The First Post

*drumroll*

Welcome to Black Velvet Shoes!
This being my first entry, allow me to say...

HI WORLD!!!!!!!!

I'm Charlotte and I'm 18. I live in sunny Australia on the Eastern Coast (obviously I like the beach :-)) and have 5 other siblings, Mum, Dad, 2 grandmothers, grandfather, aunt, uncle and 2 cousins. Here's my immediate family:

From the left: Me (don't look too closely - it's not the most flattering photo :-), Phoebe 8, Jedidiah 6, Mum Diane, Emmeline 9, Budd 12, Josh 16, Dad Mathew.

Here's a photo of us with the grandparents:

The one peeking out from behind Budd's head is my Grandma, Dad's mum and the two on the right are Gran and Pa, Mum's parents.

Here's a better picture of Grandma:

And a better picture of Gran and Pa:

Here's Aunty Gwen and Uncle David:

The cousins aren't really into pictures, but their names are Julie and Dave.

That does it for my family!
