Thank you Melissa, this is such a nice review and of course you are qualified to review a book - you have a great eye AND people love your taste plus you are a book lover so you know what you like. You go girl, I love your review, the way you used some of the ideas to decorate your home (that part REALLY touched my heart) and how you mentioned your favorite bits in Decorate because it makes me want to run out and write more books. Thank YOU for the inspiration and motivation in return. Much love. xo

Hello darlings... It is no secret that I waited for Holly's new book with very loosely concealed excitement. Ok, it wasn't concealed at all....I couldn't WAIT! :) Holly's blog was one of the very first blogs I read when I was first introduced to blogland & I have been ...

Blogging Your Way
Hello and happy February to you. Holly, Thorsten and I will be teaching the Blogging Your Way E-course beginning in a couple weeks. I took this class when Holly ran it the first time back in April 2009 when I started my blog. I cannot recommend her knowledge and teaching ability enough. Hol...

Somerset Life
Just wanted to say thank you to the wonderful people at Stampington for including me in their most recent Somerset Life magazine. The six page article is one of my favorite color stories on peacock blue, a fancy name for dark turquoise. It is an honor to be a part of such a popular publ...
I love this pretty photo and all of your cool borders Leslie, this is a nice shot.

Monday Morning
I am working on another color story for you but I wanted to drop by and say a quick hello. xoleslie
I love this post. I am definitely the goofy dog in the blue sweater jumping in the air like a dork. Funny how so many of your feelings are my own. I can't wait to meet you this summer, it's on my wish list for sure: MEET MELISSA.

Closer to home: who I am
hello sweet ones, look, everyone has an idea of who they think they are. and maybe it differs from who the rest of the world sees. you can't really know the later...usually. you can only go along based on who you think you are & try to be true to that. no apologies. no masks. ...

Monday: inspired by a lovely moth
Hello sweet friends! Did you have a lovely weekend? I sure hope so! Though there was rain over here in our neck o' the woods, there was great weather on Sunday. Not at all what you expect for November but, lovely all the same! Over the weekend I saw this gorgeous mo...

at a store near you ~ my Papyrus card
First day of October. I figure it's good day to get a little Halloween spirit going? Yes? A long time fan of Papyrus cards, I'm honored to have one of my designs included in the collection this year. I have to say it's pretty adorable. If I saw it in a store, I would most definitely snatch o...

Thrifted
Yesterday afternoon I went around the city to get some inspiration for work and to run some errands, also for work. I suddenly found myself outside a favorite charity shop (omg, how did that happen?) so I had to go inside of course. Above's my loot. I love it but am unsure exactly what t...

Kashmir, India: Marcus Bleasdale and a tale of beginnings & endings
The photography course with Marcus Bleasdale in Kashmir India is over. Marcus is not only an inspired photographer, he is also a generous and patient teacher. I learned so much about the photo essay. I also learned how much I don't know and how far I have to go to be the kind of photographer ...
My honest answer is this: write a book that you have a passion for and the book will be loved by all and a success. Ask too many questions of your readers and the book will reflect others passions and not your own. One should always follow their passion when writing -- then it will be authentic and something you can truly be proud of. Too much in this world is done to please others. Please yourself first and others will follow you. Trust me on this one. You have style and class, write the book of YOUR dreams.

Let's try this again: your advice needed on my Moroccan interior design book
She had been hard at work. On her Moroccan interior design book. Because the deadline was looming and the editor was waiting (gulp). But she thought she'd take a breather and find out what you think. This book was for you after all:-) Online Surveys & Market Research Oh dear, not sure if t...

Dinner at the Bay Leaf
Sometimes I like to pamper myself with a dinner all by myself. Well those occasions mainly happens when Ben is out of town. And it also usually happens after a long day in the office or because I am a bit lazy. Also dining out in Arusha is far less expensive than doing so regularly in Europe. Ne...
This is great! But I'm thinking this cannot possibly be in order, right?
Anyway, the link to decor8 is not correct, the new URL is:
