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!

I love capturing insects in the garden too Liz - ones of bees I find often come out really well and often have a lot of detail too! Thanks for stopping by!

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!
