I've been rather quiet lately because I've been working on my pet charity for the past couple of weeks. Traditionally the last Sunday in November or first Sunday in December (closest to month end) is the Toy Run. It is the world's biggest biker charity event. Bikers in all the major centres get together to donate toys for the underprivelleged for Christmas.
This year has been the biggest ever with 50,000 bikers attending the Johannesburg get together alone. Cape Town had 20,000 bikers. We're probably looking at a total of half a million toys being donated. We also had a blood donation drive. It just gladdens my heart when you see thousand upon thousand bikes with toys all over them travelling down the highway. This year I didn't participate in the mass ride as I was needed at the venue, so I also don't have as many photos as I usually have, but here's a few that I managed to take.
These are my toys I donated and I really loaded this poor guy down.
Some of the bikes
My baby
Even cars
I also have my first CU Overlay on offer for you today. This download contains the overlay as well as the sample paper.
And you can get it here http://www.4shared.com/file/73961942/ff97cd5b/CU_Xmas_Overlay.html?dirPwdVerified=1524a939
Love and hugs
