      Thank you for helping me get started in the wonderful world of blogging Angela! It is going to be hard to decide whether to doodle about my life or splash paint onto my canvas. Aaaah the choices life throws at one.

      Thank you so much for your input Kristen. In spite of living in the States for 13 years, my heart is still very much connected with my South African roots.
