CSI CASE NO.21
TITLE :- HER WEDDING DAY
This is my cousins daughter Susan on her wedding day, with her sister Nikky as bridemaids,in 2002.
Cheryl was my uncle bill's daughter and they live in New Zealand in Christchurch. I remember Cheryl coming over for a holiday when I was only little, it was a big thing back when I was little.
Since then I have lived in New Zealand and talked to Cheryl and the telephone and organised for us to meet. Unfortunately, family matters called me home to Australia before we could meet, I still write and try to keep up with them. Susan looks stunning, as only a bride could on her wedding day.

this is the MAY SPECIAL EDITION Palette "SCRAP THAT"
title: MY BROTHER MY SISTERS
This ismy mum with her brother Chas and his wife mimie, who were visiting fromerth, they travelled over in their camper van with their little dog, whose name just eludes me. They use to come over once or twice a year and they stayed with my aunty annie. She's the lady wearing the darker dress in the bottom photo. We use to joke that mum and aunty annie were twins as they look so much alike. In fact Chas was the oldest then auntie annie then mum three years later. Auntie Annie and mum were very close and use to go dancing together, to the pub on a Friday night for a sing song with friends, they were more like really close friends than sisters.

KERRI'S MAY STASH CHALLENGE

This is my daughters jackie and ness putting on a show for their dad and me. There was singing and dancing, the girls would prectice their routine several times a week. Then let the show begin.
We often had a good laugh and it was very entertaining, on this day as ness reminded me, they were getting married, notice the flowers jackie is holding, I made those in a floral night class that I had just finihed.I have used papers bits of ribbon and odd flowers that i had in my box.
SCRAP THE BOYS
MAY CHALLENGE
This is my take on my boy getting dirty:-

TITLE:- BOGGAMAN
This is my grandson Izaak picking his nose, its a dirty habbit, but boys seem to do it alot. I always ask him is he digging for gold or silver, because nanny would like some gold. Sometimes he says "i'm digging for diamonds". We always have a laugh and tease him a little. 
The other reference to the challenge is that little quote in the corner:-
Stinky, Sweaty, smelly .....
Boys & their toys .....
All boys have trains, planes and automobiles.


SCRAP THE GIRLS
MAY CHALLENGE - A QUOTE

You know whatever you do, they'll still be there".

We went to the park with her brother and aunty ness, we watched ducks swim, visited the tunrruda and rolled down the hill. It was a great day, sunny with a little breeze, the kids also played on the climbing equipment as well. This took place because the grandkids came over during school holidays and stayed with us, it was great.
