The Future Is Now


Over Christmas I started a new Art Journal. I aways have loads of journals on the go from writing diaries to travel scrapbooks. I will admit I have quite an obsession with notebooks and indeed stationary purchasing. I can’t help it okay?! I’m pretty sure it’s a disease. They have meetings for such things – Notebookers Anonymous. They sit around…

Sapient     I must thank Kelsey, the publisher, for sending me this book by Jerry Kaczmarowski. It’s always interesting to read a book without having a notion what on earth it is about.

All the Colours


I absolutely adore the colours of Autumn. The reds, yellows, oranges, greens. It’s so spectacular and beautiful. That’s one of the many reasons I love Autumn.

When the muggles get you down.


So lately I’ve been kind of stressed. I mean I’m always stressed or worried about something but more so at the moment. And it’s not like there is anything huge happening in my life. Even last year when I was doing the Leaving Cert, I didn’t get overly distressed. I did have one or two minor breakdowns but isn’t that…

You Got Mail


Just before Christmas last year, I won two giveaways…. on the same day. How lucky is that? I mean, I never win stuff. Never. And then all of a sudden – bam! So, yeah, that made ecstatically happy.
