today

So very grateful to have been able to supply photography our our local area for the new library cards of Cummins Community Library back in 2013. 

 

8 months and 8cm later

This is why I take photos. This is why I scrapbook to forever record the details of that moment the photo was taken. How else would I know that in 8 months there was an 8 cm growth spurt that these two photos pictorially puts the growth spurt of a teen boy in perspective.

I have flipped the bottom pic so Mr S is on the same side as the top pic to really show how much he's shot up recently. Needless to say Miss A is not terribly impressed by his new height status.

Instead of taking the time off during school holidays and kicking back, Mr S was on voluntary work experience at Five Loaves Bakery.  He loves to bake at home, and anything with dough rocks his socks.  

Work experience normally happens around here in year 10 and when they are 15 for school insurance purposes. Since Mr S isn't here next year as he's in college and he's already 15, we thought we'd get one in while he's still living at home as it was a lot easier logistically to get him to the 3.30am starts than it would have been in Adelaide.

To my surprise he loved the early starts and really got stuck into the jobs allotted to him. When he was home after his shift he stayed awake all day to his normal bedtime and was up at 2.45am to start work again. 

He impressed me and he still loves to bake.

Who doesn'tn love a large title layout. A pinch of chain stitching, a dash of Cocoa Vanilla Midnight with a serve of journaling. All done.

Keeping it simple and sweet to showcase the merit award from way back in the day.

I totally swooned when I saw Anri's LO on insta and asked her if I may unashamedly scraplift it. Like Anri's I too used the Sunkissed collection from Cocoa Vanilla. The Monstera cut file was Paige Evan's from the Silhouette Design Store which has been sized down to suit A4 size.
