I joined the online magazine Holl and Lane a little while ago. It is a stunning online magazine by the very talented Sarah Hartley.
I started reading her online magazine, as I was totally intrigued by the articles about live in the USA, especially by the stunning photographs that was the perfect way for me to get a bigger and better picture of so many places I love to maybe even see one day, and be able to visit them.
So for now I am enjoying my “desk” visits to so many places.
How great was my surprise then when Sarah asked me to write a few paragraphs for her about Holiday Traditions in South Africa? What a huge honour. I could hardly believe it and was not sure what to write, but I sat down and wrote what I thought would be interesting enough.
And now my Holiday Traditions in South Africa are featured on page 64!
How awesome is that, and what a wonderful way to end a beautiful year that was full of good times and lots of fun.

Awww, thank you for posting this. It’s a very nice compliment for Sarah and as her mom, that makes me happy too. 🙂 I really enjoyed your article in her magazine and I’m a fan of your blog too and seeing all the crafts you’ve got going on. Plus I love your dog! Such a little sweetie.
Thank you. It was absolutely my pleasure, I feel so very honoured to have been asked to write a little something, and then have it in the magazine! 🙂
Sarah and her mom are such special people, I love them to bits.
Thank you for the compliment on my blog, it is growing steadily, and I am loving it.
lol. Yes, the dog is my little baby, and extremely spoiled. She know it as well.
That’s awesome!!!
Thank you so much. 🙂
Well done you!! :))
Thank you so much. I feel so honoured. 🙂
Well done you! I’ve not hear of this before, so shall check it out 🙂
Just finished reading your article in Holl and Lane. Excellent! I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this already, but my brothers and I were born in SA and moved to the States when I was 8. We also have Christmas with Christmas crackers and I absolutely LOVE that you make your own. What a brilliant idea. I have a very faded memory of helping my mom to make Christmas crackers for a craft fair when I was 7. I don’t have time this year, but next year we’re having hand crafted Christmas crackers. Just curious what you use for the inside tube?
No, you have not mentioned it. So nice to hear. 🙂
Christmas is such a fun time, we love being together with the family.
For the “crackers” I actually don’t make a tube, but use a small brown paper bag, with the goodies inside, and then we write the menu for lunch on the outside. Each packet has little goodies in just for the intended person. We “personalize” the goodies per person, its a lot of fun shopping for all the small goodies to put in the bags. 🙂
Wow, exciting… good for you! 🙂 ♥ ❤
Thank you so much. I felt very honored.
