Today was our Local Show and it certainly was a day full of not only excitement BUT wonderful achievement for the boys!.
To start with, Adam entered his Guinea Pig into the Pet Parade - they came 2nd in 'The Best Kept Guinea Pig' - which Adam was totally thrilled about BUT then came 1st in 'The Prettiest Guinea Pig'! Here is a pic of 'Ginny' with her ribbons and her trophy - as you can imagine, Adam was SO excited to win his first ever trophy!
James had entered a few creative sections in the pavilion BUT his biggest achievement came in Photography! He achieved a 'Highly Commended' for his Cockatoo photo in the 'Junior Pets' BUT he took out the 'Open Portrait' with a photo of his grandfather that we'd converted to black and white! It was amazing to think that out of all the photos (many taken by adults too), James' photo was judged the winner! You can just imagine his delight - AND the fact that money was included as a part of his prize too!
Personally, I didn't achieve anything - *grin* - how funny is that! I had a photo in the 'Nature' Photography section and these two items in the scrapbooking section! I had hoped to enter more items BUT I just ran out of time to get more done - Oh well - there's always next year! *grin*
This was my Home Decor 'Off-The-Page' project
This was my 'Pets' Scrapbooking page
Here's a couple of close-ups of this one too!
Until next time,
