Flow Gently, Sweet River

A Couple of Magical Layouts

Aimee made a kit with loads of fairies, so I immediately had to get my hands on it! I love fairies - they're so cute and mischievous. So here's my first LO with the kit - this is me with my mother when I was just learning to walk. It's one of my earliest memories.

"This was Jasmine's and my last lunch with Dianne before she left for Dubai on a new job. We miss her now that she's gone, but know that with the Internet - Friendster, e-mail, and YM - we can still keep in touch. Good luck Dianne - we will be cheering for you as you follow your dreams!"
