It’s that time of year when everyone in Australia heads off on their summer holidays. Christmas is over and it’s now time for some relaxation and recreation.

So are you currently holidaying? If so, where? If not, where would you most like to be holidaying? Does your perfect holiday destination include the beach and lots of sunshine? Or are you a skiing and snow kind of person? What about an idyllic mountain retreat, or a spot of fishing on the lake?

What sort of holidays do you like the most? Those filled with lazy, relaxing days just mooching around or the action packed adventure variety, filled with excitement and new experiences at every turn?

What’s your favourite holiday activity? Do you like to take lots of photos of your trips? Do you like to visit the local restaurants and places to eat? Are you a souvenir person, or do you like to hit the local shops for gifts for those back home? Do you like to visit all the local tourist attractions and activities?

What was your most memorable holiday? Where did you go and who was it with? Was it the destination or the people that made it so memorable? Have you ever revisited the destination or tried to recreate the experience?

If you keep an online journal or blog, feel free to add a link to your response to this prompt in the comments section.

My friend Jen has just set up a website for people wanting something extra special to give as a gift.  Jen writes personalised poems for just about any occasion.

To quote Jen:

There are always times in life when it’s worth giving something special:

• New Baby
• Special Birthday/Milestone
• Mother’s Day/Father’s Day
• Graduation
• Baby’s First Year
• Thankyou to a Special Teacher/Colleague
• Engagement/Wedding
• Career Achievement

A personalised poem is a beautiful memento for any special occasion.

When you know what you want to say but not how to say it - I’ll help!

Just jot down your own thoughts, feelings, anecdotes, special sayings, hopes and dreams for the future - anything you want to say.

I’ll do the rest - and I promise to work with you to create a unique poem that could only have come from you.
Jen

So if you’re after that something extra special for an important occasion be sure to give Jen a visit at Words By Jen.

Welcome to PaperBased.net. This blog seeks to cover anything and everything related to paper- including journaling, writing, letter writing, postcards, origami and paper folding, colouring pages, printables, pens and writing implements, notebooks and materials.

As long as I can remember I have loved the feel of paper, the perfection of a blank page and the idea of being able to create something both on the page and from the page. I am hoping that through this blog I can share some of these paperbased things with others.
