It was so hot today I actually had to put the overhead fan on to cool things down.  I was very tired after our late night crop last night, I didn't get home till about 2am and then had to be back at work this morning at 10am.

On the plus side I did get the opportunity to scrap last night.  We've had a new swap on the shop forum - an Op Swap Shop where we had to hunt and find some unusual goodies at op shops for our scrapbooking for $5.00.  We then had to scrap a page using the goodies, I got mine last night and it included some doilies, lace, ribbon, buttons and a 2 cent coin. 

Ok so its me - I'm here !!

The last couple of months have just been flying past and I have such little time that I have really put of doing a blog but now I feel I really should do one - just for me.

I'm a 40 something, mother of 3 beautiful girls, wife, daughter and owner of a terrific scrapbooking store in country NSW Australia.  When we took over there was a fair bit that needed to be done so the last 6 months have been really full on, so much to learn, do and find. 

Anyone who thinks that because you own a scrapbook store you must have lots of time to scrap is mad!!  There is NO time whatsoever.  On the upside you do get to meet lots of wonderful people - from all walks of life. 

I've always loved hearing people's stories - so I guess scrapbooking to me means putting the story down on a page, my own story and my families - we're very different, hopes and dreams of 3 girls vary depending on age, friends and mood.

Lots of people inspire me - I look at their layouts and am just amazed at their creativity and ideas they have for putting their pages together.

One thing that I particularly love are OTP items - what a fantastic treasure for someone to have, hand made art.

I don't think I have a favourite syle or person that I follow, I do love Becky Higgins but there are now so many its really hard to list them all.
