Birthday Songs!

I can not believe we are in to November already! This year is flying by. Last week was my birthday and so another year begins...... I am interested to see what it brings :)

The weekend prior the family were all in Melbourne to celebrate my sister Lauren's 30th Birthday. Sh e was having a 1940's themed party which meant victory rolls and red lipstick! Because we were all together it meant that the Raymond Sisters could perform too! It is so lovely to be able to sing together every now and then and this time was no exception. Decked out in our military uniforms we sang through a new song of ours "Babies of the Blitz" which is a fabulous song from the movie Mrs Henderson Presents and we also did our Andrew Sisters Medley both to cheers and applause!! See the videos below :) It was a great night of celebrating Lauren's 30 years!












We were also able to sing again the next day at Whittlesea City Salvation Army "Hymns and High Tea". It was a great afternoon of praise and sharing. We sang quite a few numbers including "Go Tell" "Long as I Got King Jesus" "We Bless Your Name" and then then songs from the night before and "It's Alright with Me". It was such a pleasure to sing and share together again and we hope that all there enjoyed themselves.

Now rehearsals turn to Christmas Music and other projects!! I do love Christmas Music and am so looking forward to performing in the Soul Factor Christmas Concert "It's Almost Christmas" on Saturday December 5th! Grab your tickets soon if you want to come along as it will sell out.

A Dream is a wish your heart makes....

A dream is a wish you heart makes... Do you have a dream? something that you want your life to be? or somewhere you want to go? Are you reaching for it? I have had a dream to be a Mary Kay Director since I joined the company 10 years ago and this month I took a huge step to achieving this. On October 1st I entered into DIQ or Director in Qualification, I now have 4 months to become a Director. I am very excited about this, the timing seemed right and when I do it I will be able to do just Mary Kay and Singing which will be perfect! It is rather scary though because there is a lot of work to be done in those four months, I have to build my team and reach certain production goals and sometimes it seems crazy, but that's the idea of moving up isn't it? taking a leap of faith? So why Directorship you ask? I understand leadership is not for everyone but I have always been drawn to it. I do have a passion for helping women feel good about themselves and I believe that we are...

MMMBop and road trip classics 😉

Road trip singalongs are the best! Do you agree?  What are your favourite songs to sing? Do you have specific lists or eras or styles of music you listen/sing to?  For me it usually depends who I am travelling with but nothing beats a good 80s/90s song list.... So last weekend I was on a road trip to Halls Gap with my sister, my brother in law and my niece and nephew. We had a fabulous time singing away the hours to many a favourite. Of course the kids occasionally asked for a song they knew but we thought it was important we listened to the classics haha 😜 We headed to Halls Gap for NanaFest 2019! A weekend to celebrate the 90th Birthday of my Nana Dawn. Staying in cabins and tents the family came from Victoria and SA and shared a weekend of catching up, a party, jumping pillows and bonfires. I do love my family, there is a a lot of us and it is lovely to see the all the generations interacting and enjoying each others company. We had wonderful weather and m...

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day...."

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day......" Well actually its been a beautiful week! I did have the absolute privilege to play Laurey in Oklahoma! presented live on Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton SA. It was such a beautiful setting to be in everyday, trees, fresh air, animals in the paddocks around and one rather show stealing peacock!! The cast was fabulous, the orchestra amazing and the sound superb (Tim Freedman, Allpro Audio  love your work!!). At the risk of sounding cheesy it was a magical experience. From the moment that Curly rides along the ridge on his horse (an actual horse!) singing "Oh what a Beautiful Morning" people were captivated. It was such a labour of love for all of us, and to see the joy in people's faces was so wonderful. This production was the idea of Emma Knights from Emma Knights Productions and along with some other wonderful people who captured the vision of it all as well, it actua...
