Hello everyone, hope you and your family's are well as you read this. The above layout is for Kraft it up this month, and this is Nate pretty much every day, and he is definately my greatest gift. I hope you like it, the criteria this month was to use these words "there is no greater gift than today".
This is my computer area where I am typing right this very second, I like to call it my oasis as I am usually here because Nate has had tea and watching a dvd - which is "Marmaduke" by the way tonight. This is not where I scrap - I use half the kitchen table but will show you all that next post.
This is the leather lounge which has a few rules attached to it, all is good so far. I love fresh flowers, they make me feel good and I am guessing due to all the rain here are really cheap at the moment. And underneather the coffee table is the old hog Maxi just relaxing.
This is just a room that is off the entry and as you can see my wine rack is empty, and hasn't had a bottle in it since Nate could crawl. I love a glass of wine on an occassion like a birthday etc, but it may have to wait a couple of years before I am game to stock it. The pic on the wall is one Dad and Mum left here in the house and it is the first picture they ever bought together and so it has some sentimental meaning to me.
Okay, it's Sunday night - "Who wants to be a supermodel" then probably to bed to read and look through the latest SBM mag. Love to you all, be visiting soon. Melxx

Hi! Thank you much for playing along with the Bird Is The Word blog hop! Thank you also for your lovely comments and for following my blog! Take care, Nadia.
Your layout of Nate is beautiful Mel :):):) He is such a beautiful little man... you can see how happy he is by the light that dances behind his eyes when he smiles....a real testament to the awesome job his mumma is doing - little people this happy know they are loved!
THe new sofa looks great too! Glad to hear the rules are still in place and all is well xxx
Hey, Mel, meant to post on your last LO - it sure is cute! - but sometimes with this stupid computer it won't let me leave a comment, and I have to close down and come back to your page, and it's sooooooo slow, UGH! Anyhoo, this is a great page, too, and I loooooove seeing your space! You are a very neat and tidy person (or did you spiff it up before taking the photo? That's what I would do!) Nice new couch, I am quite jealous of it. We paid $40 for our hide-a-bed to stay with the house, and now we know why they wanted to leave it behind - maybe we'll leave it too! But speaking of extra beds, if you ever make it over here, of course you could stay as long as you want! We would love to have you, anytime, anyway!!! I will have to write you an email sometime as I am obviously rambling, but thanks so much for all your support, it means a ton to me, Love your friend, Roxanne.
I love the picture of your precious dog laying under the table so sweet!
I still will uoload that Lo to the challenge but I will wait until Sat. night!
Im going out of town and now we are speding the night!
Im finally going to meet Rita!!
I tell you more about that later!
Hope you and Nate are having a wonderful week!
Sorry about the delay but we just decided yesterday to spend the night so I have some packing to do!
Love to you & Nate!!
Gorgeous Mel!!
