Sketch #37 @ Sketchabilities

What an amazing day I have had. We visited the Addo Elephant Park in the Eastern Cape. It is one of South Africa's National Parks that has the BIG FIVE as residents. When you visit the national parks here you are normally very lucky if you see just one of the BIG FIVE. Well today we saw three!!!!! How cool is that.

We saw elephants, buffalo and LION. That was the luckiest one of all because it is very difficult to see them normally. We spotted them sitting up on a bit of a hill. We stopped and watched for a while and sure enough they started moving and they walked right past the front of our car. SCARY!!!!!! but awesome....

Here are a few of the pics I took. These will definitely be part of a scrapping LO somewhere down the line!!





How awesome is that. We were soooooo lucky!!!!! Made our day really special. We are crazy about the bush, so this was amazing.

Now too scrapping business. I completed a LO for Sketch 37 over at Sketchabilities . Here is what the sketch looked like.


My DGS and his BF both lost their first tooth at the same time. This is a pic of the two of them giving me a huge smile to show their missing teeth. Too cute.


All that's left is to remind you to sign up for my blog candy HERE .

I want to wish one and all a very Blessed Christmas. Enjoy time with family and good friends!! Thank you for all the good wishes I have received.

Hugs
Bev
