SO Much to Share.....

Hi everyone - I apologise in advance about the size of this post - It is large because there is so much to share and I thought (may be unwisely) that I would do it in one post - not the least because I have loaded so much onto facebook today, people will get totally fed up with me if I complete several posts here too as they are linked!

So here we go....

Congratulations are in order.......
The lovely Michelle Lark, who I am delighted to join her, is celebrating as we all are in her fantastic layout being on the over of Scrapbooking Memories this month - it is a beautiful layout by a beautiful lady!!! Congratulations Michelle - so very deserved!!

The Front Cover!!!!

Here is what Michelle says on her blog:

If you have ever submitted a project to magazine for publication I bet you can share with me the disappointment you feel when they send you a "thanks but no thanks" reply. Well you can you imagine my SURPRISE a couple of months ago when I received a "CONGRATULATIONS" email from the editor Kristy, to say that they loved my LO so much they were going to feature it on the FRONT COVER! Yes that's right - Scrapbooking Memories have published my LO on the April issue with a photo of my darling Goddaughter and I can't thank them enough for picking ME! Thank you to my dearest friend Lisa (aka: Vanilla) for sharing such a beautiful photo of her daughter with me and allowing it to be published for the nation to see!

Michelle has also used 'Washday' and here is her sublime layout - this lady is amazing - 0h it just rocks!
