Back With a Tan! and First Scrap Challenge for 2010

Well not really, Im just a few shades browner & 2kg's heavier (yikes!). My poor husband however got a tan... the painful way! Yes he got sun burnt... and he got it bad. He was in pain for about 3 days after surfing for almost 2 hours without any sun block on. He thought because it was an overcast day he would escape any form of burning. Well he's learnt his lesson.

Do you wanna see some pics? First I want to mention this awesome stationary store I bumpt into while in the Gold Coast. Have you heard of kikki.K? Oh my oh my! I am in love with their products! I have never seen a store stock such gorgeous stationary. I spent quite a bit over there and was pleased to find out, they sell online

aaaaand New Zealand has 5 of them!...1 just a 25 minute drive away! Check out what I bought -

This is such a gorgeous little friendship book that I am going to use as a visitors book for friends and family to fill out. I'll show you all how I use it once I have a few pages filled out.
 


We are forever loosing pens in our houses, so I thought having a white pen means that no one going to want to use a white coloured pen, so its going to stay put near the phone always... thats the theory anyway.

A weekly planner, looks easy to use and stylish. I got other little nicks nacks too. If you would like to know how to win one of these goodies, keep reading.

Here are my favourite holiday pics -

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was such a wonderful holiday! So many wonderful memories were created... and thats the most important part of a vacation, spending MORE time with the people you love. It might cost a lot and involve careful planning. But in 20 or 50 years time you are not going to remember the price tag... you will remember things like the kids blowing bubbles near the sea, the way they expored the motel you were staying at, and your husband looking as bright as a crayfish! It doesn't have to be in a far away country too. It could be 3 hours away from where you live! Start making those plans to relax!
