Here is a layout I created for the Melissa Frances Blog...
I tried and tried to get the video uploaded from Grace's fiddle contest, but it kept timing out. I used my mini DVD camcorder to take that video, so the file kept timing out because the file was too big. I have one of those little web quality video cameras and I used it to record her playing a song during practice yesterday...I finally got it to upload...it's not one of her hardest songs, but she wasn't really excited about playing for me to post on my blog...it made her nervous! Go figure...she wasn't a bit nervous to be in a contest, but she was worried about all the people out in blogland seeing her...
We definitely don't hear any fiddle music here in South Florida...I am so totally amazed at your Grace playing the fiddle and with such poise and talent. Thank you for sharing this! What beautiful children you have Sherelle!
Loving the layout you made too!

I love the colors in this layout. They remind me that Spring is on its way. The glitter flowers are pretty too. I love glitter when I don't have to apply it myself. Thanks for sharing.

Grace- you inspire me! My 11 yr old son, Cameron, plays violin (this if his first year) and I always tell him to practice, practice, practice....and now he sees why.
My 7 yr old daughter, Carson now wants to play 'fiddle' and not violin. too cute!
Thanks Sherelle...would love to see more videos of the fiddling!
hugs-Peg

I wish someone carried MF here still. It has the prettiest papers and cute accents. Can I have your scraps?
And will you be selling your cookbook? I would LOVE to buy a copy!!!

I tried the Chicken Bowtie pasta from your WOWZA cookbook. It was soo good. I loved using the crockpot. The dinner stress was eliminated because I put it all together while I made the lunch mess. Thank you!
for inspiring me!
