Both of those photos are fabulous! A great way to illustrate that everything happens for a reason, and even when bad things happen, good can come out of it. I'm sorry about your car trouble! I really love the colors you used. Just awesome.
Great Journaling! My siblings still talk about the vacation where the car broke down and they spent a week at a lake they weren't supposed to even visit.
Wow Deb, these pictures are stunning. Loved your story too. Things happen for a reason don't they? Your LO is just gorgeous. I love the shaped pp under the one side and the flowers on there are just perfect!!
What a wonderful story about a silver lining. I absolultely love the papers you used with these gorgeous photos! Funny thing is these are often the things we remember most about vacations!
I don't know where Kempsey is, but you sure make it look like a place worth visiting! This is a gorgeous layout that would be well-placed in a travel magazine. The PPs and flowers really support the pictures without taking too much attention away from them.
This LO is for Tammy's Travel Challenge - Challenge 2 Lost/Detoured and The Use Your Supplies Challenge Week 3 - Flowers. Hidden Journaling reads:We left home early Sat morning 16th April 2005 with the intention of driving till we got tired and finding somewhere to stay overnight so that we wouldn't have a long drive the next day up to Coolangatta. We had even booked the car in for a complete service before we left to make sure nothing would go wrong on the long trip. The car had other ideas. About an hour out from Kempsey, halfway to our destination, the car started getting sluggish and gradually slowed to a crawl. We limped into Kempsey and Pete said he doubted the car was going to make it to Coolangatta and we should stop. We booked into a Motel/Caravan Park for the night. At the back of the Park was the Macleay River so we took a stroll down to stretch our legs after the long drive. That's when I took the daylight pic of Kimberley. Later in the evening, I went out to the car for something and that's when we went down again and I took these two beautiful sunset shots. We were so upset at the thought of our holiday being ruined by car trouble, yet now, Pete says if that hadn't happened we wouldn't have got these great photo's.
The next day, we got up early again and decided to take the risk and drove on to Coolangatta. It was the longest, most anxious road trip I have ever taken. Fortunately, the car made it and we drove it straight into Von Bibra Holden. They were very helpful and when we explained we were on holiday, they fixed it the same day. We were staying at the Ocean Plaza resort and we didn't have a car for that first day. Luckily the resort was in the middle of the main drag on top of a shopping centre and everything was at our disposal. Also, we were visiting Mum & Dad and they were happy to be our chauffeurs for the day since we were planning to spend the day with them anyhow.
This was the first of the troubles we encountered on this trip.
