You know its time to do a blog post when people start emailing you and asking if you are ok right ?
So what the heck have I been doing, you ask ? Just simply taking some time. Not so much time away from scrapbooking or away from my studio. I’ve just been taking time out from spending so much of my time on it and spending more time with my family. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much time I spend in my studio. I will always scrapbook but I have come to the conclusion over the last couple of months that while I was busy recording our memories on scrapbook pages and mini albums I was missing out on making new memories. I was so involved with the scrapbooking industry that I was not spending as much time as I wanted just being with my girls. I don’t want them to remember in years to come that Mummy spent hours and hours in her studio “working”. I want their memories of me to be of me spending time with them. Being there for them. They are growing up so fast and I want to be a part of that.
I’m still scrapbooking, in fact I have done some of my favourite projects over the last couple of months. I’ve just not spending as much time showcasing my work on my blog. Fancy Pants have released some gorgeous products at CHA and I have been lucky enough to have my DT box already. I'll be sharing some of my new projects soon.
I've been working on a mini album of our trip to America last year.
I've been making birdhouses andy layouts for Scrapware. They were on display at SENZ.
There is so much more to share but i'll save that for another day .....
we're totally in the same place in regards to pulling back from scrapping a bit, they grow up too fast aye? Good move xx

The girls are growing up fast and time just seems to disappear.
Sometimes we have to make those choices and do what is right for us :-)
So nice to see you back.
