Get Picky, Just for me, sketches


Hello everyone, what a glorious day here, sun is shining, 25 degrees, just perfect. I took Nate to the new park here in Ipswich and we ended up staying for almost 4 hours. Had a picnic lunch with a friend and her 2 kids and then the kids played and we ended up meeting others to chat with....so relaxing and the kids played so beautifully.

Above is my Get Picky layout for this month, I had previously did a layout on my finished little face painted spiderman but I also wanted to document his face whilst he was getting it painted. Look how he screws his little face up.



This is a just for me layout, I recently asked Nate. "Why do you always eat the bottom of the cone first"? His reply to me was "Had to mum". So I just had to tell this story also. I am just love love loving the For the record papers from Echo Park, love my Nook kits, this next one is Basic Grey Hello Luscious.....cannot wait.

Look what I got in the mail today.....these are just gorgeous and if you would like some yourself just go HERE.















Hope you are all well and your families are well, I will be visiting you all in the next day or so. Love to you all. Mel and Natexx

Hey Mel, miss ya tons! Love all your last LO's, the whites and brights are fabby! And Nate eating from the bottom of the cone, too funny! That most definitely deserves a page!!! We are alive and well in our new home, and today's Mother's Day, although I probably won't have much fun with that. Too much work to be done, sigh. Have a great Mom's day, and we'll chat soon, hugs, Roxy.
