Happy weekend

Hi there!
Well, it has been a happy weekend for me. I've been lucky enough to have both my boys around me this weekend. They are growing up so fast, and I treasure every minute I spend with them. It won't be long before Lewis leaves home, and it only seems like yesterday when he was learning to walk and talk...... sigh...... another sigh...... And Nathan starts secondary school in September. He is no longer my baby!

I have been blog hopping again. You girls are so talented. I'm feeling very inspired by Anderjackie (Jackie Anderson). Her layouts are so gorgeous.... absolutely beautiful. Her blog is fairly new and I, for one, am so glad that she has started her own blog. I just know that I will be learning loads from her. Hugs to you Jackie!

The hilarious Kirsty Wiseman has a link to a competition going on at Tonic Studios if you fancy it. You have to design your own punch, and the chosen design will be made into a REAL punch. How cool is that?! Pop over there and have a go.

The lovely Shimelle Laine has a link to Banana Frog where you can view her new tutorial on stamping uaing glitter. She also is asking us to let her know what tutorials we would like her to do next. I've asked for ideas on how to use acetate. I have loads of acetate shapes, but don't know what to do with them. If you have any thoughts, please, please let me know. I so want to have a go at using acetate on my layouts.

Hope you are all fine-n-dandy, and life is treating you kindly. Chat soon, Marie x
