day!!
Hugs and & love to you both!!
