I am…..
Sometimes I find Scrapbooking a little scary… I think it is partly the journaling side of it, I love journaling on Scrapbooking and I do believe its important but I always spend hours thinking about what to say and then end up using quotes. I am very proud of myself with this layout because I journaled from my heart and feelings. I journaled about “what I am…” and not about what I am not… I did this page a little wait ago at a stage in my life were I needed to remind myself what I am to others and what I am to myself…..
Click on the below image if you want to read my journaling.

Hi Teneale,
This page is just lovely…..it is hard to start scrapbooking about yourself. I did my first page about me only a few weeks ago…and I’m so glad I did. It is so important to scrapbook your story…..if you don’t then who will? You have done a fabulous job with this page. Congratulations! It is simpy divine. Anita xx

Hi Teneale,
It was lovely to meet you in Sydney on Saturday, although very briefly, and thanks for the swap :). I have been a huge fan of your beautiful cards for a long time, and think this page is also gorgeous. Thanks for all the inspiration you have given me.

Teneale, this is a very inspirational scrapbook page. I have trouble with journalling and therefore haven’t scrapbooked in a little while, but this has really inspired me to try harder and point out the good things! Thanks x
