Here is the canvas I created today. It is inspired by Mel Forbes's class that I attended on Saturday at Just Scrapbooking. I have made this as a gift ofr someone special.

Ok, here goes!!!

Iam trying to take photos of my recent layouts. If you have any tips for taking a good layout, let me know?! I cropped them all in Picasa afterwards to cut out back grounds.

Here is an updated version of the price list. I realised afterwards I missed a few of the Moisturisers!

I am looking at possibly going to a few markets or swapmeets, so if you know of any upcoming markets or festivals etc that have stalls, let me know.

I am really excited about doing Mel Forbes class tomorrow at Just Scrapbooking!

Take care,

Rosie Claire's

I have been slightly distracted from my scrapbooking this week. (oops)

My gorgeous and clever friend, Louise (not Louise from Just Scrapbooking) has started making the most beautiful homemade soaps, moisturiser and lip balms. She makes them in lots of yummy flavours. I have been selling them for her. She loves creating, and I love telling and showing my friends. I just love it, the prices are great and Louise uses all natural products. She has done training courses and has a huge interest in all things natural.

When she told me what commercial soap is made from, I vowed never to by it again! I am now encouraging her to research making other natural products! Tonight she got me try her first Tia Maria Lip Balm, YUM! I am a coffee addict, so this was pure joy! I love being a Guinea Pig! LOL

Before Christmas, when I first tried her moisturising cream, Angie asked (demanded) lip gloss with glitter please. She wanted it like lipstick in a tube. Louise went away and came back just after Christmas with a bag of gorgeous lip balms in a variety of scents for Angie to try and keep. She even made them complete with natural mica instead of glitter! I tried them all and was impressed with how long it keeps your lips moisturised.

With Louise's permission I created some order forms and pricelists and have kind of become an accidental sales rep, unofficially!!

I will post more info soon, as I am setting up email address etc. Will post photos to tease you all though!!!!

Oh my goodness!

What have I done? This blogging stuff is more full on than I thought! I have been researching how to make it all pretty, thanks for your email Jordie! It helped and confused at the same time!

I will try to take photos of some scrapbooking layouts and post them this weekend. I am attending the twelve hour crop tomorrow at Just Scrapbooking, which I am really looking forward to. The girls who regularly scrap there are good fun and we have lots of laughs. Although I might need a helmet if Yvonne is coming, as she likes throwing lollies at me!
Anyway, keep an aye out for photos soon!

First time Blogger

I have been convinced by a very good friend of mine that I should have a blog. So here I am. My name is Naomi and I am a happily married mum of three. I live in beautiful Perth and I am studying at the University of Notre Dame in Fremantle. I am studying for a Bachelor in Early childhood Education. I had a semester off in the second have of last year, but heading back to Uni shortly.

I am a Scrapaholic. There, I confessed. I am very lucky that my sister shares my addiction and she owns a scrapbooking shop, only a minute's drive from home. Much to my husbands disgust!
So every week I try to set aside some time for to scrapbook, either at the store (usually) or at home.

After being diagnosed with Depression some years ago, I call scrapbooking my "Therapy". Through scrapping I have met and made lots of new friends who share my passion. I have a weekly outlet and an excuse to get out of the house. I believe, as adults we are not allowed play time, like children are, our creativity is stifled. People often say when they start scrapbooking, that they have no creativity! I think everyone has cretivity. Just some of us don't get the chance to practise it very often as adults.

This blog will be under construction, so bear with me while I try to work it all out.
