You ask....well, you know that thing called life? It just ran away with me, and I can tell you all, I was in a dark place for a while. I can thank a very skilled acupuncturist and a lot of positive thinking for my return from the dark side. I am really at a emotional and creative crossroads...I want to scrapbook, but my mind has been so consumed by the financial burden of keeping ahead of the trends and trying to be cutting edge, that I kinda lost myself in the process. I am now able to think more clearly than I have in ages, thanks to some stress relieving acupuncture I am able to seriously look at what I have become and say NO, this isn't the direction I want to go in. Clear as mud? Check out my signature line, it is missing something...but I am NOT missing it.
I am sitting in the midst of absolute carnage, I have ripped everything out of my drawers , cupboards, storage containers, and am for the first time am seriously decluttering my creative space. I really need this clean sweep, for my sanity as well as my scrap room's sake.
I still have catalogues from CHA 2006, samples, and bits and pieces, all over the place, I just did the unthinkable and binned the lot! I mean really, how many cutters does one person need? ONE, not 4! I figure I can get rid of a lot of stuff that is still good, but just so not necessary for one person! So I decided a SCRAPBOOKING GARAGE SALE is the way to go.
I am seriously thinking about re-organising my entire scraproom, as it just isn't working at the moment! I think though I will wait till I have finished de-cluttering so I can take stock of how much space I really have.
I have also been busy designing and sewing bedding packages for a couple of boats which will be on show at the SYDNEY Boat Show this weekend. Check out the Caribbean Stand for two boats I decked out in sumptuous bedlinen!
