    Goodness it has been a while!

    Well hello everyone! It has certainly been a while but I think it is time I came back! I have now closed my sewing business and retired so now have much more time for myself plus I have gained a couple more grandchildren since I was last here.......oh and (whispers)....a couple of great grandchildren as well!)....so the scrapping opportunities are immense!

    I have just been sorting out one of our spare bedrooms in preparation for moving and realised I had about 20 years of scrapbooks stash in the cupboards......and that is a whole lot of stuff. I thought it would be a couple of hours of a job however it may turn into a couple of weeks work instead!

    I have just spent about 2 hours just stroking stuff saying 'ohhhhh' and remembering where it all came from. And up to now I have put nothing on the rubbish pile!

    Found loads of stuff from the 'Scrapaganza' years. Anyone remember the amazing times we had there? And the brilliant classes?

    I've also found 5 Christmas albums I did with Shimelle. Definitely doing one of those again this year!

    Found about 15 cj's which I took part in.......might need to look into joining another in a couple of months when I am sorted.

    Now I need to get myself up to date with everything and see what is new out there! I bet there are plenty of new companies around now.......which obviously I will not be buying from as I have more than enough to be going on with! Now then where is the link to the sponsors........

    Anyway once again 'hello' everyone!
    Julie.

    Welcome back Julie.
    Sounds like you have plenty to keep you going !! Although a little new stash never hurts

    I remember scrapaganza, they were the Alicia retreats weren’t they ? I went to a couple of them, They were big events

    Enjoy your rediscovered hobby Xx

    Hi Alison, thanks for the welcome! Finally made some headway but had to be ruthless and throw small peices of cardstock away!

    The Scrapaganza ones I mean were organised by Heidi Hasz Heideveld in Holland...did you go to any of those?

    I am itching to get started with something but no inspiration yet ......and no space.

    Hi Elaine, yes, I have so much lovely paper, card and embellishments which are now finally sorted.

    Are 7Gypsies still about? I must look. I have loads of their goodies.

    Just need some inspiration to get me going and then I will end up rooting in the boxes I have just packed! hahaha!

    Oh no, I didn’t go to any in Holland!
    I don’t think 7 gypsies are still with us, some companies have gone but new ones have appeared fortunately so there’s still plenty of temptation out there

    Welcome back! You sound like you are raring to go. I also had some time away from scrapping, and I noticed it's definitely quieter here than it used to be: but quality wins over quantity, I say, LOL.

    Have a look around the site - there are still sponsors, and there are lots of challenges to inspire you. You may notice the boards have been re-organised. If you need any help, just holler, and someone will point you in the right direction.

    Must be the season for it... my first time back here for many many years. Life has changed so much. Well I have a new home office and have started sorting through an embarrassing amount of stash that was boxed up years ago so it seems rude not to dip my toe backing the scrapbooking world. Hi everyone!
