Smile Check out the new interview on the blog!

Yes, I had the fun of imagining that I traveled all the way from Minnesota, USA to Australia for my latest Designer Digitals member interview. You can read the interview here:

Fantastic interview, Merr and Carol! I felt like I was right there with you having a cup of tea and an Anzac cookie! Now, of course, you need to post the recipe, Carol!

A journalism prize to both of you on this one! Well done on the part of the interviewer AND the interviewee. I too felt like I had my cup and went up to the 'brisk' room with you.

btw, I did spend a bit of this morning looking at the secret album finally. I love stories about UK emigrants like Mike and his family because I have no knowledge about my relatives who left Ireland and Lithuanian 50 years earlier.

Ladies, thank you so much for the wonderful interview! I will now be thinking of winter, big labs, blankets, lady grey tea, cookies and of course that wide monitor every time I drool over one of Carol's LOs!

I felt like I was in the room with you guys, but I was sitting on the couch with hot cocoa listening. :O) Such a wonderful read about such a dear person. (Human Relations at the police station. . . very cool!) :O) Thanks so much for "introducing" us to Carol a little more.

Fantastic interview, Merr, full of your wonderful wit and charm!

Speaking of charming, absolutely delightful, Carol! Now when I picture you at the computer, I think of you all bundled up like my grandmother ... uh .... ;-) LOVE the "Groceries". Terrific interview, dear friend! Oh, and I'd take computer gear over chocolate and flowers any day!

What a wonderful interview Merrilee! I got myself a cup of tea and started to read it and enjoyed it so much. It also makes me wanna go scrap my family history too. Carol, your surprise album is so beautiful and I am so curious what your husband is gonna say when he gets it from you. He will be so proud!! Nice to get to know you a little bit. I also think it is so cool and brave that you joined everything to get in touch with other people when you moved. I think I wouldn't be so brave
