Last December, Jenna and Erin entered the Paint a Poppy competition in The Gardiner Magazine and they painited their poppies and we sent off their paintings... AND, well, we have just found out that they have both won in their in their individual categories, Erin under 12 and Jenna under 18 years!!! We are all so excited! The Gardiner magazine was out in the shops today with photos of the winners paintings, so we rushed out to buy one. We found an Afrikaans copy of the magazine, the rest were all sold out:) They have both won worm farms and vegetable starter packs and they can't wait for them to arrive. I really love that they are excited about looking after worm farms and planting veggies!!
Oh my goodness, this mama is so proud of her girls!!
