yesterday we headed to Sea World for the day. our
annual passes expire this week, so this will be our last visit for a while.
as you can see above, we left cloudy and overcast Brisbane behind,
and drove south towards the sunny cloud free Gold Coast.
it was almost midday by the time we arrived,
so settled here for a little picnic.
here the girls are standing in front of one of the many dolphin pools.
2 dolphins came in close for a play :)
Emily and Kacey then decided to brave the Log Ride.
oh and look! Sea World doing "Shabby Chic" 'boat' style.
checking out the sea slugs.
me and my precious girls.
in front of the sharks with Mike
about to watch the Sea Lion show
before leaving, we watched the penguins being fed.
coming in for a closer look :)
a fab day out. we then got home, quickly changed and went out for
pizza!
i'll be back tomorrow with more holiday adventures
and a furniture makeover :)

these 2 pieces of furniture were given to me from a friend
i thought they'd look great with a bit of a beachy look.
we let our girls choose paint for their bedrooms these holidays,
both pieces have been painted white,
they match perfectly, but i'm keeping the cupboard!
and i'd keep the drawers if i had a beach house....
the cupboard is in the outdoor area and stores
our family along with 2 other families (9 children in total and one on the way!)
another PERFECT day
the sun is just up, so i'm off to have breaky and then finish off a painting project.
yesterday we headed to Sea World for the day. our
a fab day out. we then got home, quickly changed and went out for
perfect sunshiny weather here once again. we are so blessed to have
i paid $10 for this one, but have seen similar for $60-$80.
another item i have been on the prowl for is a vintage school suitcase.
this pair of mirrors were also taken straight outside and painted.
they were a bit tricky to paint, as they mirror couldn't be removed from the frame.
2 lovely girls were selling off all their impulse buys.
i have wanted to make tea cup candles for ages!
to get started all you need is some natural soy wax, wicks, oil scent, teacups,
i put enough soy wax flakes in the jug to fill a couple of teacups.
once the water is boiling, place in a cake cooler and sit the jug on top of it.
while the wax melts slowly, pop a wick in each cup and centre them with
the kit i bought came with some scented oil, but i also used
all lined up on the kitchen bench!
once they had almost set, i then topped them up.
the wicks them get a trim, and here they are!
a little time consuming, but lots of fun.
