✨ New for April ✨

Introducing Numéro 3, the newest addition to my French Door greeting card series 🇫🇷🚪

Captured while wandering some historic back lanes, this beautiful door offered a glimpse into Strasbourg life, and I just had to capture that moment of sunshine.

That moment has been turned into a greeting card, ready to be shared for birthdays, thank yous, or just because.

Numéro 3 is the fourth card in my French door series, and they’re all now available on my website.

behind the scenes…

When the light is right, and the garden is giving up the goods, it’s time to bring out the camera and capture all those delicate details. The textures, the colours, the little imperfections that make each flower unique.

And often, what starts as capturing some home grown flowers doesn’t stay that way for long. Sometimes these images go on to become greeting cards, carrying a little piece of my garden out into the world.

After picking a few blooms, I usually photograph them in the corner of my bedroom, right next to a big window where there’s plenty of natural light.

I’m trying to get in the habit of photographing with the ‘big’ camera (Canon RP) and then also using my iPhone to snap some images or video that I can use on stories and reels. Luckily my Manfrotto tripod holds both camera and phone so it saves thinking about shooting from the same spot etc.

Scroll though for a peek at my basic setup

Are you accidentally making your emails harder to read?

One very common design choice in EDMs can reduce readability, make emails harder to scan, and even affect accessibility, especially on mobile.

The good news? It’s an easy fix.

In my latest blog post I explain:
• why centre-aligned text causes problems
• how people actually read emails
• simple layout tips that improve engagement.

Whoops, I blinked and February has been and gone!

And on this last day of the month, I realised that I hadn’t shared my greeting card release for the month 😬.

So I’d like to introduce Numéro 11.

It’s a little moment of intrigue captured while wandering through the heart of Strasbourg, a beautiful city on the border of France and Germany 🇫🇷 ✨.

This doorway drew me in instantly, and I longed to have a peek into what was behind it (I resisted).

The texture, the tones, the centuries of stories held within its frame, a beautiful façade with so much to say.

That sense of pause and possibility has become Numéro 11, now available as a greeting card.

For messages that feel thoughtful, travel-inspired, or touched with a little European charm… ✉️

Well hello 👋

I’m happy to say that I’m finally back at Chookapeck Social.

Admittedly not very often, but here with purpose.

I didn’t disappear - I recalibrated.

2025 was a year where I focussed on health, relationships and doing.

Doing allll the good things, which didn’t leave enough time for the digital things like social media.

I was like a plumber with a leaky tap at home, or a chef that only eats baked beans - I’m the marketing/communications coach who didn’t post any content 🙃.

But for lots of reasons, that’s going to change, and starting today, I’m back.

I won’t be loud, but I’ll be present.

There will be less noise, but more intention.

And if you’re still here, drop me note below to say hi, because hoo, I am so glad to be here ✨

A little moment from the streets of Reims 🇫🇷✨

While wandering near the Hôtel de ville de Reims in June last year, this door stopped me in my tracks.

The colour, the character, the history it has seen, the stories it could tell…

That moment has turned into ‘Nombre 14’ - and it’s now available as my new January release greeting card.

It’s for messages that feel wistful, a little bit wanderlust-inspired, or whatever you like…
