March Sketch Challenge

This is my Interpretation of March's Sketch Challenge at SBC

These are the photos of our girls day out.... and have enjoyed scrapping them.

Mother Daughter Day

On Saturday my work had a social function at 'Doomben Races'..... unfortunately Andrew got sick and was unable to come..... But Charlene was dying to go so she was my partner for the day.... We had such an awesome day!
Its the first time I have ever been to the races, we had our own tent which was not far from the finish line.... We both betted on every race and had a couple of real good wins but Charlene could not just decide on one horse but would at least pick 3!!! But we had a lovely lunch a few drinks and spent with a great bunch of people. After every race you would put your losing ticket's in a barrel and prizes were able to be won after every race.... I won 2 movie tickets and Charlene won a $100 gift voucher. So we decided we would go to the movies together than go shopping and go halves in the voucher...
I would have loved to have spent the day out with my husband but I am glad Charlene and I got to have this day together.... We both enjoyed the whole day as Mother and Daughters should...
These are a few photos to share... which aren't good as the glare was on our faces.... typical what you get asking a man to take them LOL

"When I was a little girl I couldn't wait to grow up so I could......

This is week 3's blog challenge.....

I have been sitting on this for sometime and was not going to answer... but thought I would try and explain my reasons..... My childhood is all pretty much a blank.....and I really did not want to think about it actually. It saddens me when I try to remember things and its like I have no memory of anything..... Things are so limited in what I remember.....
A little while I go I had to try and remember parts of my childhood and when I received the forms and read all the questions I was like OMG..... I became totally overwhelmed with saddness..... what was I going to write..... how can we block so much of our lives out..... It totally sent me for a six and I had nightmares and could not sleep for days.... I would go to bed at night and cry myself to sleep thinking about how unfair everything was and WHY this happened.....the system had failed MY family.
So if I probably did think about this as a little girl... I would probably say ..... I couldn't wait to grow up so I could have a family of my own ..... to have some to love ME and to be loved back.... To give my children everything that I didn't have as a child and MORE...
Thanks for Reading.... this was defintely hard for me to write.... Thanks again Terri for a great challenge :) Its probably things I would not share with anyone but my closest friends....
Have a good day everyone!

Check these out

I am so very proud of my photography today.... I have been dying to use my camera outside and to get some great photos... I was starting to get a bit worried that I was not using my camera to its full potential and want to try different settings instead of just auto all the time.... And today my favourite subject came for a visit... it was a lovely sunny late afternoon.... perfect for photos and this is the results.....






Now I did end up taking 200 photos and got so many printed yesterday... so get ready as layouts are already underway :)

What makes ME laugh

I do love a good laugh and sometimes once I get going it just wont stop, you know when everyone else has finished laughing and you are still uncontrollably laughing you cant stop!
I also love Funniest Home Video's.... whats with it laughing at people hurting themselves!!! My all time favourite was a pelican that had came up to a little kid and next minute he had him in his mouth except for his little legs kicking fiercely and the parents were hysterical trying to pull him out.... Now if that was your child would you be laughing!!!!
Another is an ad on TV.... its an old one... but everytime I see it I always crack up laughing..... RACQ...... Charter boat, what charter boat.... I am sure you all know which one I am talking about!
Just hanging out with my friends having a good laugh until my cheeks hurt so much....

Thats all I can think of right now.... Thanks Terri for the challenge.
