I'm Back!! And I'm Heidified

Wow well its 2015 and 2 years and 8 months since my last post apologizing for neglecting my blog and followers. Again I find myself having to apologize but this time i don't really have any good reason for it other than i got lazy and forgetful. Sorry to my followers and I hope to rekindle my blog and maintain an active following.

A lot has happened since my last post and I cant remember it all but I can inform you my Nana has gone into remission for the lymphoma but now has lung cancer which has be caught early and she is once again in the process of treatment. She isn't as sick as last time so that is a positive.

You may ask why all of a sudden have I decided to restart blogging again the simple answer is Heidi Swapp but if i was to just give you the simple answer I wouldn't have a post for you to read (I bet your regretting asking why now LOL).
Just over a year ago I discovered this amazing woman an became besotted with her and her ideas instantly. She has such passion for memory keeping and its contagious. I have spent the last 12 months  purchasing and building my stash of all her yummmmy products and now find myself with quite the stash. I found it a real challenge finding some of her older ranges but thanks to some awesome Aussie online stores such as Sassy Scrapper and Scrappin Clearly I was able to get quite a lot of what I wanted. I would hate to know just how much I have spent in the last year but I think I would have come close to paying for Heidi's income for half of it. Anyway I signed up for her Capture 30 online class in November last year and ordered my kit locally (which turned out to be a real waiting game due to strikes in the US) and waited impatiently for it to begin. I had never done an online before and was very unsure on how it all worked but thanks to Kim Jeffress taking time to answer my seemingly silly questions I had an idea of what to expect. I started the class a little late as we were on holiday in Melbourne but managed to catch up fairly quickly thanks to the great way the class was run and one of the challenges was to set myself goals to achieve through out the year which I did and is not something I usually do but one of them was to try and make it onto a Design team somewhere in this huge industry so this brings me to why I decided to start blogging as I need an active blog to be able to be on one of these teams. My ultimate and very far fetched long term goal (probably more of a wish) is to get on Heidi's Design Team :D
 I hope to bring you inspiration and lots of cool layout that you can scraplift to your hearts content no copy rights here :)
