Scrappassion Challenge Blog International

Scrappassion Challenge Blog International have just recently announced their first design team, the DT come from all over the world and I am pleased that my friends Melissa and Ingeborg are both on the team. The challenge for this month is to create a vintage style layout and to use a word that would be a key focus for the year. I have decided to go with the word Power this year as I believe that I have the power to control what is going on with my life.

Christmas 2010

A few photo's from Christmas day....yep much to the family's disgust I insist on having a family photo, it's always a bit hit and miss when you use a timer

This is one of our neighbours houses......I have asked the boys to decorate the outside of our house next year.

My favourite decoration.

Sweet revenge.....many years a go when I was a teenager I had a couple of cousins who would wake me up rather early when I stayed at the farm, well they are both parents now and lucky for one of them who lives in the states and the other one lives close by and she, Sean, Josh and Jazz all came for Christmas brunch. We gave Josh a drum kit and they symbols work really well...lol... and Jazz got a nice quiet toy a pink bike.....There are plently more opportunities to buy here noisey toys...

Taylor and Jazz

Brandon's graduation

The photo's below were taken by the photographers from event photography on Wednesday night at Brandon's graduation.

Recieving his graduation folder from the principle Mr Lewis

The graduating class of 2010, the girls looked beautiful and the boys looked very smart.

A bit of an update

In October we attended a dinner celebrating the achievement of 25 years service to ETSA, 83 employees including Craig were recognised. A rare photo of Craig and I together.......

I took this photo on Brandon's last official day at school. He has since completed all of his exams and now we play the waiting game for the results. Brandon was happy with his exams, but at the moment the exam results are the last thing he is thinking about as he is with his friends at Goolwa celebrating schoolies. I hope they have a great time.

Brandon and soem of his friends after the Graduation mass at St. Davids. It was sort of fitting that Gleeson held the graduation mass here as Brandon attended primary school at St. Davids.

He has one last function to attend and that is the formal graduation at the convention centre, I believe it will be a wonderful night.
