Why I do what I do

If you've been around here for any length of time, you'll know that I love love love scrapbooking! Absolutely love it!

I love me some traditional scrapbooking with MyReflections, pocket scrapbooking with PictureMyLife, and sometimes a bit of digital scrapbooking. Its an easy way to unleash my inner kid (with all the crayons and pretty paper and glue I can get my hands on) and also record the day to day stories of my life and my family. (If I don't do it, who will?)

Part of my job as wife and mama is to record our family stories. I am the keeper of my family's stories and history, a duty I take great pride and pleasure in! A duty that I love teaching others how to do through a variety of ways. Someday I'll be able to show our future children their big sister and big brother's albums. Someday my great grandkids can find out all about how I emigrated to Australia just by reading my albums.



At Close To My Heart, we believe in capturing and preserving memories and helping you celebrate the relationships that matter most.
