The creatives behind the 100 Day Project have decided to go early this year, feeling that something positive to look forward to over the Winter of 2021 could only be a good thing.

Travel: Comfortless Cove, Ascension Island The negative: All our travel plans for this year have been postponed or cancelled. The positive: There is still an outside … Continue reading Life in Lockdown | Turning Negatives into Positives
I've added more pocket page spreads to what will become my Ascension Island album: A double spread about that time I went out to sea on an ocean-going oil tanker ... I had quite a lot to say. And a single spread about the afternoon I hiked up Green Mountain with pals (and the reason … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #10
