csi no. 30
All Aboard

This is what we called a mystery weekend away, I would tell the girls that they had to be in the ccar and ready to go by 8am. They were always ready, we didn't know where we would end up,I would just drive until we got somewhere. This trip we ended up in the Dandenongs, around the Healswville area. While staying at a motel we would head out for the day and explore, we went to see t
Puffin Billy and the Healsville  santuary. We even went to a chinese restuarant for tea, the girls were 10 & 9 years old. So this was an adventure for them. We went to little tea houses for scone's and tea.  We did this mystery weekend every couple of months.
I have put child embellishments that respresents kids movies, or shows, there is:- Fireman Pete, little charlie bear, hogwarts, over the hedge, Madagaskar and  a bugs life. I have also put something on the lo can you guess which movie its meant to be, hint:-stone age??

title:- Play like there's no tomorrow
This is my daughter vanessa on the day that we went to an adventure park in Victoria, we were on holidays at there nanny gillepie's.We were living in Sydney at the time and we didn't get down the nanny's very often. It was a really great day as ness was quite taken with the water boats while her sister jackie liked the doggam cars. The weather was just right a bit overcast with a touch on sun. The girls ate hotdogs, icreams and lollies, we also packed a pinic lunch chicken with salad stuff. After which the girls just ran around like nuts, they couldn't do enough. Thank goodness they fell asleep in the car with minutes of us leaving the park as the sugar overload would have kicked in about then. They had a great day and fun memories, well we have the photo's to prove it.

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.

SUYS
Title:- THANKS A BUNCH
This is my mum christina gillespie and my brother john.They are moving into their new home. A two bedroom unit. Notice the garden, it is very bare. 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.
