Hi everyone, raining cats and dogs here today, which has worked out super good for us, the above layout was made documenting the "typewriter" on the chest game that I have played with Nate since he was little, hearing his laugh, and him saying "more, more, more mummy" Ijust had to get this memory onto paper.....This particular shot is where I asked Col to hold his arms, (for maximum impact of course), I got Aunty Jan to take the photo for me. I love the mix and mend papers from SassLass and those MM corregated letters are my faves.
I did some scrapping, Karen made several layouts (or finished some she had already started) and we talked scrap, kids, childbirth.....well everything, I think we solved heaps of the world's problems. lol
Amber's neglected blog is HERE, I had to have a laugh as when she sits behind her steering wheel she says she will soon need platform shoes to reach the pedals, I can remember this time when I was due also with Nate.
Life is good, there is always so many families in stress, I feel fortunate to have you all as like an extended family to share my trials and tribulations with.
Love to all of you, hope you and your families are well fed, have a warm roof over your heads and there is laughter coming from within the walls. LOVE MEL xxxxxx

It was wonderful catching up today Mel, next time we shouldn't leave it so long between visits xx I had a ball and it was lovely meeting Amber and of course seeing Nate again. I've finished off those layouts but having trouble uploading because my internet connection has been dropping out all night. Hope to show you soon how they turned out.
Take care xx
Gorgeous layout, and always love hearing your Nate stories!
Gorgeous pics of you and your friends, so glad you ahve some wonderful people in your life, wishing you all the best!
Aw, what a beautiful post here Mel! I recognize Karen, and I'm also a follower of Amber through you too. Beautiful photos of you beautiful ladies! So glad to hear things are looking up for Amber!
Your layout is gorgeous as always. I'll say it again, I just love how you cluster up all your embellishments. I'm taking inspiration from you on my current LO, but I'm struggling a the moment. Hopefully the agony will be worth it in the end, I'm hoping for an absolute stunner!
Funny you mentioned Hervey Bay, my grandparents used to live there! Small world, eh? I think they lived by the railroad, I remember my mom saying they would sit on the porch and watch the trains go by for entertainment!
Love and hugs to you and Nate, you've given me a new game to play with Brenna! Roxy.
Cute, cute layout!
Such cool work, love that subtle black chalking on the edges, and those yellow doilies!
And thank you for the comments... It's been quite rough and stressful lately...
As for blogging, it's confusing as I mostly have scrapping readers but my interest in scrapping has diminished (I still read other scrappers blogs, but I just don't feel like scrapping myself). So most the readers I do have are not at all interested in my gaming and BJD ramblings and photos, and it saddens a bit... sort of like I'm making my readers dissapointed in not posting LO's, and thus not getting any comments or conversations. Maybe start over at a new blog?...
I've decided to lie up for now until I know what to do... ^-^
Loooooove your Layout Mel!!! all that sassafras Lass goodness & FAB flowers, Everthing about your Layout Rocks!!!
All the Best for your friend Karen...
