COLORMESCRAPPY #50 AND WHAT I GOT UP TO LAST WEEKEND

Good afternoon, 
I am running a little late with this post as my last post didn't load on schedule while I was away.
But..... the new challenge is up at color me scrappy and we would love for you to join in with us

The DT have some gorgeous layouts to inspire you , so pop on over . The twist is to use texture 

This is my eldest son when he was a little boy and we were having a holiday with friends at Coffs Harbour.
I used a lot of left over bits and pieces that were on my desk to make this. The frames were the negatives from a die cut, the stars were left overs , the tag was used to use up left over mist.
The washi is from Craftqueen . The little sparkle confetti are from my Mum's treasure tin. CW template from Craftqueen. Thank you Annette for the white netting and I have also used Plaster's tape and mists.

The gorgeous By the Seaside flair is from StudioFourteen40 . I love their flairs and they have a fantastic range.

Thanks so much for calling by. Look forward to seeing some amazing entries.
I promised I would share what I was up to last weekend...... Well my husband is turning the big 60 and one of the things on his bucket list was to do the Harbour Bridge Climb, so......
he thought we were going to Sydney for the Leonard Cohen Concert (which we were , and it was fantastic) , but I had a few surprises up my sleeve as well.
Firstly he thought we were staying at our daughters on the Friday night, but we stayed at a lovely Motel near the Bridge

That night we wandered around the rocks ,and ended up in a German Bar/Restaurant and Victor enjoyed his first Stein

This turned out to be a really on the spur of the moment kind of fun night. We talked about what I would like to do on my bucket list and started making plans for the one thing I would like to do .... Live overseas for 6 months :) not going to happen for a few more years, but at least we have started thinking about it.
Next day we climbed the bridge !

It was fantastic and now ticked off his bucket list.

Then next on the list for the weekend, dinner at Darling Harbour and the Leonard Cohen concert. Leonard did not disappoint

We stayed at our Daughters that night and next day it was her turn to surprise her Dad. Chelsea and her partner Lucas took us to Doyle's at Watson Bay for lunch (another thing my husband has wanted to do)

So he got very spoilt and it all went to plan without him having a clue (amazing). It was a BIG weekend and we loved every minute of it.
Sorry for the long post

Love and peace
