~ A Stunning Success ~

Here are a few photos from last Saturday nights big event.  The fourth annual Stillbirth Foundation Australia Little Feet Taking Big Steps ball was a stunning success raising $80,000 on the evening.  

Here are the wonderful and dedicated girls of the committee before the event was underway.

I even managed to stay awake for the entire event and enjoyed my first night out without the kids since Indiana arrived.  I am looking forward to next years event when I WILL have a new dress and not be bursting out of the top of it.

Time to start to think about curtains for our bedroom in the new house.  I love the style and fabric in these pictures below.  I am off this week to track down some nice fabric - if you know of one I might like would love to hear about it.

~ Saturday Night ~

The Fourth annual Stillbirth Foundation Australia's Little Feet Taking Big Steps Ball is on again this weekend in Sydney.

The night once again promises to be a wonderful evening and while I have had to take a tiny step back from planning the event this year I know how much time and effort goes into putting together a fundraiser.

We hope to raise some vital funds for research into Stillbirth and I am so proud to be involved in this wonderful foundation that is really making a difference to peoples lives.

I look forward to sharing more about the evening with you next week.  

Enjoy your weekend!!
