Christmas Catchup

This LO is a very simple one of my cousin taken in 2008, the paper is Rosies christmas collection and i used Tattered Angels glacier glimmer mist and my making memories slice machine to cut the title on a 4inch increment also used my fiskars threading water punch on the edges (not that you can see it very well in this photo lol!!)

Had great fun playing with shaped paper on this LO of my cousin pretending to shop :)

My Beautiful Dog

Because I'm in a wheelchair I'm lucky enough to have an assistance dog, her name is Jaffa and she is a Golden Retriever :) we make  a great team and love going out and about together :)
She helps me:
take the washing off the line
pick up things off the floor
bark to get attention
gives money to people if i can't reach
and presses buttons at traffic lights for me

This is one of my favourite pages of my gorgeous assistance dog Jaffa, this photo was taken on our first ever train ride to Melbourne :)
