Great quote and such a lovely page x

Beautifully done :-)

Magpies can be mean little … (ahems) but to be fair, just very protective parents! We lived in Canberra and Sydney (inner city) and never saw roos or koalas or wombats around our streets - snakes in the garden in Canberra though. And I am very glad to no longer have to worry about poisonous...

Despite the relatively short time we lived there, we still feel so at home in Singapore. From the moment I step off the plane and smell that familiar mix of durian and incense and whatever else goes into the mix, and feel that enveloping humid heat, I think ‘YES! We’re back!’ Nowhere else smells...

Journaling: My weakness is dried plants, this one is special. I love having dried foliage around -and my special favourite is the twig gathered after an island storm, before we moved here. We brought it back to Beaumont Quarter on the ferry - and a few months later carefully packed it in a huge...

Many, many years ago I landed a temp job at the national broadcaster on my return from overseas. I was applying for permanent jobs at the same time, but the temp job turned permanent just as an interview for one of my most coveted jobs came up. I've occasionally wondered how very, very different...

My family joke that I should just go live in France permanently. But this was the very first time I was there, and also the first time I drank Badoit mineral water. No idea why my boyfriend at the time took the picture, but I was glad to rediscover it because to me 'Badoit' is the taste of...

Thank you!

Love it!

Beautiful! Congrats on the newsletter feature!

I love your writing and love all the details on this great creation :-)

Lovely photo and so beautifully scrapped. Happy New Year!

For Rachel's 'glimmer' challenge on our 'Pixels, Paper & paint' newsletter month of challenges. A glimmer of comfort after a tough week when my youngest daughter was ill in another city. It doesn’t take much, just a little jokey, lowkey interaction in the family whatsapp chat to lighten the day...

Swimming at dawn with our new friends (and their faithful dogs) is our new golden hour of each day. For the "Golden Hour' challenge for the month of challenges Rachel and I are having fun running on our substack newsletter.

My sister and I. We had only one cousin, who we never saw (other side of the world). Do sometimes wonder if we missed by not having lots of siblings and cousins like DH, but then he felt he got lost in the chaos so swings and roundabouts I guess! Made for the 'Number it" challenge for the month...

My DH's grandmother, siblings and a very impressive rocking horse. Made for the Five Things challenge on my joint newsletter with Rachel Jefferies.

I am loving seeing all these amazing layouts created for the challenges! It was such a leap of faith for us (especially in the craziness of the run up to Christmas!) but seeing all this creativity makes it all worthwhile :)

Not long now!! See the Pixels, Paper & paint newsletter link in my siggy :-)

So elegant and delightful :-)
