Get Picky, The Phone Call.


Morning everyone, hope you are all well and enjoying this new week, here is my Get Picky layout, it was a gorgeous sketch and I just had to use these photos of Nate and I, his faces are just too cute, the "e" in the title is black but this is because he got to it with a black marker.  Not sure if you can see the pin in the bottom right hand corner but Tracy from My2angels makes them, they are just gorgeous and add the perfect touch to finish off the layouts.



Poor old Maxi, this is the love and attention he gets from Nate on a daily basis, and at 14.5 yrs old he handles it super well and just loves this boy.

I cannot believe this young man is 4 on Thursday, the time as you know just flies, and this photo is going to definately go on his 21st photo collage, he just loves veges and all things good, he would rather eat a carrot than a biscuit, (gee I wish his mum was like this). So when dear Barb gave us some parsley it didn't last long.

I got the most beautiful phone call this morning, Michelle from Texas. USA called, wow, what a buzz hearing this gorgeous girl and her amazing acsent....although she says I have one too. She sounds super gorgeous just as her picture dipicts and thank you Shell I am still on cloud 9.

Hope you all are enjoying your week, look forward to catching up soon. Love Melxx

Kelly Massman said...

What a fantastic layout! And, those photos are darling! I'm going to be smiling all day for having seen them!

Roxy said...

Fantabulous (this is my new word, like it?) layout, I always love how you layer your accent pieces! It is something I try to duplicate, but never get quite right, sigh! Nate's faces ARE adorable, and the other photos just make me laugh!!! Poor ol' Max, and the parsley - that is hysterical! I wonder if he'd be nude all the time if you lived in a cooler climate? Ailis is just like that with veggies, I think she would happily become vegetarian if we would let her! Love and hugs to you both, Roxy.

P.S. - how is clean-up going over there? 20 billion damage I think is the number they gave on the news here?!?!

Hi, Mel!!
I won't be going to the live CHA its a 20 hour drive from us and I don't have a sitter.
Its a online event I have never heard of the online version before so I'm excited about trying it out.
I will let you know how it goes and if they have it in the Summer and the international can join in I will send you one!!
Hope you and Nate are having a wonderful Austrailian day!!
Love & hugs!!

What a gorgeous layout - love those photos of you and Nate! I am so happy to see you blogging and scrapping again. You are right - this obsessive hobby of ours is not only great for the creative outlet but it is also tremendously fantastic for all the treasured friendships we make. Mel, I wondered if you received a card I sent you? I sent it to a return address I had of yours in Booval? Hope you are both well xx
