I still call Australia home

I'm always travelling, I love being free
and so I keep leaving the sun and the sea
but my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home...


I'm scrapping in with barely 30 minutes to spare but, I hope all my fellow Aussie SLers had a wonderful Australia Day!

<3

When this road gets crazy and tries to break me
and I've had all I can stand
I can close my eyes no matter where I am

Extend A Helping Hand - The Queensland Flood Appeal


I am a Queenslander, this is a statement I have often made with pride, today it is with desperation, despite the fact that  I am one of the lucky ones.  I have seen some flooding in my suburb but for the most part my home is safe with only a few minor puddles in the backyard.  I have both my parents and my grandparents currently residing with me as they have had to evacuate their homes.  I have friends and family all over the state that are stranded and have lost everything.  I know people on my plurk that have loved ones that are unaccounted for and I am aware of many other Australian Second Life residents that are bracing themselves as the waters continue to rise.   My heart, along with millions of others, is breaking as our state drowns. 

As i am writing this, Queensland has now been declared a Disaster area.  Some three-quarters of the state is currently being effected in some way by rising water.  More than 100,000 homes are without power, 12 people have been confirmed dead with another 50+ missing.  More than 20,000 properties in Brisbane alone are expected to suffer major flooding by 4am tomorrow morning as the Brisbane river continues to overflow, engulfing all in it's path and that is only one of a handful of scenarios being seen around this state.  More concerning is that most of these people are not covered for flooding by insurance as insurance companies, since 1974, have not offered it as an option.

We are desperate and we need your help.  Sanura Sakai, along with dozens of very generous vendors, has put together the Extend A Helping Hand Market to raise money for the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal, all funds donated to this appeal will be going to help the victims of the Queensland Flood Disaster.   There are some truly wonderful items available, many of them exclusive to the event, such as the gorgeous dress I am wearing in the above picture.   So please, dig deep if you can and if you can't, please keep us in your thoughts as we prepare for the worst.

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Silver


I knew as soon as I saw that the colour for last week was silver that I would finally get the opportunity to use this gorgeous necklace from Grixdale that I picked up during a Project Themory months ago.  I was a little concerned about what I was going to wear with it though, as just a cork didn't really seem appropriate, fortuntely the opening of the new Erractic store solved that problem for me.

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Cerise

And of course my first post for the new year is a catch up one, i think cerise was the colour of the week, umm  2 weeks ago now.. oops my bad!  I blame lateness on Christmas, New Years and that fact that Dell still has not delivered the computer that I purchased close to a month ago.  But bitching ain't gonna get me caught up so moving right along.


I hope you all had a fabulous New Years and 2011 turns out to be everything you want it to be!  Also, i'm going to be changing a few bits and pieces around on this little patch of dirt I call my blog, starting with the inclusion of the designers names in the credits, I often search this way to find particular stores and find it useful so hopefully you guys will too.
