A big thank-you from my island getaway

This is me enjoying a relaxing holiday with family and friends on tranquil Raymond Island in the Gippsland Lakes. I have been holidaying here since I was four-years-old and it is a very sentimental place for me – my precious grandparents live here.

I’ll be back shortly with more outfits, shoes, bags and accessories I hope will inspire you and give you great ideas.

I would like to thank all my beautiful family, friends and loyal supporters for following my little blog. I’ll keep ticking away in 2013 and see what journey we take together.

I’m sure we will all encounter hills and valleys in this new year. I hope God gives you the courage and strength to climb the mountains, and once you reach the top, you take the time to celebrate the view. If you are enjoying the valleys, my prayer is you will be abundantly blessed to be a blessing to others.

On that note, I have to say a special thank you to my brother who has lifted us up while everything else is falling apart. He has not only provided us with a home but also opened the doors to his holiday house.

Our two week getaway has been the best holiday ever – routine went out the window – replaced with fun, frivolity and freedom.

My intrepid boys got to pat a koala, knee-board, paddle a surf-ski, jump off the jetty, swim like fish, play billiards with their great-grandfather, run around all day with family and friends, and watch New Year’s Eve fireworks on a boat. And I got to dance my booty off to some thumping tunes with great old buddies as we celebrated in the new year.

Can’t wait to see what the new year holds . . .
