Is anybody out there?

Well, this is the third blog I've had.  I used to be a pretty regular blogger, but life intervened and I deleted the previous ones.  However, in the next three months I should have some time to myself again and thought I would have another go!  I have a pretty full schedule with a full time job (during school term-time), two boys to run to various activities, a house to run and (at the moment) a course which they said would take about 240 hours of my time over the year.  Yeah, right.  Second year-long course in a row, too.  Talk about a glutton for punishment!  But, I've not had enough time for creating, so I won't be signing up for another one in a hurry!

So, what do I do?  I used to be a cross-stitcher before I decided that babies and needles didn't mix.  I made cards for sale for a while, then discovered scrapbooking.  I still make cards, but mostly as a disciplined way to used up all those scraps left over from my scrapping!  I love to take photos, too, but again, not enough time as a rule to do as much as I used to. 

This time I'm hoping to blog at least once a week, sometimes more - we will see how it goes.

In the mean time, here's one of my more recent layouts, done for a competition at Scrapbook Express - a recipe based competition, so not necessarily the things I would always put together, but I think it works!
