36NewFriends.jpg36 New FriendsThis photo of our Contiki group made me want to do a layout on how much we enjoyed it and how many friends we made. (If anyone notices, theres not 36 people in the photo, a few slept in that day!!). I tell people all the time that we weren't sure about Contiki originally but it ended up being a fantastic decision, so figured why not journal it!5 commentsJun 28, 2010

LO_028_A_Place_in_Time.jpgA place in history.Many years ago, these cemeteries scared me. I always imagined the big headstones to be spooky and I hated going to the cemeteries with headstones but now that I am older, they don’t scare me anymore.
I now see the beauty in these headstones. Whilst death is not beautiful, the work of art on these headstones are amazing. It is very interesting seeing all the different shaped headstones and plots. They truly are a labour of love.
It’s probably morbid to take photos of these headstones and a little disrespectful.
But I fear that in years to come, these will be gone. Where would history be???
Just one photo is a memory to remember… to remember this piece of history in time.6 commentsJun 25, 2010
LO_029_A_walk_through_yesteryear.jpgA walk through yesteryear.Journalling reads:
Was this how the Female Factory looked in 1840?
Of course not but by preserving the past
we can teach our children and their children about
life in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.
The wonderful fireplace, stunning wallpaper and
beautiful light fittings all tell a story about life in 1840.
Ross Female Factory, Tasmania.

P1050511.JPGMum's BoyI finally found some mojo and was in the middle of doing this LO (inspired by a LO in our LSS) when Lisa's June technique caught my eye, so here is the result. I have alsp used Kraft c/s, KC Peachy Keen, random buttons and butterfly. The butterfly chose it's own spot on the LO. That is where it fell- glue side down! TFL2 commentsJun 25, 2010
