Travel #2 // Egypt ❤

Hello lovelies! Its Tuesday again so that can only mean one thing .. a travel post! Last Tuesday I started my travel Tuesday series where I will write a post about my travels every Tuesday until I run out of holidays to write about! Last weeks post was about Lanzarote, this week, I will be writing about my trip to Egypt. There will be plenty of pictures for you to look at :)

A few years ago me and my boyfriend went on holiday to Egypt. We'd heard a lot of mixed things about Egypt, but we thought we might as well see for ourselves if we like it, because everybodys opinions are different. We were so glad we decided to go as we had an amazing time! We stayed at the Savita Hotel, in Shalm El Shiekh, which was absolutely beautiful and had everything there so we didn't really have to venture too far. There were shops, restaurants, bars, pools and it even had its own beach which was awesome! :) 

While we were there, we took a walk into Soho Square. Soho Square is a shopping place, which is so beautiful. The floors were marble and all the buildings and shops were made of glass. It was so pretty! We didn't buy anything while we were there .. we just went for a walk around to look at all the statues and shops that were there. On the way, we saw a man with some camels, so asked him if we could have a picture taken with the one of the camels. He took our camera and we went and stood in front of the camel. He told us to sit on it so he could get a picture, so we did. He took the picture and next thing we know he has stood the camel up and is walking us down the road! Even though we didn't ask for a camel ride, we did get some good pictures! 

We also went on a snorkelling trip and to a deserted island, which was stunning! We boarded onto a speed boat and off we went. We drove past an abandoned ship, that had been there for years and is now an attraction, got to the island and went snorkelling. If i'm honest, snorkelling was an amazing experience, but all the fish swimming around me just freaked me out! I wish we had bought an underwater camera though because the tropical fish that we did see were beautiful colours and would have made amazing photos! 

All in all, we had an amazing time in Egypt, the weather was beautiful and were glad we decided to go! Here are a few more pictures.. :) 

Hope you enjoyed this weeks edition! Next week will be yet another travel post about somewhere else. If you are enjoying reading these posts .. please do let me know! Leave a comment, or you can find me on Twitter - @cloudsinup. 

Have you ever been to Egypt?

Wedding Card Box // DIY ❤

Hi lovely people! Hope everyone's weekend is getting off to a good start! .. Last July (2014), my mum got married. A few months before her wedding, I received a message off her asking me if I would make a Wedding Card Box! I didn't have a clue what it was, so I googled it. When I saw all of the beautiful boxes that was on Google, I was so privileged to have been asked to make one for my mum! :)

So off I went to get all of the bits and pieces I needed to make it. I used 3 different sized shoe boxes, which I got from a shoe shop who didn't need them, some material in the same colour scheme as the wedding colours, and then some little decoration bits. My mum had chose a cadburys purple and cream for the colours, which I think looked absolutely beautiful!

To start off with I cut holes, in the lids of the shoe boxes, big enough for the cards to drop through. Then I covered all the boxes in the material I had bought. I then stuck all the boxes together to make one big box. When it was all stuck together, I cut a rectangle into the middle box for people to put their cards through. I then decorated it with diamonds, some 3D wedding stickers and some ribbon. I also bought some wooden letters and painted them white to write 'cards' on the top box.

I was so proud of how it turned out and my mum (thankfully) loved it! I was so pleased to even be asked to make something for my mums special day, and I think making your own decor for your wedding is so much more meaningful. (And Cheaper!)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this post!

Do you like making things? What do you like making/ creating?

Much Love..

Travel #1 // Lanzarote ❤

Hi everyone! Ive been thinking of starting a Travel Tuesday series where each week on a Tuesday I will post about a holiday Ive been on, and what I did/visited whilst I was there. I got the idea from the lovely Bekah, who has a travel series where she will give you tips on the top things to do/places to visit in all of the top countries and cities. You can find her blog and follow her series here. To start off, I thought I would write a post about my holiday to Lanzarote. (Just to let you know, there will be ALOT of photos :))

Lanzarote is one of the beautiul Canary Isands off the coast of South Africa. The island was made from volcanic eruptions and has solidified lava streams as well as extravagant rock formations. There are alot of volcanos on the island. 

One of the things we did while we was there was a volcano tour. We went to Timanfaya National Park and saw the lava feilds formed by the 18th century volcanic eruption. They show you different experiments demonstrating the power of the heat below the surface. You get to see all of the beautiful and colourful rocks formed by the volcanos. At the end of the tour, you get the chance to ride a camal around the base of fire mountain. I would recommend going on this trip if you go to Lanzarote as you learn alot about the history of the island, and get to see some great scenic veiws. The only scary thing was the bus ride ... the driver didn't exactly drive slow around the volcanos, which had massive drops at the side of the road and no barrier! 

Another trip we went on was to Rancho Texas Park. The park is full of animals and they have sea lion show where you can swim and interact with the sea lions themselves! They have a large selections of meals for you to choose from and lots of outdoor spaces for you to relax. All the animals are living in recreations of their natural habitats. It is a great day out and I highly recommend it! There are always shows going on in different areas of the park, so you will never be short of things to do. It really was an amazing experience!

The beaches in Lanzarote are amazing! Me and my boyfriend walked to a private beach where no cars can get to. You have to get there by foot. And it took a while. After about 2 hours of walking with the sun beaming down on us, we finally arrived at the beach we were looking for. There was a little cafe overlooking the beach which was a nice place to get a drink and some food after our long walk. The beach and the sea was absolutely beautiful! 

Here are just a few more photos for you .. :) 

If you've stayed until the end of this post ... Yay!! :) Thankyou for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed reading and looking at the photos! Next Tuesday there will be another holiday post, about a different destination. Please let me know if you enjoy reading posts like this and your thoughts on me doing one every week? You can find me on Twitter - @cloudsinup.
