Summer holidays and a layout!

Wohoo! Today our summer holidays started for real!! The boys have 6 weeks off and Manon has 9 weeks off (but her holiday started a week and a half ago)!! And I'm soooo proud of them! They have done so well at school this last year. Manon goes up a level because she's too good for the level she's in now and the boys both go on to the next class with perfect grades and remarks!

It's a pity I have to work a few days this week, but the kids spent their day at their grandparents and they all had a blast! Manon got a Wii from them and they've playing the whole day! And last week I took a day off and spent it shopping with Manon in The Hague. We had so much fun! And to thank me she cleaned the whole house the next day while I was working and she was at home. She even wrote me a little note and bought me a bar of white chocolate! <3 I really really hope she stays this way. She's 13 years old and I'm "waiting" for her to turn into this "cool" teenager who doesn't want anything to do with her mother.... (like a few of her friends :-(). Love her to bits!! (well, all of them obviously)

Okay on to my layout!!
Here's the sketch Liz from The Scrappiest sent us last week, I found it a huge pleasure to work with and that probably shows.... (much happier with this layout than the last!).

and my take on it:

For this layout I used my June Nook kit. Filled with lots of MME, So Sophie. The banner, the butterfly and the dog are from October Afternoon, the letters are from MLS.

If you decide to join us this week, don't forget to link your layout to Mr Linky on the blog of The Scrappiest! You never know if you're the one who'll win the prize from Apron Strings!!

This is it for now. Enjoy the lovely weather (at least here in The Netherlands) and thanks for stopping by!!

Hugs, Monique
