Well it has been a long time

:-) I have had a long break from scrapping stuff. I haven't even spent much time on the computer. But this week I have had to get back into it. Tara and I have a workshop this weekend and next weekend I have 3 make and takes for Fiskars. One on Friday in Albury, one on Saturday in Bendigo and one on Sunday in Shepparton. All of these will be held in the Spotlight stores, so it would be good to see many people attend so please come in to the stores :-)

I have had a few layouts published recently, which I would like to share....

This one is in Creating Keepsakes this month, it just came in the mail today...

This one's in Scrapbook Creations.....
and this one's in Scrapbooking Memories


After a great Summer break with the kids it was very sad for me to see my littlest one go off to school this year. It has been a trial over the last few months geting a grip on the fact that I would be on my own for many hours each day......this has not happened for me for 18 years. I have always had a little one or two home with me untill now. Here's some shots of him heading to the school bus on his first day.....Yes he did go on the bus, he very much wanted to, which left me to drive myself to the school to make sure he settled in fine. Which of course he did.



Anyway I mourned that fact for a while and then booked myself into a photography course. I'm now back studying full time, as I do Certificate 4 in Photo Imaging. It was my first week this week and while being very busy I totally loved it...bar the fact for the OH&S subject. Although I have loved working in the Scrapbooking Industry, it always felt to me like a hobby still. I couldn't really take it seriously.......because it was basicaly too much fun. It has never felt like working. I know i have been very fortunate to do many of the things I have and I have loved so many of the opportunities Scrapbooking has given me but still it feels to easy. I'm in need of more challenge. I still plan on doing what I do with regards to Scrapbooking, I'm not going to disapear from it as I love it so much. I just wish to advance my photography more as it was my first love, the one that drew me to Scrapbooking in the first place.
