G'Day Mates!

Today we're going far, FAR away. So far away, in fact, that as you are reading these words, our host for today is already in tomorrow. Known for kangaroos, koala bears and Fosters, Australia also has teeming metropolitan areas, world class cultural institutions and some of the most gorgeous actors*, er, I mean, landscapes in the world. It also has some awfully funny and creative people, like Katy! So head down under and check out her blog:

What Katy Did Design

For a special treat, we'll be giving one of Katy's creations to a lucky reader! It's a 15cm x 25cm (that's roughly 6"x10" for the metric-challenged) matte black vinyl wall decal of the Australian native Fairy Wren. How great would this look in a living room or a kid's room or even on a window? Seriously, this thing is awesome! Be sure to check out her Made It shop for more of her fabulous creations.

I know you're all going to be crazy jet lagged, but we're turning around and heading back to the Western Hemisphere tomorrow. Here's a hint: 

Natives of this area enjoy eating Fiddleheads.

    Okay, so use that first comment as my required one because I did find her blog, lol. I clicked on the link to her picture at first, then the one under it. I'm pretty sure I was just hungry and not actually going blind. (i hope) I think *think* I'm signed up for the Ohio tourguide but I'm not sure if I'm a tourguide or a regular ohioan, lol.

    This is going well for me, ha ha

    You forgot Andy Whitfield (aka Spartacus) and his smokin' abs.


    P.S. I follow!

    I visited Katy and commented! Thanks for tweeting about this contest Carabee. I wouldn't have found it otherwise. Crossing my fingers I get that cute decal!

    I LOVE this! What a great giveaway. I've actually been shopping for wall decals for the baby's nursery since her bedding is all birds :)

    I'm off to visit Katy.
