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.

A couple of Christmas Cards I made this year




I have had a lot of things to do in the lead up to Christmas so didn't have a lot of time to make many Christmas cards.These are the last 2 I made, there were a few others like my Magnolicicous group Mingle card but I forgot to photograph them so before I sent these ones on there way I took a couple of quick snapshots.
With everything that has gone on in the last couple of weeks, I was in a bit of a black somber mood so I found myself wanting to use black cards, it was also hard to find my mojo, I am hoping this will come back once the kids and I get settled in our own place, I just wish I had all the answers for them now. It has been a really difficult time for them and I had hoped that things would have a been a lot easier on them but you know what they say about the best laid plans they never go the way you want or expect them too. I know that next year, 2011 is going to be my year. A year filled with personal growth and achievement as I stand with my children and create the life we deserve, a year filled with joy and laughter, hope and Love. I want to show my children that you can start again when there seems like there is no hope, that by trusting and sharing with each other we will get through. I also want them to know that if you hate you allow all that was wrong in the first place to stay in your life and you wont be able to move forward. Go on and lead the best possible life you can by not giving into the power of hate but by embracing love you will always lead the life you deserve.............expect nothing less.
Enough of my musings for now, I wish all that read my blog the very best for 2011, to those who are near at hand I hope you join me for the ride.
