Two posts in one day - that hasn't happened in YEARS. I have a lot to catch up on because I am such a hopeless blogger these days, mostly due to lack of time and inspiration. And a little person who won't let me sit at the computer for more than 5 minutes.
Anyway, I had a nice child-free day on Saturday. I went to a Creative Memories Memoranza day and spent the day scrapbooking, or at least trying to (I am a beginner and therefore not very good at it), getting lots of inspiration from other people and spending a bit more money.....it really is turning into a serious addiction. I always wanted to get into scrapbooking and had a go at it a few years back but my pages looked very....what's the word......CRAP! A friend of mine has become a CM consultant and I am having lots of fun trying out all the lovely album kits, stickers, papers and other goodies. I have always loved stationery - the look, the smell. Just love it.
I completed about 7 pages on the day and won the major raffle! A huge bundle of paper collections, photo mats, stickers and titles. Exciting stuff for a beginner.
I am of course mostly scrapbooking the kids' photos but hope to move onto some older family photos and get them out of those horrible old albums with the plastic sheeting. My mother has dozens of those, with yellowing pages and photos deteriorating by the minute.
Yeah! Updates from down under!
Glad to hear all is well. Hopefully Amelie wont be running around the house with the toilet paper all over the place :)
How is life with working and being at home? Is it a good combo for you?
