Cheri I love the simplicity of the page to echo the quote and it's one that probabaly applies to most of us. I'm trying to live simply and have realized once we get into the habit of having less, being happy with less .... there is so much more calm and freedom !! Jen that is a great quote and I tot...

I love Christine's Challenge !! We often unconsciously do use color to reflect how we feel and combining this with a quote for a challenge layout is such a great idea :D This is my take using a quote by Oprah Winfrey. The calming, quiet colors reflect how I'd like my life to be and how I view succes...

The kit is fabulous !!!!

Get better soon Ronda !! I'll be here for an hour or two !

Happy birthday Anita, hope you had the best fun every !!!

Hi Daisies !! Do your kids do organized activities outside of school ? Like swimming classes or gym, Karate, dance or music ? Most kids we know do some sort of activity when they are young with swimming being the most popular as all kids in Singapore must be able to swim by 9 years old. We are a sma...

Woooops .... everyone is so excited about CHA and the peeks, sorry about this delay ! Have you ever wanted to change your hairstyle ? Have a completely different colour or length ? I was watching the Oprah show and I could not believe how a simple change in color or length could make a huge differen...

Do you love Sunday evenings ? What do you usually plan for evenings ? To us it's important to keep the evenings slow and quiet with an early Sunday dinner (usually a roast or stew of some sort) with the whole family at the table, after that maybe a movie on TV. With teens in the home, the longer sch...

I LOVE food questions and finding out what and how people eat. Granted that not all of us is adventurous, look forward to anything exotic or enjoy foods that are culturally very different from our everyday. What was the most interesting restaurant you've eaten at ? What type of food did they serve ?...

In Singapore EVERYONE is excited about Resorts World's opening because it's where Universal Studios will be and both our girls have already been promised a day there. At the same time, I keep thinking we should be encouraging the girls to be more of eco-tourists by opting for nature parks, camping, ...

Great challenge and layout Anja, and those colors in the photo ar wonderful !!!

I was tidying up my wardrobe, or at least trying to get a better sense of what I have enough of and what I don't use anymore. What items would you like to add to your wardrobe to pump it up ? I would LOVE one more pair of shoes, another bag ...... two more tops in brighter colours. On my last shoppi...

Hey Sue, I hope everyone is well and happy !!

Immediate plans - to get over this cold !!! I feel achy all over, my head's starting to throb, it's only 5.30pm in Singapore and I feel ready for bed ......

I love Christine Middlecamp, she's marvellous with embellishments and colours !!

I've got a bad cold ...... my head feels like a bowling ball stuffed with cotton wool !! What food remedies for colds do you swear by ? Seems like piping hot chicken soup works wonders ..... but I like anything spicy and sour and Thai Tom Yum soup is my favourite cold remedy, especially when I don't...

Wow ..... what great ideas !!! I loved Christine's and wished someone had done the same for me when the kids were very young !! Not really a gift in a physical sense but something we wanted to do for my mum. Last year when my mum went away on a trip, hubs and I decided to *clear out* some of the jun...

My three are :

1) Patricia Cornwell
2) Diana Mott Davidson (her stories have Colorado as the background, she makes me want to visit !!!)
3) Kathy Reichs

Laura you are so funny !! That red wedding dress would be fabulous. What made the vows for our friends even more meaningful was the fact the couple didn't have that big wedding, they had no money then, came from families with severe problems, and had to work really hard at the marriage with no examp...

Friends of ours recently re-took their wedding vows after three kids and 18 years of marriage. It was a beautiful ceremony !! It began with the couple telling their story, then reciting the vows they wrote, a small group of gathered family and guests, everything was elegant yet very personal, in a l...

Oh .........must watch Julie and Julia, missed it ! Action thrillers always have a longer run while films other dramas and comedies seem to run only a few day. ...... last movie I was was Princess & the Frog! And I think it was another kid flick before that, and before that, and before that. Tri...
