Well, I have finally succumbed to the online networking gig. Those that know me will realise why I have been so anti social networking sites.... up until now. I still feel a bit nervous posting this but I figure it is for a good cause and I have done whatever I can to protect myself and my family. I'm sorry that it must sound a bit cryptic to those that don't know me in person... its about the line of work I did in my "previous life".
It really does feel like a previous life to me at the moment. I haven't been to work since the end of October 2009 and although I do miss my workmates and I do admit I had the best time, I have no desire to leave this SAHM gig anytime soon. My last six months leave is going to go quick. I am under no disillusions there but I am just enjoying this time so much.
That brings me to the cause of my new role as a....MUM! My darling little girl is growing so fast it really doesn't seem fair. As I am only having one child (for reasons which may or may not present themselves in this blog one day in the future) I kinda feel a little cheated that she is developing quicker than the manual suggests. In any case, Molly is the reason I scrap at the moment. I want to leave her a lasting, physical book of memories of our time together and my thoughts on just how great and beautiful I think she is. And her Dad, Nana and Poppy think she is. She really couldn't be loved anymore than she is. Good grief I could go on for hours about her but I won't. Her father gets sick of that, and he is her dad!
Anywayz, whilst I have been a SAHM I have delved into the online world of scrapbooking, seeking and finding inspiration in the layouts of many many talented woman, buying copious amounts of supplies online and even entering the odd online layout comp. I would never expect to win a comp as I readily admit I am a very average scrapper but I have discovered that some comps are just about being in it to win it.
So this blog really is about "moving forward" (I think we have heard that once or twice this year) for me. I am seeking honest opinions and suggestions and am very open to criticism. I just want to learn and then hone the art of scrapbooking so my daughter ends up with something reasonably ok.
If you are reading this I am flattered. Thanks so much for your time. God knows that it has been 5 minutes you will never get back!
