Holidays …

2011 saw many visits to Queensland, as DH was working there monday to friday.  This was great for me as my family are all there.  So we ended 2011 and began 2012 in Coolum on the Sunshine Coast, yet again with rain, but I think the East coast of Australia has had such a wet summer.  On to some photos of the holiday ..

It Christmas …

and it’s time for baking and making again.  This year I decided to make some goodies as chrimstas presents for friends.  So the kids and I have been busy in the kitchen baking Gingerbread cookies and we made chocolate chip and oatmeal quick bread in a bottle, ready for gift recipients to make themselves.

Have a wonderful christmas and a safe new year ….

I have always been fascinated with the gum blossoms, gum nuts ready to explode into colour … I found some beautiful ones at our local florist, and had a play with them and lots of negative clean space ..

Perisher

Just a few personal photographs ..

This year we decided to head down to Perisher, the girls hadn’t been skiing before, well .. they hadn’t even touched snow before.  They all had a great time, with an amazing amount of snow for the beginning of the season …. and only one fractured wrist …

Snowman building :)

On the way to Perisher we travelled through some strange weather ..

Sydney Photographer {Engagement}

After a few computer malfunctions I can finally put up a few previews of this Engagment session.  In Sydney for just a short time, and we had to contend with rain .. and so much rain.  The couple had suggested the Westin Hotel just off Martin place, I must admit I haven’t been in there before, but wow ! what a foyer.  This is the old GPO bulding and its absolutely wonderful inside.  Thankfully the rain held off and we managed a few outside on Martin Place .. Thanks for being patient the photos are on their way today..

Southern Highlands {Photographer Sydney}

A few photos from our weekend away with the girls.  A yearly event which proves to regenerate our spirits, and we talked and laughed till our cheeks hurt.  Bellmore, the house in Southern Highlands was massive, lacking a bit of finesse and warmth however, but it was still worth the stay… There are some photos of the house and some of the frost of Sunday morning..
