Joining DIY

"What is DIY?" I ask Mum.

"Do It Yourself," Mum answers. "It's a site where there are lots of challenges.You can do craft, cooking, writing, animation, photography and other things. You can have a look at it if you like."

I rush over to my computer and flip it open. I am soon on DIY looking around. It looks fun and soon I am telling Gemma-Rose all the things I would be able to do if I joined.

"You could sign up if you like," Mum offers. 

"Really?" I ask, already finding the sign up page. 

Soon I have joined and I'm looking around to see what badge I will try to earn first.

"I want to try earning the Writers' Badge," I tell Mum. "One of the challenges is to make a blog and write  three blog posts. I already have a blog so all I have to do is take a photo of it to prove I've done this."

Soon Mum and I are trying to work out how to take a screen shot of my blog. 

"Press the print screen button and then go to Paint and click paste." It takes a while for Mum and me to work it out. But we work it out in the end.

I go back to the DIY site and upload the picture of my blog to my project page, and I smile.

"I have done my first project," I tell Mum. She smiles at my excitement.

I can't wait to earn my Writers' Badge and do more projects. It is going to be a lot of fun.

Are you on DIY? What is your username? I am Miss Fifi!

Picnic at the Park

"Shall we get some rolls and fillings and go down to the park for a picnic?" Mum asked.

"Oh yes please," we all cried.

We all hopped into the car and Mum drove us to the shopping centre.

We walked around trying to find what we wanted to eat.

"How about ham and potato salad?" Mum asked us. We all agreed it was a wonderful idea.

We found the potato salad, meat and rolls.

We also got some yoghurt and honey to eat after the rolls.

We went down to the park. It was mostly empty so we could sit at our favourite bench.

 Imogen and Mum served out the rolls and we all started to eat.

The rolls were scrumptious. We were all hungry.

After the rolls Imogen found the yoghurt. We didn't have any bowls to eat out of so we put the yoghurt in disposable cups and poured honey on top of it.

The yoghurt even though eaten in such a strange way was very delicious. I decided that yoghurt tastes nicest out of disposable cups.

It was a wonderful picnic.

When we went back home we were very full. I couldn't eat another bite.. We had the best picnic ever.

Edited Birds

I went on MorgueFile and found some nice bird pictures. Then I edited them on PicMonkey.

Which picture is your favourite? Mine is the second. It is so funny.

My Sketchbook

I was looking for something to write about on my blog and then Mum suggested I post up some of the pictures I have drawn and here they are:

                                                                     Manga Boy:

He is a boy that came from a book I once read. It was called The Penderwicks. In the book he lived with his mother and cook. He had no real friends until the Penderwick girls came and livened things up for him.

                                                                   Dick the sports boy:

Dick loves sport and has a weekly game of it with some friends. He is not from a book like my other boy instead he comes right out of my head and I am very proud of him.

                                                                  Queen Marie:
Queen Marie may be old but you do not see her in an old ladies' home instead you see her going off to balls and saving the day. She went to war once when King Ernie was too sick to go. She is not afraid of doing things like that.

King Ernie:

He is a bit forgetful but he is really nice. He once eat his fish uncooked and when his men told him he turned so red that if he had been in red he would look like a tomato.

Queen Emily:

She is the sister to Queen Marie though she does not look it and she rules the only kingdom that King Ernie likes. She has ten children and loves every one very much. She is loved very much in her kingdom and even though she is not loved as much as King Ernie and Queen Marie.

                                              
                                                                           Sam:
He loves nothing better than to get Albert in trouble and stay out of it himself. He is very clever though he will not admit it. At the school for young owls he beat everyone in the class and his parents are very proud of him.

Albert:

He is very naughty at school but only because he does not want to be like Sam. He lives in a hole in a tree and could fly at a very young age. He wants to be a doctor when he grows up and I think he will be for when he sets his heart on something it happens.
