It gives me great pleasure to tell you that my new ‘Creativity Salon’ is opening this Monday the 16th of November and NEW MEMBERS CAN SIGN UP FROM TODAY… If you’re a regular here you know I’ve created the salon on the back of the ‘Creativity Bootcamp’ I hosted through October. Participants from that are […]

I didn’t know, when I decided to host a month long creativity bootcamp, what I was doing, not consciously anyway. I did it because I wanted to immerse myself more intensely in creative work and because of the longing, not just my own, but the need I felt came to me through the blog, emails, […]
Today I have an easy creative activity for Halloween that’s great fun for children and/or adults as well as a fitting tribute and farewell to autumn, the leaves and flowers of this year.

On top of daily journaling, painting and poem writing, curating the blog fb page, plus, you know, the family, house etc I’ve gone […]
