Wow I can't believe it has been over 2 years since I last posted a blog on this Blog. It's been a while... Lots has happened in the last 2 years. Yes I am still with Close To My Heart. I am now a Senior supervisor as I have signed up a couple of new consultants this year. It has been a rather exciting year. One of my consultants is so excited this excitement has rubbed of on me. Hence this blog post. I still love to craft and share my passion for paper craft. I continue to hold crops, craft classes, camps and retreats. This year instead of going to Hanmer Springs for retreat. We held camps locally. One at Teapot Valley and another at Kimi-ora Eco Resort near Kaiteriteri. Such fun was had, that we are doing it all again at the same venues next year 2020. I am holding my second Crafters Destash Market for this year. Coming up on the 20th October at the Stoke Memorial hall. 9am till 1pm. There will be all sorts of ra...
What I like most about doing scrapbooking, I enjoy catching up with friend(s). Bouncing ideas of one and other. "Does this work with that picture etc". This is my time to chill out from the busyness from the day to day activities with littlies at home. My littlies love to see what I have created in their albums. The joy on their faces are delightful. My very first scrapbook course my mum dragged me along to with my first baby only a few months old. I learnt the basics at a local college course. My mum then took me along to a full day workshop the following January. I loved it so much, it was my day out for me to do something creative, and to refuel my energy tanks. While Dad or the grandparents looked after the littlie. I then started going along to monthly workshops. I could even take my baby number 2 along, while she was being breastfeed and wasn't crawling around. These workshops were so much fun. I hosted a couple of Creative Memories parties...
My mum is turning 60 this year. I am going to do an album for her to cover her life in 60 years. Yesterday I spent the day sorting through all her photos (took a few hours), some mixed altogether in boxes. I then separated some photos for her 60th album. Also went through albums putting post it notes on pages to scan photos onto computer. Today (29th May 14) I scanned photos onto computer. I discovered on the back of some of the photos dates and little stories she had written about what was happening/or who were in the photos or what year. So scanned the back of the photos too. If there were dates in the album took a quick little note and scanned it too. Then went through some of my photos in albums found some of mum and scanned those too. My thoughts for mum's album is to do a page a year, for the earlier years there might not be that many, then I can do some double pages later on, especially when I get around to sorting through the photos...
