Lake Wanaka & Summer Sunshine

As promised, some shots of Lake Wanaka.

Wanaka is a beautiful town in Central Otago in South Island of New Zealand. Lake Wanaka is the 4th largest lake we have in the country and is just b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. It's only about 40 mins drive from Cromwell, so it's nice and close to where I am currently!

I'm staying with a couple who run a motel in Cromwell. They had some friends over and decided to go for a wee trip to Wanaka with their jetboat. They were kind enough to invite me along :)

It was such a beautiful summer's day here in Central Otago. Really hot and scorching under the sun. I don't think I put on enough sunscreen, but I managed to get away without getting burnt.

Here are some nice shots off my shocking quality camera. Thank goodness you don't get to see it in full. I can't wait till I get my own DSLR!!!

Isn't it just gorgeous? And it's a lake. Not even out in the ocean. A very calm ride today. Loved it. Better than any family holiday I've ever had!!!

I would share other photos, but they're all either shocking, or look more or less the same haha.

Thank you for coming by. I hope to share some more things later on :)

Sorry, no card again

Hi everyone. Just a quick update.

I did manage to drive 5 hours and arrive in Cromwell safe and sound on Wednesday. I did pack most of my crafting things to get busy, but it's such a pain in the butt (excuse the expression) having everything jumbled in a box. Just shows that systems are there for a reason.

Anyway, I haven't got a card to share today. But hopefully some time soon. I had to reproduce an old card for my hosts as someone they knew just had a baby. I'm hoping to get crafty some time later when I feel like tackling that box of jumbled goodies.

I am having a fabulous time here. Everyone is so lovely here and the weather has been fantastic. It's 27.5 degrees here at the mo, and it's almost dinner time!

Thanks for coming by and I'll try and get crafty for you all soon :)

A Mini Update

Hello everyone.

Sorry I've been rather quiet recently! I just haven't had time to make anything. The one card I did manage to make ended up as a PaperCrafts submission so fingers crossed for that one! hehe.

I'm going to be out of town for 2-3 months for my studies. I'm off to the beautiful Central Otago town, Cromwell, on Wednesday and there for a few weeks to 'work' at the general practice there. Then I'm off to South Canterbury for my other runs.

Because I now have a car, I am going to shove all my crafting gear into a box and take it with me. So hopefully I'll have time to do a bit more once I'm settled. Unfortunately I don't think I'll have a good camera with me (not that I ever had a decent one), so you'll have to put up with my phone!

Anyway, I hope everyone is faring well. Will give another update once I'm settled down in Cromwell, famous for their cherries and apricots (and in season now too!!!). YUMMY! :D
