Happy Anniversay


Anniversay, originally uploaded by Bio-hazar.

Well we are just back from an amazing week in Cornwall. We kept Mom and Dad very busy during the week. While we were down there they celebrated their 49th anniversary. So Peter cooked them a nice meal and served it by candle light. I did this quick LO while in Cornwall using Shabby Princess Happy Go Lucky free digital kit. We didn't have any internet connection, so I'm just uploading it now.

Enjoying Cornwall!


Just a very short post to show that we are enjoying our time here in Cornwall! We managed to get a very quick swim (Peter) and paddle (Shelley) on Monday morning. Just before all the hot weather started. Would have love to spent every afternoon in the sea, but have been busy driving Mom and Dad around too all sort of places. We've seen Birds of Prey, Garden/woodlands, Scrap Shopping, watching seals and lots and lots of eating.........

Belated Birthday


I made this card while I was on holiday in Cornwall. It's for a friends belated birthday. I took my Letraset Promarkers with me on holiday to practice using them. I was very happy with the results on this Magnolia stamp, that I decided to make it into a card. The basic lay out was based on an example in the latest issue of Stamp Crafter magazine. I used My Minds Eye Bella Bella Bellezo paper, MME Wild Asparagus die cut, organza, ribbon, alphabet stamps, Prima Artful Collage flowers, Prima Daisy Crazy Mackenzie flowers and a brad.

Digi Layout


Greetings from Cornwall! We are on holiday and I just couldn't have had a week away from my crafts, so have brought my laptop with me and done a digi layout. The photo is of a drink we tried while on Rock called 12" of pleasure. Which is a hot chocolate with mini marshmellows, whipped cream, two chocolate flakes, a huge meringue and topped off with even more whipped creams. Pure indulgence! Pure Pleasure! The LO was done using free digi kits downloaded from Shabby Princess. I used a mixtures of Happy Go Lucky, Delight and Sun Pourch. Well back to our hoilday, keep a look out for more entries when we get back about our time away.

Better Late Then Never


As promised I'm finally getting around to blogging about our Anniversay in Cornwall. So here it is.....

We were trying to deside what to do for our Anniversay while we were in Cornwall. We first thought about going to Jamie Oliver's restaurnt in Watergate Bay, but when ever we drove by there was no were to park, so we never stopped to look in. So then we desided to go to Newquay Headlands Hotel for an evening meal. A few days before we drove over to book a table. While there we desided to take a look at room rates just to see how exporberate they really were. While debating about staying for the night, the receptionest said she could show us a couple of rooms what were available for the night. She showed us two rooms, one with a view of the golf course and one with a sea view. Then she gave us an offer that we just couldn't refuse. She said that because it was our anniversary, we could have the more expensive sea view room for the cheaper now view room.
So we took her up on her offer and book a room for the night as well.

On the morning of our anniversary we desided to go out for breakfast and headed down to the local shop in Magawn Porth in the old convertated garage. We ordered bacon and brie bagettes and cappuccino and took them to eat on the beach. It was a lovely morning and the sun was shining. We enjoyed watching all the different people walking thier dogs on the beach and a horse too.

After breakfast I remembered that I didn't check what the beding was at the hotel. So I gave them a call and they confirmed that all their bedding is feather. We told them of my allergies and they ensured that the bedding will be changed. We then heading into Newquay and spent the early afternoon walking around and enjoying the sunshine. Then found a cafe and had coffee before heading down to the hotel. We checked in and the receptionist remember us and wished us a Happy Anniversary. She took us up to the room to check it with us. When we arrived the big bed that was in the room when we first looked at it wasn't there, but instead two sperate beds with a table inbetween. The receptionist apploigied to us and had housekeeping to come up right away and "zip" the beds together. We then spent the afternoon relaxing enjoying the view and our centry seagule on the windowcile . We had a nice long swim in the heated pool and were going to use the hot tub, only it wasn't very hot. So I spent some time in the sauna while Peter did a few more laps in the pool.

We then got ready for dinner and headed down to the dinning room. Were we enjoyed an amazing meal. We started with roast belly of pork on celeric mash with port reduction. Then Peter had a steak and I had chichen with mushroom sauce served with green beans and sugar snap peas. Then we finished dinner off with a shared chocolate fondue for two and we fed chocolate covered stawberries to each other. It was really the perfect ending to a very nice romanic day together. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Happy Anniversary

Sorry it's been so long since I've added anything to my blog, but we've been away for a few weeks to celebrate our anniversary in Cornwall. I will try to blog a bit more about that later. While there we visited a few craft shops, including one of my favourite little shops ScrapAngels. I managed to pick up a few bits and pieces in order to make Peter this anniversary card. It was done using Bazzill Bling card stock, Basic Grey Infuse patterned papers, Papermainia Sweet Nothing clear stamps Studio G Vibrance ink, Fancy Pants Sassy Posies and ribbon.
