(Not quite) Wordless Wednesday

Jumping on the Wordless Wednesday here on the blog. Hopefully next week it actually will be wordless!!

I should be here today but a friend pulled out at the last minute and I didn't much fancy going on my own...did that last year and it was pretty miserable. Watching it on the TV instead.

I'm literally bursting with excitement...

...about this:

It's been on sale for a little while now, but I wanted to wait until the new blog was up and running until I shared this with you!

Towards the end of last year I submitted an idea for a book to the lovely people over at Ella Publishing all about being single and scrapbooking about it. If I'm honest, I forgot all about it until one day back in March I got the loveliest email from Angie Lucas, owner of Ella Publishing saying that she loved my idea and that she'd love for me to write an eBook adapted from my original idea.

And there began the most incredible journey of me writing my own scrapbooking eBook...I still have to pinch myself sometimes to check I'm not dreaming!! It was such a fun experience and Angie was just wonderful to work with. I been so so lucky.

So, here it is...'Scrapbooking Your Single Years'...here's what the lovely people at Ella have to say about it...

I promise you that you won't regret it if you buy it...the list of contributors I got to work with in this book is astounding: Geralyn Sy, Allison Landy, Amy Tan, Sarah Champion, Sara Benzkofer, Megan Powell, Caroline Ikeji, Cheryl Manz-Ametwee and Angie Lucas...there is such serious talent in there! I'm so lucky these girls all agreed to contribute!


The other good news is that I have a copy of the book to give away to one lucky blog reader. Please leave a comment and I'll draw a winner next week.

Welcome to my new-look blog...

I am SO thrilled to be able to share my new-look blog with you. It was definitely time for a change...I was feeling rather uninspired about blogging, so I decided it was time to mix it up a bit and get a new design for it. Many many thanks to the very talented Danielle Moss for doing this for me...I love it!


You may have noticed that I've deleted all previous posts. I thought long and hard about this and came to the conclusion that it was time for a completely new start here on the blog. I need to start as I mean to go on and I felt that this should include starting with a completely blank canvas. I've got so many ideas for cool features that I want to make a regular thing here and am hoping to start them this week. I'm also hoping to start sharing a bit more about me on a personal level...looking back at previous posts, I felt that was a major thing lacking here.


If there's anything that you'd like to see here, do let me know!


I'll be back a bit later today to share some very exciting news with you!
