Stylish Blogger Award

WOOOT WOOT!!!

Me, a stylish blogger, YAY!!!

I have always wanted to be stylish in some way!

I have to say a huge THANK YOU to

Michelle at Faith Trust & A little pixie dust

for passing on The Stylish Blogger Award

Michelle is a wife, mum & interior decorator. She is a wonderful caring lady who does a lot of great things in her community.

Michelle is also very creative often showcasing some wonderful crafty projects.

Drop by & say Hi to her!!

Now I am supposed to tell you a few things about myself

&

then pass this award onto a few other bloggers.

About Moi!!!

When I was an apprentice hairdresser, my dream was to own my own salon, it took me 20yrs,

 but I did it!!!

When I worked as a fitness instructor, I dreamt of owning a personal training studio,

I did that!!

AMBITION

"Aspire to climb as high as one dreams"

Now I am a stay at home mum & I appear to have lost my MO JO,

I  have NO dreams in the career department...

I hope it returns soon!!!

Having children has taught me to be a little less obsessive about my home,

I love to see things perfectly polished & in place, but some days its like fighting a loosing battle...

Oh well, tomorrow is another day!!!

Since I have began blogging I have really started to admire peoples photography skills & have a real desire to become more skillful in this area.

I have asked my dream guy if he will buy me a digital SLR camera for Xmas & a basic photography course to go with it. I would like to learn how to use all of the features on my new camera right from the start.

Blogs I would like to pass the Award to...

Tina at Rubies Place

Tina is a real inspiration to me, she is a mum to 3 gorgeous girls, a wife, she is doing a university degree to be a primary school teacher, she has an Etsy store full of her beautiful creations & she still finds time to decorate her own home, oh & email me some little tid bits of inspiring ideas she just knows will melt my heart

. A modern day wonder woman I say!!!

Drop by Tina's blog & her etsy store for some good old fashioned rural Australian inspiration!!!

Jane at The girl in the brick house

Jane is another one of those inspirational bloggers ya just gotta meet. Jane's blog is about the journey she , her hubby & two girls have embarked on to knock down their two bedroom cottage in Sydney, recycle & reuse many of the materials to rebuild a fantastic environmentally responsible dream home. I'm loving her story so far.

This week Jane also surprised her followers by announcing she had just published her first novel, now to me that is impressive!!!

Doesn't the cover look fabulous!!!

Drop by & catch up with Jane, you will love her!!!

Kerri at Driftwood Interiors

Kerri is another amazing talent I have come to admire in the land of blog.

Kerri is an artist & designer, a wife & a mum & her achievements are very inspiring. She recently started selling her incredible art work thru her new Etsy store & I don't think she has slowed down since, producing one master piece after another.

When I eventually get a house, one of my first shopping ventures will be to Kerri's to get some fabulous art.

You will also want to check out the super stylish renovating & decorating she does in her own home, its really lovely!!

Now I found this part a little traumatic & could probably just publish my whole blog roll for this award as

I LUUURVE YOU ALLL!!!!!

Have a lovely weekend every one!

CHEERS

My First Blog Award!!!!!

Thank You Kym At Kyandra Rose for honouring me with my FIRST ever Blog Award... I was beside myself with excitement!!!

It has made me feel like I am a real  blogger...Yipee!!!!

Thank You Kym for making my day & being such a fabulous support, its great to know someone with so much talent is enjoying my blog!!!!

Kym has a beautiful blog with some very inspirational decorating ideas, she also shares my clock addiction!!!Kym  manages to do all these amazing things whilst working as a teacher & being a mum, I think that is impressive.

 I am a SAHM & write my blog because I was looking for a challenge & I wanted to have something to do, other than just being a housewife & mum. I couldn't imagine trying to fit in a full time job. 

I take my hat off to all you clever people that work & blog...

WELL DONE!!!

Now the award rules are that I have to list seven things about me

So here goes:

1. I have 4 children, 3 girls & 1 boy & they bring me a huge amount of joy, but like all mums cause me the most worries in life as well.

2. My husband is by far the most inspiring & motivating person in my life.

3. My sister Erin is definitely my biggest supporter in EVERYTHING I do & is also my partner in Design crime... I cant live without her ( she is also my partner in wine crime, LOL)

4. Teaching my teenage daughter to drive is by far the most challenging & terrifying task I have ever  had to undertake.

5. It makes me crazy if someone sits on my bed after I make it, I love to see a beautifully made bed decorated with lost of fabulous pillows!!!

6.I love an organised home with lots of storage.

& lucky No. 7

I have been so inspired by the talent I have come across since I started reading so many amazing blogs, that I now have very huge aspirations to refurbish, upholster & paint things, rather than purchase everything brand new.

 For this I say THANK YOU!!!!

The second Privilege is that I get to Pass this honour onto 15 other Fabulous Blogs.
