Hawaii Pages

Hello!
It's been a pretty good week on the crafting front for me. Mr Mojo has stayed all week, I hope he's moved in for good! I am highly motivated by my New Year's Resolution to decrease my PP supply by 20%, it makes me want to scrap and start using through some of my supplies! I still find I want to buy more and more but I've come up with a theoretical shopping technique that works really well. And in fact, Alicia mentioned the same sort of theoretical shopping technique to me yesterday in regards to clothes shopping, and I thought I was the only one who used it! Ok, this is it: Go online to your fave shopping site e.g. 2Peas, cruise around the site with a cuppa in one hand and a yummy biscuit, fill up your shopping cart with all the beautiful things you see and must have, get hugely inspired by all the products and ideas and once your cuppa is done, close your cart without buying it all, head off to your craft room and use all the similar products you no doubt have in your stash and have forgotten about or weren't inspired to use, and voila! You've saved money and used up your own stash! Trust me, it works. I constantly fill up my 2peas cart, shuffle stuff around, add and remove items and only buy when they have a totally awesome sale. I recommend it!
So I've been getting stuck in to my Hawaii pics in scrappin this week. Sorry the pics are so crap, I took them at night under my lamp and they didn't turn out so well! I hope you can still get the gist of it. We had such a super awesome holiday in Hawaii and I want to reflect just how relaxing and fun it was through my pages! I hope you get an idea of how much we enjoyed ourselves {grins}. I would go back every year if I could!
These pages use up some old papers I had in my stash for ages! YAY! The funky flower one on the top page is a Kangaroo and Joey paper I've had for over 7 years I'd say! So nice to use up that one ;) And the brushed blue BG on the second page is probably at least that old! The parrot rub-on I bought especially for Hawaii pages, its so cool!
I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! It's time for me to have some lunch and get back to my scrappin I think!

Oh they are wonderful! So bright and holidayee. Looks like you would have used up about four sheets of PP in those two layouts too!

There was a bit of a scagwwo at the wedding who i didn't think much of at the hens night. She topped it off by stomping on my foot which KILLED and she either didn't notice - or pretended not to!
