Do you ever wonder why we do what we do......Scrapbook? For me it is too leave a footprint on this world, a window into how my family lived its life...our history, our heritage...........how much we were loved, by family, by friends, by the Universe.



To scrapbook or not to scrapbook this is the question? For me there is no contest, scrapbooking became a way of life, my passion, my obsession, my sanctuary. I am a firm believer that the photos we take are a bonus, that its about the story we tell, what we leave behind for future generations so they too can know us.................so that they can feel the love I have for my family even when I am no longer around to share it with them.



I hope that if I cant inspire you to join the ranks of the Scrapbooking community at large that you will at least leave a journal of the well trodden road you have travelled, sharing your adventures, your family traditions, the story you have to tell.

Whats happening

Well I have been to SIA, I must say its a busy 2 days crammed with lots of new things, my heads just buzzing. I am a convert to Copic Markers, I thoroughly enjoyed a class with Mandi - Lee Klinger she is just an amazing teacher she really makes using the copic markers sooooooo easy. I can see another obsession coming on. LOL

Wendy Senger was amazing she is so passionate about Tattered Angels and Glimmer mist and while I have always loved using these products I feel inspired to use them in more of my projects, I also cant wait for Glimmer Glaze and Glimmer Glam to hit our shores. I met Heidi Swapp and some really nice people from Prima and I fell in love with Darkroom Door Stamps allover again, Rachel Grieg has some wonderful new products she is adding to her range and I cant wait to play around with these, oh and did i mention that I spent way too much on new stamps, I guess I am going to be chained to my desk for months to come.

I have some exciting projects that I am about to start, but you will just have to wait to see them in the coming weeks as I create them. I am really excited about my biggest project ever that I am about to undertake, but I really need to win an ebay auction tomorrow to get started, watch this space and I will tell you more as I start to create.

I am on the way to mastering Windows 7........yay so i hope to be updating more often to the blog.

Bye for now
