Time out cruising...

Hi all, Ive just got back from a 4 day comedy cruise, short and sweet!



I recommend it highly, apart from getting out on the high seas, enjoying the fresh air and of course, the entertainment on board, it was enough time to relax and have time out from the regular turmoil of life!


Though I have to say it isnt for the weak, Bass Strait gave us some of its toughest punches!
Having never 'cruised' before, I only had 'The Love Boat' to go by, lol, well let's just say, it wasnt quite the same...

So we travelled from Newcastle to Melbourne, with a full day of shopping, then cruised our way back.




 With cash burning a hole in my wallet, I had full intentions of spending up at the Queen Victoria Markets, and then heading over to DFO for some great bargains. I went with a wonderful group of people , quite diverse, and interesting.
We laughed our way across the seas!



Apart from buying a few things from the P & O shop on board, truth be told, I only bought one thing at the markets....isnt that always the way, cant spend it when youve got it?
I may not ever wear it, but thought it was cute enough to add to my collection!
(will show you that another time)


And now Im back at work, how quickly we fall back into our lives and daily activities. Im finally getting my landlegs back, and have a few hurdles and speedbumps to work through before my next adventure in June/July.

On the home front, my kitchen is progressing slowly...too many interruptions!

So where does Junkstudio stand these days?  Mmmm, will get back to you on that one....bare with me.

Thinking time...


Well a couple of days away wasnt enough time, but it helped clear the mind,(a bit), and catch up with my parents. My father should be home from hospital tonite, if not tomorrow, and is starting to feel a bit better, though a long road ahead I guess...


They live near the beach, and I live in the mountains, so ten mins after leaving mum, I cant help but pull into a parking spot and stop and walk in the sand, and just take in the moment! I love taking photos of the water and rocks, it's like taking time to smell the roses,except it's breathing in the salty sea air, and clearing the mind of all those little things nagging in your head! I even had time to run into a junk shop just up the road from the beach....and I bought a couple of things,of course!

Im still without a voice, unless I yell, but it gives the kids something to amuse themselves with! So today, Im a bit slow off the mark, but hope to be full -swing into it tomorrow! Ive decided what I cant finish, can always be ready for next sale, and I can still put them on my website between sales....Yeh, I keep telling myself that, but the disappointment keeps raring its head!I need to get better, or I wont be able to have a sale at all!!


Ive listed a couple of things on ebay for tonite, so do go and check them out, and have a great day!
