Here's a shrine that we made at our last CI workshop of 2009. The outside was created with ink and clear crackle paint. Inside was decorated with CI papers and stamps. I decided to use it to display our oldest son's graduation . He graduated after 5 long years at Uni in Edinburgh(he failed the first year too much partying me thinks) but he stuck in and graduated with a BSc Honours in Physics. I think it was the threat that he would have to return home to Middlesbrough that focused him. He is severely dyslexic and we are immensely proud of him. Now the next hurdle is a job. It's so hard at the moment with the downturn in the job market and the glut of graduates. He's working on a voluntary basis with a renewable energy company in Edinburgh so fingers crossed.
