Good morning to you all hope this post finds you happy and healthy, well it's Sunday morning here, rugged up and it's cold and overcast, and I am guessing you are sweltering over the other side of the world. Wow the cold has slowed this scrapper down heaps, I still sit and cut out at night time but the actual finding of the photos and glueing down is eluding me, after checking out your blogs I am sort of thinking whether it is stinking hot or freezing cold we are all feeling the effects of the weather in our lives. Thank you so much for the gorgeous comments you all leave me, I read them over again and they make me so happy to know I have so many gorgeous friends.
Nate was awesome at soccer on Friday night, but unfortunately two weeks holiday now as school is out for two weeks. I actually enjoy soccer as I feel so proud watching him on the field.
Uncle Col had a little windfall last week on lotto, he won $860 and because giving makes him so happy he gave Nate and I $100 to spend, the Handmade expo was on Saturday so I bought us all a little something with the money, Max and Stan got handknitted jumpers, Nate got a car from the "Cars" movie and well I bought a Studio Calico kit. After the markets where Jan and I purchase handmade cakes and farm fruit and veges we came home and to watch this little boy jump out of the car and run to Uncle Col is just so beautiful, money really is nothing, time is everything and Uncle Col dedicates his full attention to Nate when he comes for a visit, they roll on the grass, play tricks on Jan and I, throw balls to Max and Stan, garden, mow, it's just beautiful to see how this man who has never been able to have children of his own, loves my little man with all his heart.
I forgot to mention I was published for the first time in this month's Scrapbook Creations, in the Blue section. I got the biggest thrill showing Nate his picture in the mag, he must be so used to me reading the mags at first I think he didn't even notice. He rode a horse yesterday also at the markets and now says "I ride the horse mumma" how cute, I am so in love with my 3 year old.
The above Easter layout is a white space challenge on the Noel Mignon challenge blog, I love the challenges here.
Love to you all, you mean the world to me and your comments always touch my heart. Melissaxxxx

Congratulations on your first publication Mel! I saw that in the mag and recognised your little man and wondered if it was the same "Melissa" lol. Now I know for sure it is you :) Have you thought anymore about joining the Nook kit club? Just thought I'd mention it because at the moment they have an awesome deal going. You need to sign up for 12 months and you get two kits for free (the June kit, plus your 13th kit free). The July kit is also valued at $36 (you only pay $28). Can't get better than that! :)
