Weekend jaunts up the North Coast to Salt Rock, Ballito, prawn and chicken curry, stunning wall art, blue skies, sea views, tidal pools, my sister’s birthday… then three Networking functions KZN Women in Business, Umhlanga Women Achievers, and the RobinHood Foundation Mahala tea. I lost my voice in the most important week of the month…

“Dogs are not just pets, they are family.”  Sadly this week our little Meeka passed away – just less than two years after her brother Kimchi and we are left with a huge hole in our hearts. I agree with the quote “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened”.…

This was one of the toughest weeks this year so far! But life has ups and downs and what I love about weekly designed photobook pages, is that all parts of life are included in my story… My husband and I joke that even when things get tough, we still have the most wonderful weather…

Week 8 – Paint and Sip fundraiser for Hola Baby Home with my artistic friend and author Terry Angelos, a visit to the Durban Maritime Museum, a Start-up Grind Networking event with author and entrepreneur Mike Saunders of Digit Lab, and a sad goodbye to my nephew Taeho, as he returns to Korea to study…

Crafting, Fellow Deckhands, Markets, Airports, Whales, Walking… Yowzer what a week! Just when I thought I could stick to a double-page spread a week, this fantastic week came along…. I just know you are going to love the “Durban Whaling History Tour” page – I couldn’t resist including history taken from Facts About Durban and…

Good golly I didn’t take any photos this week! This is NOT something I get to say often at all. I have been so focused on creating process videos, blog posts, newsletters, and running a na-nu-ja Facebook Win a Photobook Competition. So I decided that I would design pages with the work I have been…

Right, diving into Week 3 of Project Life® 2024 – this week was very exciting for me because my son arrived back in South Africa after 10 months in Europe, 8 months of which was on a super yacht. I can’t imagine not sleeping ashore for that long! You will see that I designed my…
