Meet our new family Member JADE, adopted from The Animal Protection Society at Southern River. A wonderful shelter for cat's and dogs that my darling mum and dad has been involved with for about 10 years or more. BOY! have they been part of the driving force that have seen major changes for the place. New kennels and outdoor runs for the dogs and new housing and kitten sheds for the cats.So much work goes on behind the scenes to network looking for donations for food and bedding which local business are supporting with great enthusiasm.
My mum works tirelessly for this cause both at the refuge and behind the scenes.It's known by all that if she left the place would fall down !
If thats not all she now foster cares for SAFE which has seen quite a few little faces staying for a few weeks to a few months in their home.It stands for SAVING ANIMALS FROM EUTHENASIA and another great cause for animals.
Finally finishes this canvas for my gal pal which is finally in her hot little hands.Texture paste, gel medium transfer and fiddly bits all in the name of good fun.
Tried my hand at doing some copper etching and lets just say Ive learnt lots through mistakes. This was the best piece and will definatley have another crack at it.
Off to Miss Saigon today for the arvo session with my mumsy.How wonderful that grandad is coming to take my two girls out for lunch today. A super day for all as master 16 is off to act and direct in preparion for the school drama festival while hubby is in Darwin.BEAUTIFUL !
