About Me

I have a background in Sociology Honours along with Psychology and                         English. Psychology still remains a passion as does Positive Psychology.            I used to work in the fashion industry and hospitality sector before I became a             stay at home mother to my daughters. Making greeting cards has been a passion since I was an eight year old girl. I am often addressed as  the 'Queen of recycling' in the blogging community because of my love for recycling and upcycling. You can see more of my upcycled cards under the label "partly recycled". Since the last 15 years, I have raised funds through cards for women's and children's charities in India such as SOS in Mumbai where we donated milk powder for HIV positive mothers.  We also supported Salam Balak - a trust for street children. Through sale of my cards, I have raised for natural disaster in Indonesia,The Philippines, Japan, Nepal and children in Combodia (through my older one's service in school).  One of the teachers in Jakarata Intercultural School was supporting a school in CIsarua in Indonesia and we were lucky enough to sell enough cards to raise money to buy stationery for the children in that school. I was in Indonesia before moving to Singapore in 2014 where I was supporting five Indonesian primary schoolers with their education through the Australia and New Zealand Women's Association in Jakarta. I continued to support two secondary school children in Indonesia until two years ago.  I have also sold cards to raise money to support an HIV positive rehab home for sex workers in Malaysia. Presently, am supporting a shelter for abused women in Singapore.  I am grateful to the international schools - (American School of Mumbai in India, Jakarta Intercultural School in Indonesia and Eton House International in Jakarta) who encouraged my talent by providing me a platform to sell my cards.  The United World College, too has offered me support.  Not to forget family,  friends and well wishers who have bought my cards.  On my to do list is also to hold card making sessions for children and   mums.                        Beside the above, I also run a forum called the United World Sanctuary                      wherein I hold mini-retreats for women which include guided meditation for                  deep relaxation.
