| My passion -- Friday April 8 |

By request... a post about my passion... scrapbooking!
Firstly, you don't have to be mega-creative to be a scrapbooker... you just have to love photos and want to preserve your memories. And it's not a granny craft either... most of the scrapbookers I know are young (under 30)... it's the most amazing, uplifting, relaxing, exciting and addictive hobby! I've met some of my most precious friends through it too.
If you're curious and want to see what all the fuss is about, there is a truckload of info on the web. My fave sites are Scrapboxx, Two Peas in a Bucket (check out the 'Creating Garden') and Blue Bazaar. But maybe the best way for a beginner to get started is to pick up a copy of Scrapbooking Memories magazine. It's the best Aussie mag and there's a listing in the back of scrapbooking stores all over Aus, so you can go shopping or sign up for a class.
I'll share some of my work... if you want to see more just go to the gallery at Scrapboxx :)
This is my latest layout... about my gorgeous Mum! I'm gonna frame this for her for Mothers Day... hope she doesn't come on here and see it first! lol.
This is a little mini book I made about six months ago. It's about my first year with Miles... every second page is an envelope I've filled with memorabilia about our first year together (movie tickets, cards, printouts of emails etc). This one was featured in Scrapbooking Memories recently.
This one is from my Book of Me (an album I'm working on that's all about me... hopefully there'll be some weightloss-themed layouts in there soon!) It's called Things I Love About Being a Woman. On the little circles I've written about all the best things about being a gal!

One last one! This is a mini accordian album I made for Miles' mum. The piccies are of Miles and his younger brother when they were little. Aren't they cute!!
If you're still with me... thanks heaps for looking! :)

Bi s so creative girls!! A1 definitely - puts my work to shame I think... B - you should have showed the one about your weight-loss goals...
Kelli... don't worry about being creative - it comes eventually - I started out copying lots of other's ideas from mags, then my own creativity kicked in....B's and my earlier stuff were a lot more basic than some of this gorgeous stuff!!
Love you B!
