Showing off the Post Office

I was astonished to learn that I have not shown any of you the front of our little Snowy Mountains Post Office.

We have now been here since March 2010 but moved to the area in December 2009 and we have loved every minute of it.

We have completed some major refurbishment of the outside - when we arrived it was a technicolour nightmare - and it looked nothing like a post office.

Husband even managed to put up a fluorescent sign which at night lights up our street and could be used as a beacon for astronauts in space!! LOL

September 2009 - lots a colours!!

March 2011 - 12 months in and she is red, red red!!

Welcome to my new blog look

Isn't it just gorgeous!!

All thanks have to go to the lovely Katrina from Media Mad & The Block who has just made by blog look and feel just the way I wanted it.

I will slowly get back into the swing of things in the next few days and I am looking forward to sharing more things with you as I progress through my new look!!

Enjoy!

I'm still here......

Just super flat out - post office life can be like that sometimes.

Also, husbands business is going gang busters at the moment too which means I'm getting up at around 5am to sort the mail and then spend the day in the post office - the days can be ever so long but rewarding because its your own business!

My blog is still underway to having its makeover but now with Katrina Chambers & The Block over and done with hopefully my new and improved look with be ready soon - fingers x'd.

I'll get back to blogging on a more regular basis again soon....I've missed it and I've missed you!!

Going GAGA for GaGa!!

Husband and I love GaGa and although I am a Madonna fan from way back (lets just say I've loved her for 28years) I am really engrossed by the way that GaGa is pushing boundaries and making people sit up and take notice - just like M did back in the mid 80's.

Her performance on ACA on Monday night was brilliant and I am incredibly jealous of the 1000 people who won tickets to see her perform in Sydney tonight!

Just Dance....with your Poker Face...LOL

Why Why??

After a week of looking at my blog and not feeling particularly inspired by its current look - I have taken the plunge and have employed the lovely Katrina Chambers to work her magic and make My White Homestead look and feel like it should.

I am really looking forward to seeing what she comes up with - I shared a few of my ideas with her and it will be so interesting to see how it all turns out!!

So I am super excited for all that is about to happen to my little blog and I hope that my 25 followers will love the new look!!

Stay tuned.....

The Block - Were Katrina and Amie robbed???

Well we in the Snowy Mountains thought Katrina and Amie were robbed last night!!

Their room was fresh, bright, functional and the attention to detail is to be applauded.

The urban industrial look really works with the girls and I think this will be a trend followed by many of the shows viewers over the next months as the houses are renovated.

I know that it will only be a matter of weeks till the girls win a room or two and I really can't wait to see how their house fairs when it goes up for auction - as a former resident of Melbourne, detached homes in Richmond fetch a good price!

Good luck ladies...
