Drilling Holes

My oldest daughter, back in early April 2007, helping her dad put up a little gate for the stairs to keep her then 9 month old little sister from falling down.  As soon as her dad brought up his tool kit she went and got her own - and mimicked everything he did.  It was fun to watch :)

I used Studio Blagovesta's fabulous Capturing Life: May at Scrapbook Graphics, as well as a template from Studio Ztampf! which was available during the August Birthday Bash at Scrapbook Graphics.

Eruption

There is a volcanic eruption in Iceland right now.  So far, it's a "tourist eruption" meaning, it's beautiful to look at but not causing anyone any harm or difficulties, since it's in the middle of the country, an area which is totally uninhabited. 
It's been a popular site for photographers - and the photos in my layout are courtesy of the University of Iceland's Department of Earth Science.
