About

My name is Chris and I  love living and working on the fabulous South Coast of NSW. It is a constant source of inspiration.  We are indeed truly blessed to have such beautiful scenery and beaches all around us.

I have a fantastic husband with whom I have now been married to for over 34 years.  Two wonderful and lovely daughters and their husbands, four amazing and gorgeous little granddaughters and a very talented son and his wife.  They are all very supportive and encouraging.  Not to forget to  mention our two absolutely gorgeous and faithful Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that greet me with so much love at the end of a long day.

I have had over 13 years, owning and operating my own retail stores, the past 5 have been spent building Beautiful Scrapbooks both as a retail store and even more challenging building the last two websites from the ground up and learning the HARD way.   I must say web building is both frustrating and rewarding, but I hope you enjoy our new look.I must say, I'm pretty happy with the end result..

Scrapbooking has been a wonderful experience , which has changed my life more than I could ever have imagined, plus  I have seen so many changes in styles and colour, no journalling to  journalling and back again.   I have seen everypiece of garbage imaginable stuck onto pages, from band-aids to tea bags and toilet paper all in an attempt to "create" a lasting memory.

I personally teach 10 classes per week, from 8 year olds to 80 year olds, this too has been challenging and at times heartbreaking as we have lost some very dear people, but mostly it has been a very rewarding experience.

Scrapbooking for me is more the "get real" approach, that comes from the heart.
