Show us something in your house from the 1970s.
Well the 70s started this way
And then they went this way
Show us summer.
Summer for me always means trips to the beach. Well it is Australia, we're surrounded by beaches.
When I was a kid our family would get in the car and drive for about seven hours to holiday at the beach just after christmas. Dad would pack the car the night before and we'd get up and leave while it was still dark. Four of us kids squashed along the back seat of the car and the dog in the back of the station wagon. Being the youngest of the four I don't think my back ever touched the back of the seat. I was always pushed forward while they sat back. And as for sitting near a window - forget about that.
But I remember the holidays as being a lot of fun. We seemed to spend all day at the beach. I still love the beach. Although of course now I have a fear of sun cancer so I creep around under umbrellas and hats and sunscreen. Oh for the good old days of smearing yourself with reef oil and baking in the sun all day.
Hey, I think I'm wearing the same swimmers here as I am in the top photo. I can't believe my mother made me wear them for two seasons.
Show us the very last picture you took. No cheating!
Morning tea anyone?
Lizzie made these muffins for us. Brie and Bacon. Just warm from the oven they were simply the best.
Pig and cheese - perfect combo. And they tasted as good as they look. See that little bit of cheese, it was warm and soft.
Show us something that's been on your mind a lot.
This photo has been on my mind for the last few days. It's one of Papas slides. Not sure what year this was taken but the lifesavers haven't worn those swimmers for a while. And I have to say, they look pretty damn sexy. Much better than those nasty speedos they wear now.
So I love this photo for some reason. It's one of my favourites. And I wanted to do something with it but I wasn't sure what, because it's narrow and crooked and I wanted to keep it simple. So I've had it on my mind for a few days (and nights) and I ended up with this. And I really like it.
And I'd really like to give a heads up to Obsidian Dawn for the brushes I used for the sun and the clouds. She has some really great brushes available.
Show us a picture of your father.
He was pretty fancy my father. My mother tells me he was probably one of the first people in australia to wear suede shoes. When he arrived in the small country town where she lived in the early 1950's no one would have dared wear suede shoes for fear of being considered gay.
He was on a world trip and stopped to visit people he knew and he ended up staying. Don't think he was totally happy with that decision in the end. He's always had a yearning to go back to Guernsey.
Show us a smile.
My sibs. Love it.
And my mother and brother. Love it as well.
Show us your gorgeous eyes.

Not mine - but Lizzies. And don't think she doesn't know how to use them.
From the time she was a toddler, whenever we went anywhere, people would ooh and ahh over her eyes. Hasn't she got beautiful eyes they'd say. I knew they were creating a monster. She soon cottoned on to the fact that, hmmm, maybe I can use these babies to my advantage.
You just try and make her leave the house without eyeliner on. Actually thats where the nickname comes from. Lizzie, because she has Liz Taylor eyes.
Show us a photograph from a wedding.

Firstly, I wish that anorexic man would go away from my vox home page. He looks very unhealthy. I know he's done well losing all that weight but I just don't like the look of him.
However. Wedding photos. This is my Nan on her wedding day. I'm guesing this would've been 1930 ish
This is my Mum and Dad. Hmmm, mid fifties maybe. Love how dressed up everyone is. Especially that lady on the left - didn't anyone tell her not to wear a long white dress to someone elses wedding.
And this was just something I made for some reason. But the beautiful background of flowers was drawn and painted by Kimba. Honestly, I can't imagine them looking at each other that happily.
And Candy if you're out there I tried to leave you a comment but vox is foxing around again and wouldn't let me. I was going to tell you
1. Cool sunnies
2. Every time I hear that just one glass of wine a day increases your risk of getting breast cancer by an alarming amount, I pretend I didn't hear.
And Sherry I tried to tell you that your daughter is a stunner - gorgeous eyes.
Show us what you're working on right now.

Just needs a hook on the back and she's ready to go.
And these are just done - I took these photos last year - they were flowers Lloyd bought for his girlfriend on their formal night.
