"Welcome back!" "Didn't you leave?" "Can't stay away?" "What are you doing here?"

"Thank you, yes, yes and just helping out," came my replies.

My name is Lindy Butler and after more than 12 years on the Better Homes and Gardens team, I left for "retirement" in September. But last week I was thrilled to be invited back to work on a very special project here at the magazine.

Help us publish a very special issue!

This year Better Homes and Gardens celebrates thirty years in Australia. To mark the occasion, we're due to publish an awesome, anniversary collector's edition, and you and I have a great chance to put a case for our favourite projects from the last three decades. 

We'd like you to help put together the all-time TOP THIRTY projects, so please email me with your BHG favourites (as many as you can up to 30!) in the following categories:

RECIPES 

DIY PROJECTS

GARDENING

DECORATING IDEAS

Don't worry if you can't remember which year your stories appeared in the magazine - we'll try to locate them!

I'm really excited to be back working on such a great project. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for helping, and don't forget to email me your suggestions.

Cheers,

Lindy
