*** GIFT FOR A SISTA RECIPIENTS *** This was probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do - choosing just 20 people as EVERYONE was so worthy of winning this. Your nominations made me weep big fat tears you beautiful people. The chosen recipients are; 1 Annette Hill I nominate Rachel Cox and think the perfect word for her is STANDING. She lives with chronic illness, she loves her family, she pushes through barriers that would slay most of us, and her blog is raising awareness and bringing a huge community together. Even when her legs give way, she is STANDING in her soul. Youve got this Rach xx Rachel Cox - STANDING 2 Carla Jayne Hooper-Dixon My sister! I think I would choose the words Free Spirited! I love her to bits but she does it her way, says it how it is, does as she pleases, fiery yet compassionate and loves us all like there is no tomorrow and for that I am almost envious and that is why I would use the words free spirited its what I love most about her! Tam Hooper - FREE SPIRITED 3 Alison Asher I have two friends, sisters, who died of cancer. One 8yrs ago and one last year. One of them was an amazing chef and she had a two cafes called Sister Organics. I would like a pressie for their remaining sister, the beautiful Belinda. And of course Id love it to be engraved Sister. Belinda - SISTER 4 Bonny Bonfire Rayward Mellisa Grigg - her word Dory - She is one of the funniest, most heart warming people in the world. She always knows exactly what to say when she knows I am stressed, worried or upset.

She is an amazing person who is loved a lot by my whole family Mellisa Grigg - DORY 5 Michelle Cheetham I nominate Narelle Ball and my word for her is giving. She gives of her time, energy, love, compassion and understanding in her role as childrens pastor at my church. Her role includes so many families from outside the church through playgroup, school holiday sports programs, mentoring at the local primary school and organizing the annual Christmas carols. Hundreds of families in our local community are blessed by her and her amazing gift for children.

She has been the shining light in many challenging times in my life. At 14 when my mother passed away, she was there to help pick up the pieces. When our dear friend passed away in our twenties she was a rock. When my daughter was born last year, she was right beside me with a gentle supportive touch. So many adventures we have shared!

She has been with me through good and bad times and through celebrations and challenges; we have lost touch during those years then met up and picked up where we left off.

She spends hours in the planning and preparations and during the course of the weekend is the tour guide for activities and makes sure that every mum/carer is enjoying their time away.
