Day 14: Today is my day off

With my feet in the pool I was planning things to do for today.
My sweet dog Lola came to sit beside me, also with her ​​legs in the water...that was a funny moment.


Happy weekend all!

Pretty green tea

Arizona Green Tea is a refreshing drink, but what's even more fun about this tea is the bottle.
Here are a few nice things made of this pretty bottle, which I have seen on one of my favorite websites Pinterest


You can buy this tea at almost every local supermarket on Curacao, yay!

D.I.Y. Photo album

As a 'farewell' gift, I made this photo album for my friend Anne, who has left the island since yesterday.
Photos
 are always the best memory.. 


You need:
Your own photos
Scissor or hobby knife
A small piece of rope
Magazines
Glue


Description:
1. Cut the pictures to the right size.
2. Collect some magazines or pretty paper, where you can cut out the same size as the photos
3. Make a small hole above each photo (left)
4. The rope goes through the hole and make a knot




I used Flow magazine for the back of the photos and the inspiration from Elsie's Photo Journal E-course.

Day 13: From Canada with love

After almost 4 months, we finally received mail! The postman did not even have to step out of his car, I was ready to welcome him. And between the pile of bills, I saw a beautiful pink envelope from Canada, with love.
Thanks Crystal!

Day 12: Campfire on the beach

There is something about campfire.  I love the hippie atmosphere  and it gives me  a feeling of freedom.  Bbq with friends on the beach, is one of my favorite things to do.  I love Saturday afternoons.

Day 11: Sushi and prosecco at the beach

Yesterday, we have surprised our friend Maaike for her birthday.
It was a great evening, lots of laughs and we all enjoyed the sushi and prosecco on the beach.

When we drove home, Maaike and I decided to wake up the neighborhood with our singing skills at the Kabuya Snek. That's where they have karaoke night every Thursday.

Day 12: Today I have a hangover..

Day 9: Today we took a long walk

Actually this forest is locally known as the 'zoutpannen' or 'knoek'. We walked for an hour in the blazing sun and the dogs loved it. Poor Rick James took a little break to recover while the ladies - Lola Vegas and Polly Maggoo- ran into the water, chasing birds.

Today I sent mail to Holland.
