It's my turn this month for the quote challenge at Scrapbooking From Scratch. It's perfect for scrapping those photos of your friends.

I love this photo of Peta and I that Jen from Jenerations Photography took of us. If you are in the Hunter Valley district and want some photos contact Jen, she is amazingly talented.

Charm and Deb have their challenges us on the forum too.

april sfs challenge

This month it is my turn to host the sketch challenge at SFS

I love this photo of my great niece and nephew. 

I am looking forward to seeing your layouts in our gallery

friendship

After the awful start that we have had this year, the above quote could not have been truer. The love and support that I have had from my friends all over the country has warmed my heart. It saddens me that I haven't had the same from the people that I would have expected too, but the support of my TRUE friends certainly makes up for the hurt.

One of those True friends did something beautiful for me a few weeks ago. I arrived home from work and there was a parcel on my scrap desk. To say I blubbered like a baby when I read the letter attached and opened the box is an understatement.

This is what I found

Can you see why I cried?

Kirst took this selfie of herself and my dad just after we found out that Dad had terminal cancer. 

Thank you Sarah, I will always treasure this beautiful gift.

Sending you all love and hugs

christmas or not christmas?

Anyone that knows me knows that I don't scrap Christmas. Unless they are family photos taken with everyone. And then I don't really use Christmas paper for that either. I have used the JBS Winter Tortellini and Spinach collection pack from SFS. Sadly this kit is sold out, but it might give you some inspiration on how to use those left over Christmas papers that you have in your stash.

I love this photo on the last layout. I awoke one morning and a friend had used a app on her ipad to make this Santa's little helper photo of me and uploaded it on my wall...it gave me a good giggle hee hee.

Thanks for dropping by and leaving me some love.
