"A portrait of Audrey, once a week, every week, in 2013"

Yesterday we went to Santa's Farm to collect our first 'real' Christmas Tree. It was an outing we had all been looking forward to for a few weeks and it did not disappoint. Upon arriving we were given a saw and sled and sent off to find the perfect tree for our family. You were so excited and joyfully lead the expedition. After finding our tree your Dadda cut it down (with instruction from yourself) and off we went. Not content to just walk beside your Dadda as he dragged our tree in the sled, you quickly found a discarded branch and carried it all the way back to the car.

Giveaway :: Hooray For Happy

"Hello, Hooray for Happy is a tiny one-lady-band run by me, Emily. I live in the Inner-Western suburbs of Melbourne. Earlier in 2013 we welcomed our daughter into the world and I started the new vocation of "Stay At Home Mum". Looking for something to occupy my hands, mind, and creative energy during that precious down time, I picked up some clay and started making bright and colourful necklaces as gifts for friends and as thank you's to some lovely people. After having a few requests for pieces of their own from friends of friends - Hooray for Happy was born! It's a fun, hands-on and creative hobby that gives me a little pocket money for pretty things and tasty treats, and I love it."

I think we made up for last weeks let down... As soon as the skies turned from grey to blue we packed up the car and set off for a picnic by the sea for dinner. We ate grilled fish and chips, sipped on freshly made juice, we explored the sea shore and you finally got that ice cream! You savoured every last creamy drip (and then stole your Daddas for a cheeky taste test)...
