New York City: The Photos

This is the last in my 'New York' series sadly. It was a really amazing trip and I'm so grateful to my parents for taking us because it really was the best holiday of my life. Everything about New York is incredible not only are all the buildings massive, everywhere is so busy all the time, even in the middle of the night and it's so loud as well, there's always people talking and car horns beeping and adverts playing on the big screens. I'd love to go back again and hopefully will in the future. We managed to get most of the things done that we wanted to except for Ellis Island, here is our itinerary of sorts..

Day 1-The Rockefeller centre, Time square shopping in MAC, Aeropostale and the Disney Store and we went to St Patricks Cathedral

Day 2-Time Square, Bryant Park, Central Park, Bloomingdale's, 5th Avenue, Trump Tower, The Avengers Station, Queensboro Bridge and the Rockefeller at night.

Day 3- Staten Island Ferry, Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street, Ground Zero and the 9/11 memorial plus my brother and dad went on a helicopter trip round the city for my dad's birthday present off of my aunt.

Day 4- The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum and Macy's department store.

Day 5- Empire State Building, New York Library and the children's exhibit plus we went to see Chicago the musical.

Day 6- Mainly Shopping and then the flight home

 The 9/11 memorial fountains which are hauntingly beautiful

 Here is a picture of the view from the Empire State Building which I think really shows how busy and huge and complicated, yet beautiful New York City is.

And finally a beautiful picture of the sunset from the plane on the way home.

That wasn't all of the photos I took of New York but if I put them all on, you'd be here for a week.

I hope you have a lovely time on your holidays if you're going away!

Make-up Compact Photo Album

I made a tiny, mini little photo album today out of the compact from my old pressed powder. Once the powder was finished I cleaned it out and kept it because I just couldn't bare to throw it away because I knew I could repurpose it. Then today I stumbled across the perfect upcycle tutorial here and this is how mine turned out...

 You can follow the tutorial over on Bursts Of Creativity really easily so I won't bother putting one up myself so just follow the above link for the tutorial.

But I also used my typewriter to type up the words rather than a computer or stamps as I found my mums old typewriter in the loft and haven't stopped using it since, I just love it. The quote on the front is one that my friend had told be the day before and it seemed somehow fitting, the first half is on the front and when you open it up you  get the second half of it. It reads 'Memories aren't recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics... They can be lost forever'Its the quote from the beginning of Lady Gagas 'Marry The Night' music video and I must admit I really do like it even though its quite sad really when you think about it, but now, whenever I look at it I will think of my friend :D
