Today is my last day of blogging for 2012. Mark finishes work today too, so we're going to be spending lots of time with our three girls, our family and friends. Merry Christmas to you all, and thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy lives to visit my blog. I really appreciate it, and love sharing the things that inspire me. Have a wonderful Christmas break and I'll be back in the New Year.

Talking of the new year, I'm very excited to let you know about my new business which will be officially launched in January 2013. I've teamed up with my awesome friend Dael, and together we will be offering interior decorating and styling services. If you live in Hawke's Bay and have a home or business that needs some styling advice, we can help. And we will also offer an e-service for those of you who live outside of our beautiful city.

The following photos are my home. Colour and pattern are my trade mark, and you'll see I have a love of deer and birds. But our job will be to find your style, and inject your personality into your space. When our website goes live I'll let you know via Facebook and Twitter and will add a link on this blog - so watch this space. x
