**Jan Shepherd** Favourite Place: Europe "Things that inspire me to be creative."

**Lena Umezawa** Favourite Place: South Africa "Some curious signs from around the Rainbow Nation. South Africans tell it like it is and are never without a sense of humour. Many of these signs I saw with my own eyes, and at first they were shocking. I lived near Cape Town when my oldest child was a baby, and my husband is originally from Johannesburg. Many fond memories."
