Coming to the end...

As the end of year approaches too fast, my last workshops were conducted at Goulburn Valley Grammar.  Thanks Pauline for organising these.



I love reading my Family Myths poem to the years 7's and encourage them to think about family myths in their own family- here are some:


  • we always have chicken surprise every night
  • we always have hot veggies, no salad
  • I always leave my car door open not closed properly
  • always put milk last when using a teabag



What are your family myths?

And finally my own design- a Christmas ornament using what I have in my own craft stash.
