Well I am getting back into the swing of things again girls here is another late entry, but never mind as long as I can get them done I will be happy. This colour  sketch and  challenge comes  from http://thecolorroom.ning.com/  . This is another photo of my brother-in-law and his lovely wife Bev on one of their many trips away, but this one is not far from home. A favourite place for Vic to fish, drink and be happy amongst his mates and many  friends.  

When my son Michael and his girlfriend went on there cruise at the end of 2011 a surprise was instore for our Phebe she had no clue. The ring was bought without her knowing and kept at her mums house, then it was hidden in Michaels luggage, then put  into a friends room safe, there where a lot of freinds on that cruise that kept that big secret. It was New Years Eve and he rang his sister and I about ten minutes before asking Pheb saying he was so nervous, he had to run down to about level 5 to get phone service. I think Trac and I where just as bad waiting for the answer, we didn't get told until the next day until they arrived into port. But Phebe said yes, yeh we where all so happy for them both, I only wish I was there to celebrate this special occassion with them. This is the sketch and colour challenge I had to use from http://thecolorroom.ning.com/
