What a busy year - I've not stumbled or blogged for the duration. I'm finally home in my country of birth and I adore every moment. In the past year I've lived in France, Egypt, Lebanon and Qatar. Lebanon is awesome and I'll go back there as soon as the opportunity presents itself again. Don't know if I'll stumble regularly again or ever - but I still love this concept and the amazing people who contribute to this. Take care everyone :-)

Paulette Insall's art had been on the top of my list to Stumble since a long time, so this page is dedicated to her, as well as to Beryl Cook who sadly passed away age 81.  Until I start Stumbling again, Stumble friends, you're all in my heart.  I depart for now with some inspiring quotes, one found on Paulette's marvelous works of art:  

Choices are the hinges of destiny ~ Edwin Markham

Fate is Chance, Destiny is Choice ~ by I couldn't find out so far.  

Particulartly poignant as I am about to embark on a whole new journey, a life.  Take care until we meet again. 

***I just noticed that I officially hit the 2000 pages liked mark!  Woohoo!***

Paulette's Stumbles.  Interesting links, but the real action can be found on her site, blog, Flickr pages, Etsy, YouTube and much more!  No wonder she has little time for Stumbling.  Thank you so very much for making this world an even more beautiful place!

A selection of Paulette Insall's work on Flickr.  I love the sublime femininity of her work, the uplifting inspiration she conveys.

Each work is accompanied by the story behind it - very moving and personal, it is clear that she is passionate about what she is doing.
