Well Hi there everyone its been a very long time since I posted on my blog . So firstly to up date you where Ive been and what I have been up to .Last september  I applied and got a job as a Sales and Training Manager for New South Wales so of course I moved to Sydney and have been working for the last 12 months .

I continued to scrap while I was down there but not as frequently as I would have liked . I also had the opportunity to teach some of my mixed media projects in a wonderful shop at Bella Vista called Fantasia  http://www.fantasia.com.au.
I enjoyed my time in Sydney and met and worked with some awesome people

While in Sydney I was able to connect with my Aunty Elaine ( my mothers sister and who was recently diagnosed with bowel cancer ) and my cousins .

 My Cousin Wayne cooked me plenty of roasts which helped with my homesickness .

 In July I came back to Brisbane to hold Shaz &Als retreat ,with my good friend Alison Bevis ( who is on the Kasier Craft Design team )

While in Brisbane seeing all my friends and Family I felt in my heart it was time to come home.
Since coming home I have had lots to do and cope with and life was frantic at first . I had to move back into my house ,It had been vacated under unpleasant circumstances . My son was placed back in a mental health facility and my youngest daughter had her third baby .
Baby Luke was born with a rare heart condition and was not expected to live very long . He decided he had other plans and wanted to stay around . He has grown and astounded the Doctors and was released from hospital after only 5 weeks .

Life has been hectic but I have had many blessings showered on my . My life is not what it was ,but I am grateful for all I have been given. I have had lots of scrapping opportunities along the way and will post them here over the next little while . Its nice to be back in the blogging world and hope you'll all come back for a visit to see what crafty things Iam up to and new products I have found . thanks again for visiting , Cheers Shazz .
