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.

Totally Copic Obsessed



Well I don't know about anyone else but I have been totally hooked by Copic markers, I think it brings back childhood memories of having not a worry in the world except being a kid and the thrill of being able to colour anything and everything that I could get my hands on. Its funny I haven't ever really thought about these memories until now. Its funny what triggers things from our past.





They might be a costly addition to your craft supplies but they are well worth adding, they are so easy to use and blend like a dream and the colours that you can choose from, for me its like being in a candy store, my budget says I need to buy the Ciao markers but the sketch markers have so many more colour to choose from. Such a dilemma, I think I will have to have a bit of both. LOL




This weekend I am off with the girls for a much needed scrap retreat, I am so looking forward to it, I cant wait. As one of my friends keeps telling me only 2 sleeps to go. WooooooooHoooooooo


but what to pack, this is the question.




Catch you all soon
