Merry Christmas everybody!!

I hope that whatever you are doing today to celebrate christmas (or anything else) is filled with Joy, Love, Peace and Hope!!

Today I will be spending the morning with my mothers family at my Nanna's and Gar's house for breakfast and then coming back to our house to celebrate with my Dad's family for a late lunch!! I'm so excited:)

Have a wonderful day!!

P.S. I'm so sorry I was unable to get any posts of my holiday up before today but I've been so busy baking, decorating the house, shopping and wrapping presents that I haven't had a chance.

I'm back!!

I got back today from my 2 week cruise and I have so many blogs and emails to catch up on!!

I had a wonderful time with beautiful weather and calm seas.

I'm hopefully going to get a few posts up with photos and things we did before Christmas but it just depends!!

Anyway we are about to board our plane back home.

My Pajamas

In term four of Home Economics we were required to make a pair of long pajama pants and embellish a matching shirt.

I chose pink fabric with owls on it which I bought from Spotlight. I also wanted to make mine different from everyone else's so I made them 3/4 length, added a trim of white bobbles along the bottom and sewed button holes in and put ribbon through the top.

For my shirt I used a tulip shape from my pyjamas and blanket stitched it onto a plain white shirt. I also added a bow in the same colour ribbon as my pants just with a smaller width.

We also had to make a process journal but I did not have a chance to take photos of it before I handed it in and I will not get it back until the end of next year, which is very annoying!!

Anyway here are some pictures:

 The front cover of my journal (I still can't work out how to flip photos)

 My shirt.

And my pants!!

I was really happy with how they turned out and they are really comfy to wear!!

7 interesting facts about me {part 3}

Our Christmas Tree

Every year we chose a colour scheme for our christmas tree, chose out all new decorations and count down until December 1 to see what it all looks like on the tree.

Last year I chose to have a pink tree!! Oh it was so beautiful but this year we have gone back to more traditional colours of red and gold. We have chosen to keep it simple with just baubles and a few angel decorations and a gold and red angel on top which we've always had and was coincidentally in our colour scheme!! I think tinsel can be tacky so I love our tree!!

Our tree with no lights on, looking a bit boring.                               All lit up, how beautiful.

 Looking up from the bottom of the tree.

A bauble with my name on it, I think I got it in Kindergarten.

A growing pile of presents under the tree yet none of them are for me!!

 The angel on top.

All lit up, I can't wait for christmas day!!

What does your tree look like this year?? Have you gone with a colour scheme or is it anything and everything??

Holiday update {part 2}

Sunday: My mother and I went shopping to outlet shops and I bought a new pair of shorts and mum also bought 2 christmas presents for me, that I chose.

Monday: I went to my uncles for the day and played with and looked after my cousin N. We went for a bike ride, I walked and she rode, we went for a walk and looked at some road works and we played hide and seek. She is so cute and I love spending time with her. Her brother A was at vacation care as they had a special activity on.

Tuesday: I stayed home and re-watched season 7 of Greys Anatomy and started packing my bags for our cruise. I also had a doctors appointment as I have had a headache on the right side of my head since last Monday and last night it got really bad.

Wednesday: Again I stayed home and did a bit more packing and watched Greys Anatomy season 8 which hasn't been shown here yet!! It is so good!!! I didn't hear any news on my blood test for my headache, today.

Thursday: I finished packing and put everything in my bag, got heaps of things organised and really just got ready for our cruise!! I had a nice relaxing day even though the weather has been so cold and its meant to be summer!!

Friday: My family and I left very early for our cruise!!

How's your holidays been so far??

Headaches

Since last Monday I have been having this headache on the right side of my head only and on Monday night it got really bad. They don't get better if I have panadol or ibuprofen, only with panadiene extra which then causes other issues.

So yesterday I went to the doctor and he checked everything and sent me off for a blood test, to see if there was something wrong with the vain on my temple, I can't remember what the problem is actually called.

Anyway I should get the results back soon other wise he thinks it is just a migraine and should go away soon. I hope its soon cause it is very annoying and is driving me nuts!!

Oh and we leave on Friday for a holiday and so I would very much like it too be better for that!!

Holiday update {part 1}

Here's what I've been up to.

Friday: the day I finished year 9 and mum's birthday!! We finished school at 12:30 so M took E, L and I back to her house and we went for a swim and had subway for lunch. Mum then came and picked me up, I came home had a shower and then went to my Uncles place for the night as my mum had her Christmas party. We went to A's christmas concert on Friday night and I had KFC for the first time.

Saturday: I went for a swim with my cousins A and N and then my dad came and picked me up from my uncles. We then went home got mum and my brother and drove to NSW to visit friends. We got there late afternoon and stayed in their yard in our camper trailer.

Sunday: Mum, our friends and I went to Byron Bay in the morning to do some shopping but I didn't buy anything. We then came home for lunch, had a rest and then went to the lake for a swim. Our friends have many surfboards so my brother and I had a paddle around the lake and I stood up on the surfboard for 5 seconds...I was so proud!!

Monday: We drove home in the morning and then on mums way to work she dropped me off at my uncles and I played with N all day. We went swimming played dress ups and then went and got A from school. Mum then picked me up and we came home.

Tuesday: was meant to be the day I cleaned up my room and sorted everything out but I baked scones, surfed the internet and watched tv. I did do some cleaning and I un-packed my bag from my uncles (from Mondays visit not fridays!!) and NSW. I also sorted out my school books and handouts from this year.

Wednesday: I made a delicious pasta salad which I hope to share soon and a friend from primary school came over. We hanged out at my place for a while and then went to meet another friend from primary at our primary school to see all of our old teachers and current students. I had a great day and I don't normally get to see my primary school friends very often so it was very exciting.

Thursday: I put up the christmas tree!! E, L, M and I went up to our school to help with a few things for some of the day. We then all came back to my house went for a swim, watched things on my laptop and had a sleepover.

Friday: E, L, M and I went shopping for the day!! I was the only one who bought anything but its usually the opposite, I'm usually the only one that doesn't buy anything. I got a jumpsuit and 2 pairs of shorts. We then came back to my house again made some macadamia nut brittle and then they all went home. I then stayed the night at my grandparents.

Saturday: I came home from my grandparents at about midday and then wrapped a few christmas pressies and surfed the internet!!

What have you all been up to??
