REMEMBER

The lovely Leanne Allison http://leanneallinson.blogspot.com/ has set a challenge over at the Boxx http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/ to do more journalling on our layouts and has given tips. The first tip being using a word as a prompt. The word "Remember" , so I have scrapped a layout about how its about creating happy memories that is the important thing in life for me. Not sure if I am happy with my layout, It really was not working for me, but I decided to stick with it. Muslin and flowers can fix anything right? well that's my theory. Still not sure if I
am happy with it, but hey its another memory or memories scrapped so that's the important thing. And as Leanne Jago  http://addictedtoclouds.blogspot.com/ says, its the good, the bad and the ugly .

I also did this layout using the sketch at Get Picky for the month of November http://getpicky.blogspot.com/2011/11/november-sketch-challenge-14.html

 Oh better put the layout up

Now for my Random Fact ~ You can leave now if this is boring you to tears or stay if you want to get to know me a little better

Random flash card I have drawn today "Most Memorable dining experience" Hmmm well I have lots, I think every time you share a meal with friends its a memorable dining experience. But the one I will choose is when we were at Patmos in the Greek Islands. We were staying at our friends Mums house and their Auntie and Uncle live up the hill. They had never met us before, but they are the most welcoming and generous people I have ever met and made our time there truly special. Every night Mary and John insisted we have dinner with them. Let me tell you Mary is the BEST cook ever. They live a very simple life, but are so happy and generous. We would waddle back down the hill every night so full we thought we would burst, as they would keep loading up our plates . We loved sitting around their dining room table every night talking and laughing. What made this dining experience memorable ~ Mary & John. We so loved our time spent on Patmos because of them.




Wishing you sunshine and smiles and please let me know you called by

Hugs
