the wedding!!!
ok girls... the bargains that had to go home can wait for another blog day...
by popular demand everyone wants to see Carrie's WEDDING!!
ok im a SUPER DOOFUS
i forgot to bring my camera to the ceremony part and i am heavily relying on Pearl, Angel, Carrie and everybody else to supply me with photos.
But i was clever enough to remember to bring my camera to the reception! YAY!!
so here is my very small collection of decent photos that i took.
i'll let the photos speak for themselves.
the wedding details
flowers: soft pink and white roses in a tight bouquet (fark i cant believe i forgot to take a photo of it!)

the wedding details
theme: pink and dark chocolate, romantic and delicate
the dress : gorgeous lace detail, very "Charlotte" from sex and the city - getting married to Trey (first wedding). i loved the delicate lace shoulder straps and the lace bustle, very delicate and VERY Carrie!
flowers: soft pink and white roses in a tight bouquet (fark i cant believe i forgot to take a photo of it!)
Speeches: very touching speeches from all speakers, Carrie as we all know very easily tears up (i think she cried during most of the speeches) , but the best speech would have to be Cheryl's, lots of great embarassing footage of Carrie around 9-11 yrs old.
Music - Tristan found an excellent band who does the "jazz" thing very well. They played lots of classic timeless songs we all know and love from Norah Jones, Nat King Cole etc etc.... really awesome romantic atmosphere.
thats all i can think of now.... sorry for the lack of photos.. (and lack of Tristan ..woops!)
when i get the photos from angel and pearl i'll definitely upload them all....
luv clio

holiday reading & viewing
just some things i have watched and read over the holidays...
finally got to watch this, its really scary but i really think a lot of it is true. how can you deny that a world population of 6.5 billion people will not have an impact on our environment or a drain on world resources? need to start being carbon neutral.
wanna find out how much carbon dioxide emissions you make a year? go to ...
http://www.carbonneutral.com.au/
you can also donate money to this charity to offset the carbon emissions you make... something i have to seriously think about this year..
my emissions were 18 tonnes, or plant about 88 trees or pay then $300 bucks to do it for me...
guess which one im doing? :o)
and ... just a little light reading over the holidays!
Marley & me is an excellent book for any dog lovers, i have read both the kids version ( miss J can read that in one sitting) and the adults version ( miss J can finish that in less then 1 day) .
Its an awesome book, and very popular over here.
Victoria Beckham - the extra half an inch - meh .. its just a book about Beck and her insights into fashion, i though there would awesome pics of designer goodies that she own in there but nah! nadda.... just looked at all the piccies... its all quite meh...
protecting your assets- its another one of those robert kiyosaki books but not written by him - one of his associates.. i unfortunately dont have any bright ideas that need to be protected.. this one is going back to the library today....
war & peace - whoa momma! this is one big ass book. i am right in the middle of it (or shall i say somewhere in the first 100 pages) - its set in russia, 1800's, amongst the rich and society people. its well written and some of it is quite interesting (like the ladies gossiping about each other & scheming their way into money ) but when it gets to the war parts -- YAWN! definitely helps with the insomnia problem.
anyways thats enough from me... next post.. is about the after Christmass sales... and the bargains that had to go home with ME :o)
