Hi! I’m Janette Goodall, a wife, a mum and a nanna. I love beautiful things, butterflies, flowers and purple!

In March 2021 I challenged myself to make a card a day for the whole month of March. I was encouraged to do this after a lengthy bout of depression and anxiety to get myself back into doing the things I used to enjoy. I see it as self-care. Another thing I used to enjoy was blogging, so I started this blog to talk about my journey and share my creations.

I started making cards more than 20 years ago, and used to run workshops in my home. When they stopped suddenly nearly six years ago, I gave it all up. Last year during Covid I started making cards again. I have had so many emotions around it all, why am I doing this, what’s the point, where is the meaning and value in it. If you’ve suffered depression you’ll most likely understand those feelings. I am now passionate about them again, and the value is in the doing of them, and enjoying the process and creative expression.

I also love teaching and encouraging others to find their own style of creative expression, and you will find some helpful tips under the Resources tab.

My hope and prayer is that you will find something here to inspire you to be and create your own kind of beautiful!

Love
