Playing with Cheetahs
Hello everyone, I think I mentioned in my previous post that we took a trip in December to Haartebeespoort where one of the many things we did was play with cheetahs. Now one of the few great things about living in South Africa is that we can have these encounters with many different animals. We have been fortunate enough to 'play' (and I use that term loosely 'cos you don't really play with them they play with you, you spend most of your time trying to get them to stop chewing on your shoes, jeans, toes and just about any other part of you they can get to)with tiger cubs, lion cubs, a baby Rhino, Serval cubs and even a baby crocodile, but my favourite by far was with the adult cheetahs. As we walked towards them they started purring and rubbing themselves against us, my son was petting one of them and when he pulled his hand away the cheetah wrapped his paw around my sons arm and would not let him go, so my son spent a good 15 more minutes petting him until the cheetah had had enough and let him go.

Call from the wild altered tin and mini album
Hi everyone here is an altered tin that I created from an old biscuit tin that I had lying around. I painted the entire tin with black gesso then covered the front, back and sides with papers from Fabscraps Calls of the Wild Collection.
On the inside of the lid I created a little pocket also from the paper collection to hold memorabilia. I covered the inside of the tin again with the same papers and then decorated a Fabscraps Mini album that came with the paper collection to go inside of the tin.
To decorate the front of the tin I used some of the chipboard pieces from Fabscraps and some more of the papers from the collection. I added a handle to the top of the box.
I intend to add photos of a trip we took over December to Hartebeespoort where we got to play with Cheetahs and visit some very interesting places.
Will post pics of the mini album once I have all of my photos etc, added.
