This is me and my family who are always my inspiration and motivation.
I live in sunny Queensland, Australia with my husband Thomas and three young children (Amelia age 8, Noah age nearly 5 and Oliver age 2).
I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home-mum. I spend my days changing nappies, making sandwiches, doing school and kindy drop offs and pick ups and trying to stay on top of the never-ending washing, feeding and tidying that comes with three kids!
But I am, and always have been a creative person. I've been scrapbooking for over fourteen years now and I can't imagine my life without it. I still love it just as much as I did back then as it encompasses everything I love - memories, photos, memorabilia and pretty things.
I'm inspired by my photos and the stories I want to tell. You will rarely find a layout from me without meaningful journaling. I love the idea of my kids (and future grandkids even) reading about my thoughts and experiences through my scrapbooking.
I've been involved in the scrapbooking industry for a loooong time, through magazine publications, manufacturer design teams, working at scrapbook stores and running classes and workshops.
This blog has evolved from my need to focus more on the fundamental goal of my scrapbooking, that is adding together words and photos. My hope is to inspire others to appreciate and reflect upon their lives more by this simple process - modern memory keeping.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you find it inspiring.
