Vanuatu is lovely, with warm weather and beautiful, friendly people.
We’re all enjoying our family holiday, though at times I do think this is a resort better suited to couples or older kids as there are a few restaurants / bars which only allow patrons 12 years plus.
Today is my and hubby’s wedding anniversary, so we’re celebrating with some local wine and an $8 bar of Cadburys chocolate which we bought earlier today at the local supermarket :-)
Now, are you ready for giveaway number 2??
Today, it’s a little bit of Michael Miller… I have a little bundle of 3 Fat Quarters (FQ’s) to giveaway.
This fabric reminds of Greece – the colours and designs really have a Grecian feel – don’t you think?
For a chance to win this prize, entering is simple! Be a follower of my blog over there on the right sidebar, with Google Friend Connect and then just leave me a comment telling me:
We love to fish and swim, so anywhere close to the water suits us. As the kids get older, we’ll no doubt head to all of the Queensland fun parks with rides and roller coasters. We even have Disneyland or Disney World on the agenda… but maybe not for a few more years.
For an extra entry, blog about this giveaway and leave another comment with your blog link.
And for another entry, ‘Like’ the Samelia’s Mum Facebook Page. The link is up top on the right.
Entries close at midday (AEST) on 26 September 2011.
This giveaway is open to everyone so International entries are very welcome.
Make sure you come back again in another day or so for my next giveaway… and if you haven't entered yet, go and have a look at my previous giveaway of a Buttercup by Moda charm pack.

Perfect family vacation is somewhere we can do lots of walking, with beaches and water, shopping, good food and a comfortable bed.
ReplyDeleteOur perfect family vacation is on Big Gull Lake in Ontario, Canada. Kayaking, boating, fishing and sitting around reading.
ReplyDeleteI liked you and am already a follower.
ReplyDeleteOur family likes national parks where we can hike and see lots of gorgeous scenery and wildlife.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite holiday destination is up at Forster/Tuncurry. There's the beach for cooling off and relaxing and Barrington Tops nearby for a bit of bushwalking and lovely 'village' atmosphere. As the kids get older though and have work (and social commitments!), our family is getting smaller *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI live in Ontario, Canada and we have had awesome holidays on the east coast and out in the west... I would go either way, any holiday again!
ReplyDeleteVisiting family...we're spread out over 3 countries and all over the US. So, anytime we get a chance to get together in any part of the world, it's good times.
ReplyDeleteI am a long time follower! Yay! I agree, these giveaway fabrics remind me of Greece, it has to be the colours... I would love a family vacation there... maybe someday (sigh!)
ReplyDeleteTo have all 5 kids in one place where we can shop, swim, sightsee!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about "perfect" but we can't wait to go to Disney World!!!! It's only about 4 hours and a few hundred dollars away!
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower
ReplyDeleteperfect family vacation...would have to be where we could relax while the children had a blast...Let me know where that is :)
A perfect vacation is anywhere with family unconnected to the rest of the world.

ReplyDeleteWell, since both of my children are grown and gone, we don't take "family" vacations anymore. But I do LOVE the beach.
ReplyDeleteI am already following you!! Yay!

ReplyDeleteOur perfect family holidays usually involved getting in the car and driving, not knowing exactly where we would go. We loved seeing historical sites, interesting places, rainforests and local markets. Walks along beaches and in rainforests were always included.
ReplyDeleteWe love to just stay home for a good vacation and order in.

Our perfect family vacation was going to the mountains. We would camp and take our bikes. We would also go to the local fun park, where we would ride the go carts and play the games. Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteMy perfect family vacation would be to go on a cruise ship! I don't really care where it goes, although in a perfect world I would love to be able to take them on one of the Disney cruises, with a trip to Disney World on the side! (My kids are 3 & 5)
ReplyDeleteIf it were an anniversary trip for my husband and I though, a cruise through the Greek Isles would be lovely! (Inspired by your "greek themed" Michael Miller fabrics!)

ReplyDeleteIt would be somewhere with beaches... and grandparents for babysitting!
ReplyDeleteThe best family holidays are getting away from the house. At least then my husband will relax. It's great to make special memories for the kids to look back on. Glad you're enjoying your Vanuatu holiday and Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeletePerfect family vacation is camping with a lake for canoeing.

ReplyDeleteI am follower through Google - don't know if I appear in the sidebar!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite family holiday involves the beach; most often two you no doubt know - Bulli and/or Windang! Why? Because they are only an hour and a half from home so when the holiday is over there's no stressful long drive home!
Overseas or interstate? Anywhere I haven't been before or for a very long time!
The perfect family vacation would be somewhere that has a beach and fun stuff for my younger kids to do. I would love to take the family to Disneyland one year (when the kids are older), and also to the beach by the ocean (as we live way inland...). Thanks for a lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy perfect family vacation would be somewhere relaxing, tropical, and beautiful. Somewhere we can all enjoy time together, but where I can also have a day to enjoy by myself.

ReplyDeleteI love the ocean, a nice beach, some snorkeling, sightseeing and good food. Thanks for the giveaway. I love those colours.
ReplyDeleteI like you on FB :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday is when the kids and grandkids come here as we live only 5kms from the beach. We all have such a greatime.
ReplyDeleteenjoy your holidays and Happy Anniversary.
When we were growing up, our family went to a lodge in Northern California, USA every summer, where we fished and swam and read books and picked berries. I thought that was heaven, still do.
ReplyDeleteAn alternative perfect vacation for us now is a trip to Washington, DC. Almost every activity is free, and there is so much culture and history to take in. We love it there.
Thanks for the giveaway. I'm a follower.

ReplyDeleteI think our perfect family vacation was the one we took to Rehoboth Beach, DE. We rented a home for the week and it was very refreshing to get away. We rode the trolley to the beach and the children had a wonderful time. We didn't want to leave. Why are vacations like that?!?!?1
Happy Anniversary! Our favourite holiday is with a touring caravan, otr of season when it is quieter, touring round France...heaven. Linda

I am a avid follower. The perfect vacation would be exploring the ruins and other sights on the Yucatan Peninsula with my husband, daughter and grandchildren. There is so much to do and see there.
ReplyDeleteA perfect vacation is ... we are now going without the boys .... time to read, time to relax, time for nice long walks in the nature or time to visit a city. But a perfect time is also, when both our sons, daugther in law and grandchild go with us somewhere.
ReplyDeleteAnd YES :-) ...I am a follower of your blog.
The fabric is very lovely. I also think Provence in France, when I see the colours.
My perfect family vacation is a disney cruise. Fun for kids, fun for adults.

Well all my kids are young, so most likely some place that has a playground for the kids, shopping for me, and a tv for dad (jk). We would love to camp and just spend time outdoors (as long as I have a place to sit down for a little bit and rest and read!)
