This is my entry for From Screen 2 scrap and the criteria this month was to add 4 coloured arrows, some hearts and a photo ith 1/2 or 1/4 face in it. I used this photo to document that every 2nd Friday Nate comes to work with me and whilst I am delivery the week's programme to the mother's Nate attends Hippy School, the co-ordinator of the creche school is amazing and the kids have an amazing time. It goes for 3 hours and Nate says he goes to school now....
In this phot Nate is openning a gorgeous RAK I got from Lynnda, his face says it all. We watched Evan Almighty together (on tv) last night, wow we both loved this movie. Going to have to buy it now because Nate wants to watch it again.
Aunty Jan is still very active despite her illnesses (she is a chronic Asthmatic) but of course kids don't understand, Nate is starting to get bigger and we talk about making the most of this little man wanting to be on our shoulders.....
Jan and Col were never able to have children so Nate is an amazing blessing in their life, I have so many blessings in my life, and this includes the wonderful friends I have made just by enjoying scrapping, thanks for being a part of my life, you all mean the world to me. Love to you and your families, Melxx
