I.......

I am in one of those places where you no longer know which way to turn.

I am in one of those rooms where all the walls are moving in.

I am in relationships that hurt and scare me.

I am in one of those times where you dont know who really likes you and who is your enemy.

I am in one of those frames of mind where I want no enemies, just simplicity and light.

I am in one of those worlds where I miss my nana with all my being.

I am in one of the holes I have so often climbed out of but dont know if I can again.

I am in a life that I cant define or explain and I cant move forward or backwards.

I am at a point that I have to scream and ask why.

I am in a dream where you are the only smiling face that brings me through the day.

I am in a nightmare that I created and allowed others to create around me.

I am in my faith deeper than ever before.

I suppose what I am saying is I am in need..............................

Once.....

Sisiversary workshop......

I just wanted to share my workshop with you all (picture by Amber). We did several techniques but mainly concentrated on out of the box scrapping. We had amazing sponsership from Jenni Bowlin, American crafts and Tonic (Thanks tim!)

Scrapping with your heart and not thinking about the perfection in things. I wanted to share my journaling and change things for these girls....make it easier to talk and be open.

But you know what I changed me. I saw something that I think I need to do and my path in scrapbooking. I want to keep it for me at the moment but I will show you someday....

So thank you ladies who took my class. Thank you Diane for being my honest friend. Thank you JJ for your faith in me. Amber and Kim and Rhi for loving eyes and glances. Courtney for being beautiful in and out. Ashley for her comforting hugs. Sarah for her talent, Becca for her outlook and comfort ,Korbyn and Elly, Traci and the highway patrol who stopped us!

My Sis adventure has had its moments but I dont regret that sunday morning reading the DT call and thinking "ooooh I like that"......

I love being a Fashionista and I love my friendships and the fact that I had to face demons to get there......life is not always easy but its always my adventure and it brings me home.

Trial and tribulation....

but I miss this......

I miss the long car journey, the smiling faces, the firework stores, nearly being hit by lightening. Diane being pulled by a cop, Traci's amusing tales. Korbyn and her AMAZING twisting life. Elly and her cheeky grin.

Kim and her amazing sarcasm, Rhi and her english ways. I miss Ashley and courtney....like I always do.

I miss Diane and her kids, JJ and the beautiful Pheonix,

Plantations, Sonic and Target.

I miss the small time I had to be annonimous. Where no one knew me and people had a chance to see the real me. I miss the time I should have said no and the time I should have walked. The chance I had to just be still and listen. I miss jody and the time we didnt have.

It all passed so fast but each moment is etched on my brain.

I miss my friends

I miss those who struggle too and who understand. I miss the calmness and the "its ok to be sad". I am sorry but I miss the "undutch" way of being able to grieve and be sad, that I DONT have to be strong.....

I just miss it...............

Hambly heaven

So I am back, sleepy and very very tired. I met so many wonderful women. I made new friends and learnt some hard lessons. I am so blessed to be a part of SISTV..... Well over the next days I will post some adventures :) On an other note....did you guess?.....yes I was asked to be guest DT on Hambly 

I had such fun and so much yummy product to play with......Allison has a great give away so go check it out!!!! 

My great friend Florence Bavink let me use the photos she took of Olivia to make her a special baby book. You should check out Flos site, she is an AMAZING photographer....thank you Flo!

See you tomorrow, I am sooooooooo sleepy!! x

Big things in my little world

So it was my turn to do this weeks tutorial at SISTV.....and this is it

I am so in love with it. Its on our dining table and It really makes me happy!

Go over and check out the tutorial at http://www.scrapinstyletv.typepad.com/challenges/ (sorry my link thing isnt working!)

Busy few days, I am packing, making kits, washing, finishing my guest DT projects, writing articles and trying to work out why I spend most of my days daydreaming and not doing what I should be doing. I just make my life so chaotic!!!

I have a new doctor whom I am really finding a bond with and she is helping me so much to "deal" with things. My trip to USA scares me but I think for my health its a good trip and so does she. So I will take a deep breath and go.....have a fun weekend and I will be back tomorrow to tell you just who I am guest DT for and some news about Amazon books!

Hugs

Bloomin marvelous

If you love flowers and you want to totally be inspired pop over to Sistv and register for my girly Andreas class!

She is the queen of blooms :) and you wont be disappointed.

Really up to my neck in personal deadlines and packing for the USA, next week I will be a guest designer for ....well I cant say but it is the highlight of my scrapbooking "career"....

Life is still throwing a billion challenges at me, on an hourly basis. I am trying hard and I am listening to myself along the way. This time next year it will all be different......I promise. Certain things have had to move sideways and for the first time in my life I know I have to fix the cracks and not just slap a piece of paper over the top, hoping they go away......x

Welcome to Heaven

In just over a week I will be flying to Nashville to have some well wanted and needed creative and emotional stimulation!

I am so nervous about teaching this class, but I really need the trip. I am honoured to to be asked and its come at a moment that I so need my long distant friends.

So I started a blog for my class to share sneak peaks and sponser details (which are so cool!) If you are taking my class pop over to the blog and say hi...:)
