Here's how it works :

The first three people who comment on this post of mine will get some scrapping goodies sent to them. Then you link back to this post from your own blog, and you 'pay it forward' and the game continues, presents galore !!!

Hope I can get three people to join in on the fun!

I need one more person, come on Ladies!

I'm a bad bad naughty Blogger

I'm not getting any comments cos I've not been leaving any elsewhere, or is it cos I'm just a boring old gal?
hehe
anyway we had our CC last Friday two rounds of Bingo

I swear I'll never be sick of Bingo, needless to say I didnt win, and the priz was to die for!

We continued on with Diva Jode's Speed Scrapping Sunday at 3.30 pm .

What do ya recon ladies? pretty good for just over a hours worth of scrapping!

Our theme this month was travel, we had 3 Challenges, going with the trend happening around the trap we asked the community to decide on the 3rd, this was my effort, 3 diffrent alphas, 4 photos and a map, the Map part was real hard, think I managed it ok.

The Three Lives of Thomasina

I walked past the telly and heard the name Thomasina, and got one of those flash back, Black and White movie, a little girl late one night chasing her cat that leapt out the window...... does anyone remember this movie??
Apparently its not available here in Australia, I'd so love a copy......
its on Amazon, does anyone know about amazon??


One night, Thomasina runs off and doesn't return. Mary finds the cat hurt badly and brings Thomasina to her father, who promises to save her, even though he's in the midst of dramatic efforts to save a blind man's seeing eye dog. Like many others before, McDhui declares his daughter's cat a hopeless case, and has her put to sleep.







To say Mary takes the loss of her cat companion with difficulty is a great understatement. Though the youngsters of the neighborhood honor Thomasina with a proper ceremony complete with bagpipes and song, Mary feels all alone and she proclaims her father is dead.







Fed up with McDhui's readiness to put sick animals to sleep, Geordie's friends set out to put him out of business by passing along word of what he's done, even to his own daughter's pet. With his daughter not speaking to him and the neighborhood weary of his practice, Andrew McDhui is at a loss.








The Reverend Angus Peddie (Laurence Naismith), unable to comfort Mary, recommends that her father goes to see the 'witch' that folks are turning to in spite of his science-based veterinary. His hope, as is McDhui's, is that something can be done to make things right again.
