Since I am behind on Snowflake Challenge posts, one of my goals for today is to catch up. (Along with cleaning my desk, finishing paying the bills that are due before my next paycheck, scanning and shredding old paperwork, catching up my book journal, and a few other administrative tasks leading up to my retirement in twelve to fifteen months.)

Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page

Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!


I'm going to assume that this means the last page I visited, versus a page belonging to me.

I have been watching YouTube videos today (instead of doing the tasks that I planned, because this is what happens when I sit down at my desk on a Sunday). So here are a few:

I like Erin Smith's videos. She sets up journals and talks about stationery. Since I am a stationery junkie and enjoy collaging, I watch at least one of her videos every week. So here is the one I am currently watching.

I also watch Rewilding Jude every week. Jude is a young man who moved to a wreck of a cottage in Scotland and has been renovating it and attempting to be as self-sustaining as possible. His life is as different from mine as it might be, but his videos have helped me to think about my own wreck of a home a little differently (though I'm absolutely not going to learn plumbing and wood working myself). His latest is here.

I have also been watching a lot of the Holderness Family who I just came across a couple of months ago, because they're hilarious and relatable. I really hope they're as cool as they seem to be. (Please don't tell me if they're not. I don't want to know.)

Challenge #5

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.


This is a really hard one and kind of where I got tripped up that put me so far behind...so how about just a wishlist in general?

1. I would like to travel again. My last trip abroad was in 2018. I want to see Newgrange and go back to Stonehenge and tour France and go to Germany and...it seems increasingly likely that it's not going to happen.

2. I would like all of the problems with my house to be fixed. I would like the raccoons and various other fauna evicted. I want the shed demolished and hauled away and the garage fixed. I want the twenty-five years of sticks and branches hauled away. I would like the landscaping fixed. I like my house most of the time, but I would like to love it all of the time.

3. I would like a faster and easier way of traveling so that I could see my far-flung friends and family. TARDIS? Transporter? Teleportation?

We both have the same wish regarding the house... there are so many things I would love to fix in and around my house too!

I second your 1st and 3rd wishes! And I'm all too familiar with #2, though in our case it's been squirrels and rats. Here's hoping (after paying two different companies) that all access points are now gone for good!
