Rural Victoria, Australia
I began scrapbooking in September 2002 and it quickly became so much more than a hobby - there is not a day that goes by where I do not think about scrapbooking in one form or another. I love the fact that I am able to 'capture' so many memories about my photographs and our lives that will be treasured for many years to come.
Interests: When I'm not spending time with Family or Friends I enjoy Scrapbooking, Photography, Family History Research, Cooking, Gardening, Swimming and Cross Stitching

I would most definitely love to try these socks - especially the Alpaca Health Sock . . . the colours look yummy!
I've been most prepared to pay more for Australian manufactured items for quite some time and will continue to do so too!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!
Are you prepared to pay extra to keep manufacturing in Australia?
I’ve purchased more ‘new’ items in the past few months than I have in the previous few years. Most of the gear I needed or wanted for Wildendurance was impossible to find second hand. There were trail runners, compression tights, shorts, back pack, quick dry t–shirt, light weight rain jacket, an...

Monach Butterfly In Our Garden - Shirley Fyfe
Unfortunately I don't have a tutorial on this . . . my friend Lisa showed us how to make it and whilst I did take a few notes here & there at the time, I haven't kept anything so that I could make another . . . if I do happen to come across something though, I'll be sure to let you know!
Patchwork 'Diamond' Bag
Having shared my Patchwork Apron, I realised that I hadn't shared my second sewing project in a number of years and that was this cute Patchwork Diamond Bag. Thanks Lisa for taking us step-by-step through the process of making it! This is the first piece of patchwork I have done since I create...
Thanks so much for the feedback everyone! Tasmania is indeed a very beautiful place and is rich is so much history at the same time!

Happy New Year!
2012 has arrived & what a year it is going to be! 2012 will see me increasing my hours of work from 1 day to three and after a 13 year absence I'll become a 4-Year-Old Kindergarten Teacher once again. With the increase in hours & responsibilities, I've decided to decrease some of my voluntary...

Cluedo & UNO Stacko
Despite a relatively coolish start to our Australian Summer, the season has now taken hold with us enduring some days mid to high thirty degree temperatures. Whilst I've been getting out into the garden nice & early - before the heat takes hold, we've spent the afternoons indoors - PS3, iPod To...

January Work in Progress Kit
Found some time to play with my kit, and I knew the moment I saw it that it was going to be a mini, just had to figure out what kind of mini. And then with so many monthly goals, I decided this would be perfect. But instead of using the full sheets of chipboard that came in the kit, I cut one i...
