Scrapbooking

After barely doing in scrapbooking since ariving in Scotland 9mth ago, last night I got off my bottom and got to work. It took along time to get the creative juices flowing but I really enjoyed it. I managed to finish 2 pages up to the journaling. I'm proud of my efforts. I even left my stuff out on the table with the hope of doing some more today. When I have a chance I'll take some pictures of my layouts and post them so that you can all see.

Photo Update

Heavy snow storm we had the week we moved to our new house at the end of March - that's right in spring. We had more snow in March than we did all winter.

Chicken Pox anyone!!!!

7 reasons not to mess with children.

Thanks Alina for the great email, if this don't make you at least smile, I'll be very worried.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him ".

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.

As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.

The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."

The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."

Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.

After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"

Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.

She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"

Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say,'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."

"Yes," the class said.

"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"

A little fellow shouted,
"Cause your feet ain't empty."

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:

"Take only ONE. God is watching."

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

Comments

I have spoken with a few people that have said they tried to post a comment but have not been able to. When going into the comments page they will ask to choose if you are a blogger, other or anonymous. If you do not have a blog just choose other and you shouldn't have any problem. It would be great to see that people are reading my blog.

Blessings to all my special aussie friends.

Sunburnt???????

I can scarcely believe that I'm even doing this post. But today I helped a friend with a yard sale or as the Aussies say a Garage Sale, and we ended up having our 3rd day in a row of wonderfully warm weather (ok 17c isn't that warm but after -6c it is bliss). I just did not even think to "Slip, Slop, Slap." And as a result I have very red shoulders, chest and neck. I really couldn't believe that Sunburn and Scotland would mix. I wonder if they even sell sun-cream here??????It feels more like home very day!!!

So Proud!!!

It still amazes me what a child can remember. Yesterday Mike was up for preaching at our church in Dingwall. The passage he preached on was Colossians 1:15-20 "The sufficiency and Supremacy of Christ". Being one of his favorite passage, it became a memory verse for Alexis. Well to get to the point - Alexis did the bible reading for Michael from memory, she did an amazing job, putting all us adults to shame. Well done Lexy keep up the wonderful work.
