What is it they say about the best made plans? After confirming the details of our girls day out to Paperific with Anita, my eldest son Thomas developed a sore throat and a temperature last night. After a restless night sleeping in bed with me he woke up the same. While he wasn't overly unwell I couldn't send him to school, my mum is still overseas so she couldn't have him and I didn't think it fair to drag him around Paperific. So I had to ring and cancel our day out and I have spent the day at home with a semi sick child. Luckily he's happy watching movies, drawing and using the computer and I have been able to sit and scrap.
After spending 4 days on the last page, I decided to go for a couple of quick and easy pages. Neither one took very long and I'm happy with the outcome. This first LO is based on a sketch and LO of Makeesha Byl's which I saw ages ago on her blog.
And my second LO is of my nephew Jasper with Thomas taken last year at easter. They are so different to look at and in personality but are really good buddies.
Hope you are all having a lovely Friday. We are fortunate down here in Melbourne to be seeing a bit of sunshine, yippee. And to everyone who got to Paperific hope you're having a great time.
With Love

Ooh bugger! Hope Thomas is feeling a bit better today. Love your layouts. Cheers, Sue
