Today is the beginning of another FAB challenge over on Creative Craft World, the lovely Sue has given us a gorgeous sketch to work from. There is no specific theme as long as you follow the sketch, you can flip it, rotate it do what you want as long as we can see the sketch on your card or layout! There is a chance to win a GDT spot for our next challenge.
Such a good job I was nice and prepared for this challenge as on Wednesday my 14 year old son Zaid got knocked over by a van!! He is so lucky to have escaped with only cuts and bruises and a broken wrist!!
He was very sensibly crossing the road at a pedestrian crossing and waited for the lights to turn red. Once the green man appeared he started to cross but some idiot in a white transit van decided to use the bus lane to under take all the stationary cars and went through the light on red and hit Zaid!!! Don't know how he managed not to get worse injuries (but thank God) as he was thrown about 8 - 10 metres from the crossing!
He is still shook up, as are we all, my 8 year old witnessed it and won't stop crying poor little thing!
Anyhow, here is a travel journal I made from paper bags for a family we are friends with who are emigrating to New Zealand after spending 4 months travelling around Europe!
what a fabulous project ... your friends will love it.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your sons experience - you must all be shaken by it... its a blessing he wasn't hurt more badly.

So glad to hear that Zaid is ok, but what an awful worry for you all. Healing thoughts all round Hun. Love the journal, its brilliant..xxx
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! So glad Zaid is going to be ok and hope your younger son recovers from the shock soon. And I am positive that dude in the van will gets what he is owed, he will surely loose his license with so many witnesses.
