A baby & my top 10

Firsty, I have some HUGE news.........
 I am very excited to announce that I am a Grandmother !!!  (for the 2nd time eeek) My daughter Ashlee gave birth to her second child, a little boy on Wednesday evening. I was very fortunate to be with her throughout the birth, and she was amazing. It is an incredible experience to be with your child, when she gives birth to her own child.

 It is with great pleasure that we welcome

Ive seen lots of blogs where people are displaying their favorite layouts they have created throughout the year, and thought I would do the same. I have had an amazing year this year with my Scrapbook. I feel very honoured to have been given the opportunities that I have been given. I cant wait to see what 2012 has in store. So, here are my favorite creations from over the last year. Theres some others that Ive done, which I would have included, but they are out for publication, so I will share those as soon as I can.









My heartfelt thanks to everyone for their constant support, and wonderful comments left on my blog throughout the last year. Coming here and reading them really does brighten my day. I wish everone a safe, and happy new year, and I hope all your dreams and wishes come true in 2012.
