He's growing

Just thought I'd share with you, a very cute picture..

Winston is now almost 3 months old..

Cuter,cheekier and more lovable than ever..

Seriously,don't those eyes just melt you?..

Back home..

We have returned from our holiday on the Gold Coast, Queensland..

The weather was perfect..

We had a great time visiting the theme parks,going to the beach and just relaxing..

Haven't uploaded the photos yet (still in holiday mode)..

Just wanted to say a big thank you to some fabulous gals:

Trish from A dream House for Trish for bestowing on me an award..

Candace Ashley from Sweet Nothings for another award..

Ladies I will pass these on sometime during the week..

Another thank you to Christa,whose giveaway I won...YIPPEE!!!!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend...

Gotta have one!..

I'd like a new light fitting for over our dining table..

Like many of you, I adore chandeliers...

Then I saw this.....

I gotta get me one..

I have the gorgeous china teapot and cups and saucers,

I also have a very clever dad,who I'll sweet talk into helping with the wiring.

I'm sure I can pick up the chandelier arms at a charity shop,

And we all know what a quick spray of white paint can do !!

After our holidays this is my first project..

Hopefully it will all work out..

I'll invite you all for a cup of tea,so we can sit and admire the finished product together..

I'll be screaming..

Next week, I'll be here..

On this crazy contraption..

Embarrassing my teenage sons, as I scream my head off..

We are taking the boys to the Gold Coast for a week of adrenaline junkie fun..

If I make it back in one piece with an intact voicebox, I'll show you some pics ..

YIPPEE!!! I WON!!!

I am so excited!

I never win anything....Until now.

The fabulous Jessie over at Vintage Style Down Under had a giveaway.

Isn't it SHABBILICIOUS!!!

I was the lucky winner..

Thank you so much Jessie..

Pop over and visit her soon and check out her Etsy store..

Can't wait to show off my bag,in all it's RUFFILICIOUSNESS....

Goodness shines..

Out of total destruction and turmoil a light shines..

Watching the flood crisis on TV, one thing is apparent.

Aussies band together when the going gets tough!

People from every background helping each other..

My eldest told me yesterday that his manager(23yrs old),is taking 2 weeks leave from work to go up to QLD to help with the clean up because, he says, "that's what he feels,is the right thing to do"..

It gives us such great hope to see so many people helping others..

Aussie,Aussie,Aussie..OI OI OI !!!!!!!

Mother Nature..

Why is it that one minute we have the best climate in the world..

And the next,

It is tearing our lives apart..

There is no greater force than Mother Nature,

But I truly believe the people of Queensland are strong Aussies who will battle through this horrendous time..

To all who have lost everything and those still bunkering down we are all behind you sending strength,love and prayers..
