DON'T LET ANYONE EVER DULL YOUR SPARKLE ~ CHALLENGE SOUL SCRAPPERS

Good Afternoon!
 It is a hectic weekend for me, I had my brother come from Melbourne on Friday , he left this morning , I worked and more visitors this afternoon :) But last night whilst the boys watched football I scrapped :)
The layout is for a Tic Tac Toe challenge at Soul Scrappers. I chose the row that required the word Extraordinary , flowers and Music/Dance. 
I chose to scrap a photo my son took on his recent trip to Thailand and he kindly let my use it. I thought it suited the challenge when I read his thoughts on this little girl.


These are his words about his photo, I will type it up and add to the back of my layout .
"Of all the photo's I took on my recent trip, this is standing out as a fav. This is Jipor, a little orphan who is without a doubt one of the happiest souls I've met. She loves to skip, sing and pick flowers. When ever the little ones put on a dance routine, they all look to Jipor for guidance . This pic warms my heart and also breaks it. It will remind me you don't need much to be happy." 
I have admit I tear up when I read this.
Thank you for calling by and enjoy the rest of what is left of your weekend.

Love, Peace and Kindness
