Thank you Dashing Diva’s for nominating me for ‘The Versatile Blogger’ Award!
Here are 5 random facts about me, one of the criteria I need to share in order to receive the award.
1. I have a large family and have been a Bridesmaid 5 times – I have 16 first cousins (including all their wonderful partners that takes us to 25!) I love each one of them dearly, and am blessed to share a special relationship with them all individually.
I wish I had a photo that included everyone! This is the closest I have.
2. I spent an awesome month of my life in the Amazon rainforest working on a sustainability project. There is no place more tranquil and more beautiful than the rainforest. Working with the gorgeous animals, fellow volunteers and the wonderful Peruvian people made this experience unforgettable.
Morning monkey duty
Tarantulas..
3. I have Coffee Au Lait birthmarks (sounds delicious) on my neck, arm, tummy and back. It is something that I am learning to accept and I try to love about myself – We are all unique in our own way, right?
4. My favourite fruit is bananas. I love them in my oats, dipped in peanut butter, mixed with yoghurt, on their own, in a fruit salad, served with curry, sliced thinly in a chocolate crepe…
Banana makes every breakfast complete
5. I love to paint!
The beach is the perfect subject matter

Hi Kelly! Thank you so much for the nomination! I really appreciate it! How cool that you lived in the Amazon for a month! Wow!! thanks again:)
So deserving, I love your blog!
Your paintings are amazing! The colors are so vibrant and make me want to take a trip to the beach ASAP!
The tarantula, on the other hand, looks terrifying–spiders give me the heebie jeebies!
Thanks Allison!!
Mmm, I think bananas are my favorite fruit, too… I have bananas and pb almost daily. 🙂 Thanks so much for the nomination! I actually did this one a few months ago, here’s my link: http://www.mommyrunfast.com/2012/01/23/versatile-blogger/, but I appreciate you thinking of me!!
Banana and PB- best combo!
You just made my night! PS. I ❤ bananas too. 🙂
Yay!
Your photos are too cute and huge congratulations on your award! Not many people will ever get to do what you did at the Amazon. Amazing and you deserve to be recognised for it all.

Congratulations!!!

I was so delighted to discover your blog recently – and this is a brilliant way to hear more about you 🙂 Congratulations on the award. Also, it’s great to find another Australian blogger!
Thankyou! Always fun finding new Aussie bloggers 😉
You are so deserving of this award my Aussie friend, thank you for passing it on to me 😀
Thanks! Only natural to pass on to you, love your blog!
Wow! A month in the Amazon! What an adventurous life you lead.
It was a great adventure! Watermelon coolers would have gone down well there 🙂
I love your paintings! It’s hilarious how you love bananas and I absolutely hate them with every fibre of my being.
Ha – polar opposites 😛
Whoa, you are a great painter. I freaking love that! I used to do so much art but kind of lost track of it when I got busier and in college. I hope to one time find my groove again. Thank you for the nomination! I will try and do it tonight!
Painting is time-consuming but perfect way to unwind! Looking forward to seeing your facts 🙂
Wow! 1 month in the Amazon rainforest!! I bet that was an unforgettable and most aweome experience ever!! I bow to you for getting up so close to that tarantula!! Ahhh!! itch itch itch.
And you’re an amazing painter!! Hope you post them more!!! I’d love to see them =),
Thanks Min!
So interesting! Love the little monkey AND THE PAINTINGS! You’re very talented. Beautiful.
Thanks Joanne!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!!
Those paintings are amazing!!
And I think it’s so neat that you got to spend time in the Amazon rainforest, I am sure you learned so much from that experience.
Yes – it was a very eye opening experience!
Wow- thank you so much for my nomination, Kelly! It’s very kind!
Your paintings are gorgeous! They remind me of the colourful art I wanted to buy when I backpacked Australia! Where do you sell them?
Thanks! Planning on selling them at Bondi Markets in the Summer, and in the process of trying to get them online 😉
When you do get them online, let me know if they’ll ship to Canada!
I am extremely jealous that you got to spend time in the Amazon. I bet that was probably one of the most amazing experiences ever. I love to travel and def want to go there sometime.
Love the artwork too. I consider myself a bit of an artist. I wish I had the time to make a bunch of pieces to sell. I still owe my friends a couple of pieces lol school gets the best of me. I wish I could paint though I prefer drawing with charcoal and pastels.
I love charcoal drawing! Haven’t done that since school..
That is awesome that you spent a month in the Amazon! However, that tarantula, is not awesome 😉
Haha – Surprisingly they were one of my favourite animals that I saw there :p
