Brisbane Paper Craft Show Weekend away

Last weekend my great friend Monika and I spent 3 nights down in Brisbane city.  We go there every year on the long weekend for the craft show.  We only spend about 6 hours @ the show and then the rest of the weekend we just have the best ever time just shopping, eating out, catching up with other friends we chat to online all year and have a great time just being ourselves.  No being a Mummy or a wifey.. no one needs us.. we just chill.  So awesome.. And it is a great time to just be YOU!! Monika and I have a very special closeness and we dont even need to talk all the time to each other when we are in the room.  We just love being together.  The first morning I heard her on the ipad and on the phone but kept just rolling over and falling back to sleep.  When I did look at the time the clock said 10:00am!!! I nearly died.  I jumped outta bed and said OMG I dont know how many times.!!!!!!!! But all she said to me... you needed your sleep.. You were so peaceful.  Now how good a friend is she ?? LOL

Here are a few pics of our wonderful time

Moni, Kim from Warwick and I out for dinner @ Siam Thai Restaurant Southbank

Mel was behind us and was just being plain immature taking photos of us and sending us text messages while there was a talk on... telling Mon her pony tails were crocked.. and why bother listening when she can't see anything anyway lol

So there you have it.. lots of fun and girly time..  Nothing better than being away for a long weekend and doing what you love.  I hope you all who went had a great time.. Pity I missed a few of you.

Night night for now.. It is currently 8 degree here tonight and it is a bit of a shock to the system.. So all snuggled up in bed with my boys.. Life is good

Goodnight
