Oh my GOSH check out Gennifer's amazing family trees! But you have to make sure you look at the 'zoomed in' shots to properly appreciate them :-) Gen's giving some of them away on her blog, too (I don't want to say that too loud 'cos I don't want you all entering, do I? That would lessen my own chances!)
Gen happened to ask me in a comment here what 'Melsh' actually is. I've been meaning to explain it some time and here's a reminder to do so....
Well, I've always had my own individual way of talking. Partly in the things I say (and I talk a lot!!) But also my accent is really a mixture of accents from all over the place - a little bit North of England, a little bit Irish, a little bit South-West of England, a lot just me! And also, I'm a quarter Welsh. So at university, my way of talking became known as 'Melsh', mixture of 'Mel' and 'Welsh' (even though there isn't really any Welsh accent in there!)
So when I started a blog, it seemed a good way to describe the kind of thing I'd be talking about - both the content and the way I say things. And it seemed pretty likely that no-one else would have picked the name. And I couldn't think of anything else!
Gen, I hope the fact that I don't have a 'posh English accent' doesn't disappoint you too much! I can pretend as required... ;-)
More stencil goodness + a new CZ Design release!

Hey! You threw in "a little bit Irish", which trumps everything else. I may have a slight fascination with Ireland. ;)
I've seen them too, fabulous aren't they?
ah I wondered about the melsh thing, good to know :)
So that is what it means! :)
Thanks for the story! I'd been wondering, too. I'm a classmate from Blogging for Scrapbookers.
