Queen's Birthday weekend

This past weekend was QB weekend so we had Monday off. It is also my annual girls' scrapping weekend away. We went to a beach house in Waikanae and it really was a beach house. From my bed I could see the sea and Kapiti island. This is what I saw one morning at 7.45am. I did get up quickly (still in my pjs) to go outside to take a few photos.

Looking towards the north
We had a lovely house with a nice work area. This is what the scrapping table looked like with five of us.
This was the view looking out the window towards the sea. Unfortunately when I took this photo is was rainy and miserable out, so the view is not really clear.
It rained most of the weekend but that didn't bother us - we were warm inside and were surrounded by all our scrappy pleasures. My aim was to get quite a way into my China photos. I decided to keep the theme colours to black, white, red and yellow. I completed two doubles, 12 singles and six half size (6x12). I then got a bit tired of them and did three other l/os. I planned the rest of the China l/os (another 19) so that I could get additional photos when I come home. And Yay! Harvey Norman have a 9 cent special starting today. I will carry on with those China l/os at our monthly crop and also when I go to Senz at the end of June. What a great weekend I had!

Saturday night is Ross' Formal and I will have more photos to scrap from that - thank goodness for the special on printing! Check back Sunday as I will hopefully be able to load some Formal photos then
