More, Please...freebie
Good morning, everyone...or whatever greeting is appropriate for where and when you are!
My heart just hasn't been into blogging or scrapping lately. For the third time in two years, I have lost a cousin. Two of them were several years older than me, and one was four months younger. This time, it was my cousin, Marilyn, who passed away so suddenly...and I went to her memorial service last Saturday. It was a celebration of her life, and a tribute to how many lives she touched along the way. For this, I am thankful. And, yet, I already miss her so much.
I decided this morning to try out a RAK gift from my friend, Kim Broedelet. She shared her new Easter Basket bag with me, which is on sale right now at Digi-Scrap Obsession. The quality of her work is flawless and timeless, in my opinion, and I always fret that my layouts don't do it justice.
I couldn't resist using this photo of my Mom and her youngest great-grandson, Nathan, from last Easter. Nathan was patiently waiting his turn to redeem the surprises inside the plastic eggs he found, but the look on his face says it all. [the background is from my March Anew kit, and the tuft of grass is from Kim's Moody Days set]
I made a freebie word art for you from this layout...hope you can use it.
Please be good to those you love,
Melanie

Retrieve!!
Hello, all...hope this October day brings you joy. I had a fun weekend with an unexpected visit from my oldest niece and her family. Her three sons are great and we enjoyed watching them relish playing in the PERFECT weather we had all weekend. [Rainy this morning, after a stormy night, but the weather was perfect when we needed it!]
As boys do, they played all sorts of games; but in one particular game that involved a battle of sorts with foam swords, the oldest one (age 8), yelled to his "troops"....Retrieve! Retrieve! Retrieve!
We couldn't help but laugh at his version of the battle cry, "Retreat!" :) We never did correct him because, to be honest, we were impressed that he even knew the word retrieve. Don't you just love the way shared laughter makes you feel? :)
The lovely Kate sent me three recent terrific layouts she had done, using my word art. Thank you so much, Kate, for sharing these with us! Her daughter is newly pregnant and she wanted to commemorate the glowing lovely that she is.
I'm celebrating this favorite time of year myself with the addition of two new alphabets to my Divine Digital store. Click on the preview images below to take you to my shop...
AUTUMN ART ALPHABET:
And CHRISTMAS GREEN ALPHABET:

AUTUMN ART ALPHABET:
And CHRISTMAS GREEN ALPHABET:Hey, this just occurred to me...here's a thought for an advertisement slogan for my still-new store: RETRIEVE! RETRIEVE! RETRIEVE! [laughing by myself at my computer] Hope you like the new alphabets, at least enough to stop by the store and take a look. One of the word art sets I started with has been reduced to 20% off, so check it out, please! "Retrieving" them may just be the perfect thing you need for your layouts. :) A shameless plug, I know.
Hope your week begins well...I'll be back soon with another freebie!
Blessings,
Melanie
