"I have built a photo frame because when people walk in to houses they love to see photos around the place. This idea came out of a Lego book that I got for my 12th birthday in January, but I added some other special features! My frame is designed with an explorer theme and that's why there is some green tree branches and brown stuff everywhere. In my photo, I have put a lego explorer, I call him Davo and he is exploring an ancient temple. My mum is looking forward to putting a photo of me in this frame on our photo shelf, once I have had this photo in my room for a while. The hinge on the back of the frame allows it to stand alone without having to lean against the wall."

"'Dish Cleaning Station' washes the dishes which no one likes to do. The big flat part is the shelves, they are all different colours because they are drawers. The propeller at the very back is for spinning while the blue thing over it is water pouring on it. The thing with red bits on it beside it is scrubbing the dishes."
