Rebecca at my cousins wedding back in 2004. The rose looks almost too red but I haven't changed the colour at all!
I absolutely love this photo of Emily and have scrapped it quite a few time already but I think it will be being scrapped again!! She really has got the most amazing blue eyes.

Rebecca seems to have found a new passion for cookery, definitley not something that she gets from me! When I came home from work on Tuesday she had cooked the tea and made a wonderful cheesecake. She is definitley a talanted little chef.
When we went to Legoland one of Rebeccas favourite attractions was the driving school, the kids had to sit through a road safety lesson and then were let loose on the road in their little cars. It was hilarious watching them driving around performing all sorts of illegal manavourers yet they all passed and gained their licenses.
I did this layout a little while ago using Sarahs Cards July kit, she always manages to put together such fab kits but this one has got to be my favourite! Full of October Afternoon papers which are just yummy. I was inspired by a layout in scrapbook trends to take the photo like this and have since decided that it is going to be a yearly occurrance.
On the Wednesday we caught the ferry across to Macau which used to belong to the Portuguese until 1999 (I think) when it was handed back to the Chinese, the buildings were lovely very different from Hong Kong. It was a really really hot day and we somehow managed to get ourselves lost. I really struggled as I had been up for most of the Tuesday night unwell so started the day dehydrated and tired. I kept coming over all faint and having to sit down which was a shame. Still a really enjoyable day though.
This was one of many shops selling meats, the front of this display is out on the street and bearing in mind it was mega hot I didn't fancy eating any of this!!
Me at the ruin of St Pauls, it was literally just the front of the church that was left standing.
I just had to take a photo of these electric cables, I don't think they are big of health and safety in Macau!!
The view from our hotel when we got back from macau, the first day where the sky was clear blue sky. It was such a breathtaking view, I was really sad to leave it.
On Thursday we had a great day, we started off with a bit of shopping at the harbour View shopping centre, it was set right on the edge of the harbour and the views from it were amazing. They definiely like their designer shops over there all a bit out of my price range!! Had to have a photo taken in this little armchair though :)
After shopping we went to Kowloon park, it was a lovely green space in amidst the tower blocks. The little turtles were so cute. After our walk around Kowloon we decided to go for a foot massage, it was soooooo relaxing I just wish we had had more time as I would have loved a back and shoulder massage. 
A junk in Hong Kong harbour, quite a sight especially when we saw them at night.

The papers are by My Minds Eye....again!! I seem to be really drawn to their ranges at the moment there seems to be such a variety of colours and patterns all of which are right up my street!! I also had a bit of a shop in Crafty Stash and bought some gorgeous prima flowers, now I don't usually do flowers but these ones are really lovely.

On on our arrival at the hotel this is the view we were greeted with in our room, it was breathtaking. The photo doesn't really show it off properly as it was dark outside.
The view from our window on the plane.
On our first day we caught the star ferry across the harbour to Hong Kong Island and then caught a bus to Aberdeen. It was fascinating just looking at the surroundings on our way there, so different from home. Aberdeen used to be a little fishing village, we took a ride on a sanpan around the harbour which was well timed as the heavens opened and it absolutely poured!! We went for lunch on the Jumbo floating restaurant, I expected the inside to be a bit like a giant canteen but it was really plush and the food was lovely.
After going to Aberdeen we caught another bus to Stanley, the journey there was rather hairy!! We had a lovely walk around the town and then the market where i picked up a few little pressies for the girls. The sky started to get very dark and then the heavens opened again but this time even heavier!! We were going to find a bus back but decided to pile into a taxi quickley to get out of the rain.
Day 2.
Inside the peak building to get up to the top you had to use more escalators again with amazing views!!
Health and safety gone mad!
Day 3.
Justin and I at the foot of the Buddha.
From the Buddha we walked to the Wisdom Path, it was so tranquil there it was beautiful.
The view from our cable car on the way down.
When we got back down from the Buddha we decided to go to a small fishing village called Tai O, we tried to find a ferry to take us there but ended up in a taxi which was actually really interesting as we saw alot more of the island and the driver pointed out a few areas of interest.
One of the shops in Tai O selling dried fish. It was really something walking down the narrow streets and seeing how they lived there everyday lives.
The amazing view from the hotel!
TFL and I hope I don't bore you with my stories when we get back!
