Hi All,

I'm Esther :) I live in Melbourne, Australia with my two teen boys.

I'm a writer and artist. You could say I have an obsession with words and paper! Creating is my passion and is my happy place!

I love playing with paper: creating snail mail/happy mail, cards, flipbooks, ATCs... I think it's awesome being able to connect with other creative souls and inspire each other :)

I'm a huge film buff with many favourites. I love 80s films like Labyrinth, Willow, Ladyhawke, Princess Bride, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day off, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, The Goonies, Ghostbusters, Amadeus, Dead Poets Society... Wes Anderson films, Amelie, Pan's Labyrinth, Studio Ghibli: Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbour Totoro, Tim Burton films: Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Splash, Forrest Gump, Fight Club, Gone with the Wind, Blade Runner, Disney films: Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Pixar's Toy Story, Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings...and the list goes on :)

Stranger Things, Penny Dreadful, Seinfeld, Breaking Bad, The X-Files, American Horror Story, Monkey! Anime like Cowboy Bebop, and many more...!

I love fantasy, historical, period, drama and comedy series.

I love reading and books! I have a huge collection which I keep on adding to - can't resist pretty covers and collectors editions.
