“When Life Gives you Lemons Make Lemonade” Artwork …

February 17, 2016

    A poster, print or artwork is perfect to brighten or “lift” the décor in any room. I love a splash of colour and I especially love anything that either evokes a special memory or is uplifting and positive.   This poster that I’ve created does just that … it’s a saying that I’ve often repeated and a saying that reminds me to make the most of any situation, no matter how tough. It’s bright, it’s fun, it’s inspirational and it’s ABSOLUTELY FREE for you to download and frame.   Find a frame you love, download, print and hang somewhere in … read more

Decluttering and Organising Magazines and Newspapers …

October 17, 2014

Most days, life is crazy and super busy. Working, cooking, cleaning and looking after the family, can leave us with very little time for ourselves.

However, as a result, I had accumulated quite a few piles of old magazines that I’d stored on different shelves and in cupboards around the house … old magazines that hadn’t been touched for years and were simply taking up valuable … read more
