Well it's out. On facebook at least. So maybe I should put something up here... You know... this is a time where I should have had something prepared. Unfortunately I have been waaaay too busy. Even today! Among all the craziness I've held onto my little secret for near on three months! THREE MONTHS!!! Not even my family know... well hubby did. He saw the parcels and packages arriving and was a tad curious...
So what is my secret?
I can proudly announce that I am a 2012 Scrapbooking Memories Master!!
One of ten amazing people throughout Australia! My nine fellow Master's are so amazing ... well.. I do kind of feel insignificant. And I am not just saying that! :) I really do wonder at why I was chosen. I did love my entry but I was in complete turmoil when I sent it off. Two days before the due date.
Mark told me to do it. He actually organised it all for me to sit down and finish the job. Especially when I didn't have the heart to enter it anymore. He was my rock. So I thank him for pushing me.
Don't get me wrong. I am absolutely thrilled. So thrilled that when I received that phone call from Cassie at Scrapbooking Memories, I cried. Sorry. True story. :) She may have been a little surprised! hee hee... It has been somewhat of a roller coaster ride. You see, my Dad had passed away in the middle of all this. I was so keen to enter for the first time this year (previous years I had had no confidence), that I had two layouts completed right from the very start. Then we went away on our holiday. And immediately as we returned home, we got the devastating news about Dad.
So my heart wasn't in it. At that time.
I don't want to come across as ungrateful. I am in shock. Even after three months. I am however, excited for what the next twelve months will bring. I am ecstatic to meet new amazing people and learn from them. I hope I can live up to the honor of being called a Master. And most of all... I hope I can create some inspiration for you all to enjoy...x
Thanks for visiting.

Dedicated in loving memory to my Dad....x
