Another page from Yvette's!!

Here is another page I finished on my visit to Yvette's last weekend!
These pics are from my trip to Nelson Bay with my friends back in February. It was really relaxing and cheery being in the pool in the sunshine with our drinks and snacks (so naughty!!) We had so much fun there, I can't wait to do it again! I wanted the page to have a resort kinda feel so I used the candy pink cardstock with the gorgeous blue spot paper and stripey paper, I love the combo, makes me feel very summery!! The OLD on this page is the "relax" rubon, I'm afraid thats it though! Everything else is pretty new (within the last 12 months). But, at least I got "relax" out of the stash!! Yvette and I ordered some stuff from 2 peas a couple of weeks ago, which I picked up when I stayed with her, so the flower stickers and the journal spot are brand new from that order. I love those journalling spots, there are so many different styles. Bummer they're all one colour though!!
Wow.. Monday already, where did the weekend go?
Oh, Mum's sale went really well too :), we were so proud of her! She has such beautiful stuff and it's awesome to see other people loving it and getting stuff for gifts (or sneakily for themselves!!) Relax Mum, your "exam period" is now over, so it's time to party!! How about a cruise? Lol.

Weekend Page as Promised!

Hello!!

You know I should really be in the shower and getting ready for work, but here I am posting. See how much I love you?!

Here is the page I finished on the weekend. It's a little shadowy cos I couldn't find a clear patch of sunshine this morning to take the pic, but you get the picture :). It's from our recent trip to Nelson Bay and our day outing to One Mile Beach. Most of my friends are Asian or Middle Eastern so have beautiful skin that doesn't burn. I, on the other hand, had to hang out in the sun tent so I didn't get burnt to a crisp! I did spend a little time in the sun but I hate getting really burnt and my friends will sit in the sun for hours on end!! (Yes, they get sunburnt a little too, Will complains that his skin hurts after being in the sun and I'm like "Thats cos you're burnt!!" its just that his skin is so dark you can't see it!) So I was chillin in the beach tent and opened my zipper window to find Will standing outside. We snuck a little kiss much to our friend's disgust! {smooch!} Lol!

The patterned paper on this page is by Scenic Route and is actually named after the town I grew up in! Yep, they have a Grafton range that is named after the little town where I was born! I can't believe they chose a town in Australia, Yvette even emailed them to ask if it really was and they replied Yes!! This particular paper is named Chapman St which is the street my ex-boyfriend used to live on. Lol. They have one called Carr St which is my old street, but I haven't used it yet. I only had one sheet of the paper and I loved the reverse side which had those cool waves on it. So I marked out a space under one of the photos and cut it out with my craft knife so I could have a bit of the wave paper on the front! Hehehe, sneaky! I love the little Lulu and Jon rub ons (the toilet people!) You know, when I go to do a beach page I don't have many beach embellishments. And you'd think they were quite popular.. not sure where mine all are!

Yay, thursday night means out to dinner at work night!! I think I might have a Chicken Katsu and a Chicken and Avo Sushi. Yum!

I'm Back!! And a slightly darker shade of white :)

Hi Y'all!! We had a wonderful time at Nelson Bay!!! We walked along the bay at Corlette, ate Icecream from the fantastic Icecream shop at the Marina, had Spanish one night, ate lots and lots of BBQ and basked in the fantastic pool at our house. Our house overlooked this bay and although the water was a bit sludgy here we still walked around in the shallows and the boys went kyaking and fishing here. Will did say he thought he was going to drown at one point when he was being doubled on the Kyak by Alex and they tipped over, I was like "Couldn't you touch the bottom?" "yeah!!" LOL! I would imagine putting your feet down would stop you from drowning... I might be wrong {wink!} It was so beautiful to see the late afternoon sun with the silhouettes of the yachts!

How cute are these Hermit Crabs? We didn't put them like this, they did this themselves!! Adorable! I wonder if they crossed paths at the same time and one had to give way to the other? That would have been hillarious to see!

So here I am enjoying myself in the really cool 80s Pool complete with cocktail table and market umbrella! This area was perfect for me cos it meant I was in the pool and feeling cool but still in the shade and not getting burnt! (Cos we all know tanning is skin cells in trauma!) When I grow up I want to have a pool with a cocktail table in it! P.S. that beer bottle isn't mine... the glass of champagne may have been though ;) And take a look at Alex, could anyone get browner! Thats the bummer of having Asian friends with really nice skin that browns easily... my whiteness is overwhelming around them!

And last of all here is Willy attempting a Bomb in the pool. Why is he still wearing his hat and sunnies? Who knows, they didn't last long in the pool anyway! Look at him hold his nose, isn't that just so cute! Not something I expect of a 20-something guy, but so Willy! How did the bomb go? Not so good!! It was a meager splash, but I held my champagne and the bag of tomato chips well out of the way just in case! (Hurrah to Samboy for bringing back Atomic Tomato flavoured chips!! My favourite- together with Light and Tangy of course!)

So that was my weekend, I hope you had a good one too!
