Hello world ....8 years on!

I am still in disbelief that it has been 8 years since I last blogged. I was even more surprised to find this blog still here, yes I was still logged in! Do people still even use blogger? 

I never really explained where I went last time. I just packed up my stash and decided I was done. Dropping all my DT roles, sold my gear and life moved on. Something I loved so much just became too much. Something I started as a type of therapy became the opposite. Why I am here again you may wonder? Paper, paint and all those pretty little things have drawn me back in after a major hiatus.

So anyway, 8 years on... I have lost both my parents, my nest if empty with my son moving out with his girlfriend and starting his life. We have a new house, I am back at my old business and life is still ticking away. So about a month ago, I started creating again. Just for myself, occasionally for etsy. And I am really enjoying the slow pace of it. My style a slightly different version of the old, simpler, less chaotic...that may change. I have no idea if anyone will even read this, but just felt like sharing some of my creations :)

Hey guys :)

Dropping in today to share a mini album created from my favourite new Prima Marketing Winter CHA lines. Memory Hardware and Archivist collections by the very talented and not to mention sweet, Frank Gracia.

Love everything about these two lines, the colors, vintage feel, metal embellishments..it's all so swoon worthy!!

And I can't resist sharing this photo as it makes me so happy...
