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

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!!

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...

Frosty Start

Brrrrr - was clearly the right word to start the day today here in the Snowy Mountains.

When I awoke I was still clutching my hot water bottle and desperately hoping Husband had restoked the fire for when I slowly made my way out of the bed.

I'm quite sure that there would have been many fences around looking like this....

Loving.....white floorboards

Ooo la la.....

Loving white floorboards atm and I am really hoping that one of the four couples on The Block considers using them on mass in their renovating....

Im Back from Christchurch But Shaken to the Core

Well I have returned to Australia albeit very shaken and sad for the residents of Christchurch.

I was in Akaroa on Monday for the major 6.3 earthquake and my goodness did I think I was nearing the end of my days.

My little room shook from side to side as I tried in vain to get to the nearest doorway! And then as soon as the shakes subsided I burst into tears!

I endured 40 aftershocks/earthquakes/tremors until I came home with my last one occuring just as I was boarding my Emirates flight back to Sydney.

A friend who is a detective in Christchurch took me through the Red Zone & it really is devastating to see what has happened to peoples homes, businesses and workplaces not to mention the damage done to cathedrals and sporting arenas :(

High Street Christchurch

New Zealand is though a truly beautiful country - the most stunning mountains that I have ever laid eyes on and the people are just so welcoming and warm despite what they continue to go through.

If you get the chance to go over and spend a few days please do it - they need to tourists to make some money and I'll admit there isn't much to do in and around ChCh BUT there is more to NZ then this one city so go on, book a holiday and take in the wonder that is NZ!!

Akaroa the night before the earthquake - stunning!
