  • Prima Blog Hop !

    It's International Scrapbooking Day which means thousands of people all over the world are celebrating this fabulous hobby together and all of us at Prima are joining in the fun!

    BLOG HOP ICON

    If you made your way here from Frank's Blog, then congratulations, I'm next on the list, and if you found me accidently, why not join in!   The Prima team is worldwide so this blog hop will take you for miles, checking out fabulous projects and inspiration on the way.

    Before I send you to the next blog on the list, check this out – this link is perfect for tuning in from 9am when Prima are running just about non-stop 'Live with Prima' classes, many of them streamed live right from the Prima warehouse.

    There'll be classes by Cari, Sharon, Jamie, Drew, Jodie-Lee and Frank.  There will be live chats, prizes and non stop inspiration – a Live with Prima Marathon, perfect for those at home.  Like me.  Autumn rain outside, kids playing lego and enjoying the 'May the 4th' star wars marathon I've organised and I'll be scrapbooking with some of my fav Prima instructors all day long.

    Right – so let's get this blog hop moving, from here why not check out Janine Koczwara's blog, always full of inspiration, Janine is one of my favourite Prima Educators as she mixes masculine and Prima so well.  We loved her work so much we have her coming along to the Prima ArtVenture retreat here in New Zealand in September, along with Louise Nelson, Trina McClune and myself. 

    I'm leaving you with a sneak peek of a little something I have coming up with Prima – but before that, if you want the complete list of blogs to hop, here it is – have fun with everything International Scrapbook Day has to offer around blog land – enjoy!

  • Unwritten.

    I was going to be a writer 'when I grew up'.  That or a florist, I've mentioned it before.  It's kind of ironic that I've ended up creating scrapbooking pages for a living, in a way it combines my love of both.

    But although I don't update my blog as often as I should, or create scrapbook pages as much as I should, I'm constantly 'writing' in my head.  I'm constantly thinking of things I can write about on my blog, in my pages, in my Project Life, all of those things.

    These lyrics, looked for and saved about 6 years ago, were one of these instances.  I heard them, loved them and knew one day I wanted to use them.   When I was contacted to be a guest designer for PaperHaus magazine, I found a pic I loved and it seemed perfect to use these lyrics.  Even after 6 years.

    I love the idea that our future is unwritten. 
    We can sculpt it the way we want, we can be anything we want as long as we genuinely try and discard the things that are holding us back.
