WOYWW -still looking OK-ish.

Good morning all, from a very cold South Africa. School started yesterday and we are right back hitting the ground running. .It doesn't feel like I have just had 3 weeks of rest and play. I have to apologise for my lack of visits to all at WOYWW, I was hit hard by a stupid chest infection and could hardly lift my head, I did read all the lovely comments and  appreciate each and every one.

I am happy to report that the desk still looks relatively tidy after I cleaned.

 I did a LO of DD's wedding. Used a sketch from Let's Scrap and managed to fit 19 photo's on one LO. I cut the filmstrip borders with my Silhouette and used some cardstock.

 I have wanted to scrap this photo of my DH and his 2 best friends for a very long time, but it landed on the 'to do' pile and I never really got round to it. Then the guy on the left committed suicide and it became just that much harder. I cut the chipboard with my Silhouette, just to see how it cuts chipboard and suddenly the idea popped into my head. I showed DH (not knowing if it was the right thing to do, because he was and still is, devastated by the loss of his friend) He looked at it for a very long time and then handed it back to me with tears in his eyes and a whispered thank you.

It is moments like that that remind me why I scrap. To preserve those precious moments that we often take for granted,
Personal rambling to follow, stop reading if you only came to see the desk.
My youngest DD is a waterpolo player and has been playing goalie for about 13 years. She has been considered to be one of the best goalies this country has ever seen by many, but because of many reasons (mainly political), she has never been chosen for the senior National side -in spite of being the goalie of the tournament' at Nationals consistantly for the last 11 years! I am so very proud of her for not giving up and for working harder than ever this year.
She finally got the nod from the selectors and will be going to World Championships in July this year. The only problem is that Swim South Africa has just lost their sponsorship and she will have to pay her own way. She has launched a fundraising campaign on indiegogo and I am asking everybody I know to please donate 1 dollar to her and to share this link with as mant people as you know. Please help me make my special girl's drems come true. Go here to read about the campaign and please share on Facebook and everywhere else you can, you can also follow her journey on Twitter @waterBOKKIE1
Have a great week everybody, see you soon.
