Hello and welcome - and thank-you for stopping on the quayside to have a look!
A little about this blog
For co-explorers and creative, kindred spirits who ...
- enjoy the simpler side of scrapbooking and story-telling
- have a yen for a simpler living, too
- feel the gentle but insistent tug of a turning tide and wonder "Should I? Can I? Dare I?
A little about me
Love ...
- words which carry the salty tang of a restless breeze and a new horizon, and ruffle my soul
- colour and shape, graphic and clean, to delight and soothe the eye
- scrapbooks, journals, white paper and card, Pilot extra-fine pens. And books, books, books ...
- clutter (books don't count)
- cups with artfully twisted handles which suit only right-handed people
- careless use of the apostrophe (I know. I'm in a minority of one.)
- wise
- more courageous
- quirky
- makes you smile a little
- catches the wind of inspiration in your own sail
- lets you wave at me from your own craft, as you pass by ...
Posting
Most often on ...
- Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays
- Possibly a Tuesday or a Thursday (but unlikely to be both!)
Most recent scrapbook page
Seeking inspiration ...
- anywhere I can find it
- from, in this case, a recipe in a free supermarket magazine
- and hope you like it!
Thank-you for visiting!
Alexa, am soooo honoured to have got to 'know' you these past few years.
The blog is all I expected it would be and more - it's sooooo wonderful to read. I will be a regular.
LOVE the LO.......you know you're going to have to show a new LO every time you post don't you, as we'll all be waiting, with baited breath, for new ones......
From a kindred spirit: I most definitely "feel the gentle but insistent tug of a turning tide and wonder "Should I? Can I? Dare I?".......

Love the look, feel and content of your blog. Your LOs are an inspiration. I don't do digi, but you inspire me to be more creative and descriptive with my own journalling. Keep up the great work x

That layout is just fantastic and I love Mum's tip (see I got the apostrophe in the right place)and you definitely made me smile. I'm looking forwarding to following your blog and doing more of the same :)

Love the blog Alexa, especially the clean white space. I really like the sail boat at the top I get the feeling I'll be sailing along with you.

Lovely, funny scrapbook page - I spotted it on IACW earlier when I was looking for elephants and got lost!! Love your graphic style and fully support your antipathy towards apostrophe abuse!!! Now if only I could control my addiction to exclamation marks!!!!
