Scrap The Boys July Challenge:-

Title:- IZAAK
This is my grandson Izaak, The first photo is Izaak on the day that they had their school photo's taken, hamsome devil he is, the second photo shows him building blocks into something in the class room. The three little one's show him on the monkey bars, this was because I was dropping him off at school, and he wanted to show me how he does it, and I think to show off which was fine with me. While he was showing me I was telling how I used to come out at little recess and do the same thing, even would you believe it at the same school. The last photo's show Izaak doing his homework and that homework was marked by his teacher the next day. Izaak loves school especially reaading, the computers and the maths programme he does in the class and at home. He is one clever boy and we love him very much and are proud of him.

Within two months,mum's gladdies flowered and so does her red pancies. Mum always had a lovely garden wherever she lived. There was always a bunch of cut flowers on her kitchen table.. That's haat I remember.

I have used the stensil of the cut out tree to make the inked shadow in the background, this is my take on the challenge.

This is my brother John holding my baby daughter Jackie on the day that she was christened. Jackie was christened at the Wonthaggi Catholic Church in Victoria. She was a good baby through the ceremony. Afterwards, we went back to my sister's  Heathers place and this is where the family photo's were taken in her back yard. All my brother's except james who wasn't there had their pictures taken. Then we went inside so all the boys in the family got photo's taken and then all the girls had photo's taken as well. These are the moments that we remember as special.

Title:- lets hit the!!!
Here I am all ready to start my lesson in roller bladding, my daughter jackie is teaching me. First learn how to stand on said blades, then how to stop, very important then its ago off we went around the streets of North Wonthaggi. This is the first time I was on the road, the first time I tried I ended up wrapped around a pole, my daughter Ness brought out a pillow to put on my bottom, soft landing.
Anyway, as we were going around laughing and talking, we passed some older people, they had a bit of a chuckle when they saw me, anyway, I thought I'm giving it ago, so I did a cheeky thing I poked my tongue at them, and nearly fell in the mean time. I must admitt, it was really fun, and we did this  a couple of times a week, weather permitting.

This was on our weekend scrappin trip at Sunset strip on Phillip Island, we stayed at a two storey house and we shared food, wine and scrapping stuff. We had a competions and calm walks on the beach. Which was 5 minute walk from the house. We are posers, She, di in the red tina in all blue and me with my froggie pj's on. We did this walk a couple of times and boy was it a great weekend. While having a quite time out on the upper deck with a coffee, I saw three to four rabbits, more like hares, down on the lawn. So being a mad scrapper I took out my camera and starting snapping away, little did i know that i would capture two rabbits have a fight. It was amazing. We watch movies and did some serious op shopping for some really great bargins, one being 400 mtres of lace, i shared twon meters with all the girls there, that's what we do, share.    year:- 2011
