A mansion getaway

Over the weekend hubby & i  decided to take a short night  away from routines & have a kid free  night away at the most beautiful hotel located right here in the outskirts of Melbourne. When you arrive at the hotel you forget where you are for just a moment,it has a classic yet modern style, lots of history, a fancy restaurant and a Day spa.

once you check in  you really have no need to travel but only around the surroundings of the mansion.i arrived home yesterday feeling relaxed,refreshed and ready to start my new week with a clear head.

Had such a fun weekend with great company,lots of laughs,feel very relaxed and look  forward our next adventure with great friends & family;)

 Remember a while back when i was telling you all how i dreamed of having my own space and not  having to work on the kitchen table anymore...well the time has come when my lovely hubby decided to move all his junk out of the study and let me go crazy with it. WELCOME to my HAPPY space.

 i love to spend most of  my time in here when i'm creating,love the feel and the space,still needing some more little items to add in the room but so far i love it.
i have a huge table to work on and lots of room to add my art around.still deciding whether i should paint pur red wall but for now its kinder growing on me:)

Hope you all had a fabulous Mothers day,as always i was spoiled and loved every minute of waking up on sunday to a cooked breakfast in bed, and share all my boys gifts that they all bought all by themselves this year,especially the gift i recieved from my 5 year old son,as it was a MUST to buy this mummy a Purple unicon pillow pet..yes! i now have my very own pillow pet and i LOVE it as it came from the heart,it was that or a  a nerf gun .

CUTE ....right?
