A WINNER & Latest Publications

SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POST FOR  THE WINNER OF MY BLOG GIVEAWAY :)

Hello again, wow, this has to be a first, 2 posts in one day !! 
But I have some bits and pieces to share with you, which were published recently in Scrapbooking Memories Magazine
I was excited to have been asked to by the mag to do their 'Easy as 123' sketch challenge. I had to do a layout, and a card ( I chose to do a tag) and this is what I came up with
The Layout is a photo of my 2 oldest boys, Matthew and Samuel, now 18 and 19.
This next one is just a tag, well, because I love tags :)

And this last one is a layout of my husband. Its called Mr Romantic, which is funny, cos if you knew him, he is probably THE most un romantic man ever, lol...  But this particular story, I have to admit, is quite romantic. I was complaining to him one day about his lack of romance' I said, I want you to bring me flowers sometimes, his response was, 'if you want flowers, I will give you a whole paddock full of flowers' and well, he did, a few months later, he planted me 55 acres full of beautiful sunflowers :)
