Still around

Just so you don't think I've gone missing.....here's a photo of the kippers. Little & big.

Blogs and Koalas

I forgot to include a link to my friend Kerin's blog, she's having a giveaway and it all relates to the terrible bushfires in Victoria. If you love koalas, you'll love this so head on over and leave a comment on her blog for the chance to win. Also my sister Annette has started a blog, she had lots of nice things to say about me (well, why wouldn't she, after all I am nice) but if you want to have laugh and leave a comment she has posted a photo of the two of us taken in 1972 (ouch!) in a photo booth at Luna Park in Melbourne. I remember that trip. We drove from Adelaide to Melbourne in her Toyota Corolla with the only music being a cassette tape of Rod Stewart. Over and over again we listened until we were both heartily sick of 'Maggie May'. Ah!.......good times.

Some of the inner pages of my journal:

This is the ATC:

This is the cover:

Now we're cooking with gas! This is the cover of my journal (not the best picture) the silver strip down the middle was from a jewelry box a lady gave me on one of my unpacking jobs. It was very ornate and bulky so when I got home I pulled as much of the silver off it as I could (many nicks and cuts later) and cut it to size and glued it onto my cover adding a few beads that I wired on. OOps , some of them are around the wrong way, never mind. I've just been talking to Jacqueline whilst doing this and she has encouraged me by saying practice makes perfect. I would have like to set this all out a bit better, but you get the idea.
