: About Me

In July '08 a friend sent me a link to Helium, and with that I found was the opportunity to challenge my own writing skills. Before Helium my only connection to seeing my name in print was via the occasional par' within womens magazines, and that was so many years ago.

Long ago, retired from working within the housing construction industry, and living on the East Coast of Australia. My focal interests have changed over the years and many of my paper-craft  and gardening articles here show 'where I've been'.  Since then, experimenting with my camera and thinking more 'photography' has become my passion.  Much of this now becomes content for my blog, Carole's Creative Corner at dragonfly47.blogspot.com   I hope you'll come visit me there too.

My passion is ...

nature's bounty, bird-watching, photography, blogging and keeping in touch via emails

websites and blogs connected to creativity and nature photography; I'm a 'visual' person and love to see color displayed in various crafts and admire the professionalism of many artisans in their own crafts, whatever it might be. Always enjoy seeing what others are making.

Transformation from a Cluttered and Messy Zone to the Ultimate Tranquil Haven Has your bedroom become a disaster over the years? This one room can often be overlooked when more prominent areas of our homes need attention. The good news is that your bedroom always has the potential to becoming a sanctuary. You can have one with just a little re-organization, and some dedicated days to work your project through to completion. Chaos and disorder aren't conducive to a good night's sleep.
