Evening Scrapper

Bet you thought I'd given up!


Well - I've been waiting to get my Snapfish order delivered, and also have had a busy time at school so I haven't had that much time - but I have now got a DLO and a SLO to share.

DD has been showing some distinct signs of photography interest - inevitable really as her Dad is also an addict! I couldn't resist snapping this moment of father daughter togetherness - spoilt a few minutes later when she discovered that she'd gone through the first 3/4 of the holiday without a film in her camera! Of course - she now wants a digital.......... Paper is by Shan Lawrence and I handcut round the statue before tucking the pic behind it.

I also did a LO - or more accurately a DLO for Jakey's music challenge - theme had to be "A Perfect Day" after the Chris Rea song. (The LO is also OK for the challenge on the UKS site - I do like these LOs that fulfil more than one objective! ) It records a day trip we made over the summer to a little place called Bosham in Hampshire - initially we wanted to go to the craft centre but the village itself soon became one of our favourites - so tranquil! Also lots of history there - it was in the Bayeux Tapestry - and the streets flood every tide.

This LO taken at Buckfast Abbey records DD's growing interest in photography. It was inevitalbe that she would become interested - only problem is that minutes after this photo was taken she discovered that she hadn't had a film in for the first 3/4 of the holiday.
UhOh - looking at the LOs now it's obvious how inexperienced I am with the blogging and taking pics of LOs - but you have to cut a newly qualified teacher some slack!

Back again!



Sorry for the delay in posting but I have been undergoing my first week at school - and its a shock to the system even at part time! I have just completed a challenge on UKS though - well even the teachers have to be able to find time to scrap :D. We had to scrap something inspired by Australia. As DD had recently enjoyed watching Steve Irwin's programmes in the mornings during the school summer hols, and was rather shocked by his untimely death I thought that this would be a suitable theme. He may have been a bit controversial but there can be no doubt he was a fantastic communicator and introduced the kids to wildlife that they would never come face to face with.
