Day Dreaming...

Well the Summer holidays are in full swing here! This Summer we are going to stay home and do some home improvements, and today we started repainting the house & roof. We'll keep the same colours, but will respray them to freshen things up. The colour of the house is called French Vanilla, and the colour of the roof is called Madagascar Blue (it's a Jacaranda bluey/lilacy colour. And being that the Jacaranda trees are my favourite, and our roof is that colour, now you know how I came to call my blog Jacaranda Cottage!). Anyway, today I am going to leave you with some photo's of where we spent our Summer vacation last year, on an island called Daydream Island, which is a part of the Whitsunday Islands, Queensland, Australia. We were here for a month over Christmas and New Year. The hotel was decorated for a tropical Christmas. The big thing on the wall that looks like a huge painting, is actually a fish tank built into the wall and full of tropical fish, just like in Finding Nemo. It's a gorgeous place to stay. Tomorrow I'll show some more photo's of our time up there as I think they're nicer photo's to look at rather than my paint cans and paint stained hands! lol Ok, break's over...............back to painting I go!
