Although it's my first love, I've decided to postpone my idea of traditional scrapbooking and album creation business in favour of offering a photo scanning service to begin with. In this way I hope to build up a client base, then offer a digital scrapbooking service. I still plan to offer traditional Nettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00263822493403934722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892196438460407295.post-87577139874351643722010-04-28T11:16:00.000+10:002010-04-28T11:16:53.563+10:00A RAK! and The Warrior (Worrier?) Queen Rides Again!How about that! I won! In my last post I wrote about Pam Callagahan's blog Ideas for Scrapbookers and her invitation to followers to show how their styles have evolved. I left a comment on her blog and I was rewarded by winning a Random Act of Kindness. How lovely! Thank you so much Pam.
This was actually a week or so ago and I've been very remiss in getting back here to thank Pam publicly.

Her invitation to followers to show how their styles have evolved got me thinking about when I first started scrapbooking. My first project was a scrapbook of my son's first 21 years. You will see from my last post that this has been a somewhat lengthy Nettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00263822493403934722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892196438460407295.post-35103223368475627912010-04-10T20:45:00.003+10:002010-04-12T21:42:33.440+10:00A Conversation with My Self.The following is a conversation I had with myself this week
Self: "The first Scrapbook I ever started was an album of my son's first 21 years. He's 26 now ... in fact ... he'll be 27 in a couple of months."
Other Self: "What did he think of it?"
Self: "Well ... he hasn't seen it yet."
Other Self: "Why?"
Self: "Well ... because I haven't finished it yet."
Other Self: "What!

I've been a tad worried since I created this blog and decided to call it Nettie's Nook.
Firstly it struck me that the word "nook" meaning a corner or recess is a bit outdated ... archaic even.
But then ...

I have been Scrapbooking for a few years now and have often wished I could do it for a living ... but being, until recently, a full-time teacher, I had very little energy left at the end of the week to do my own projects, let alone create albums for other people.
During the past 18 months things have changed for me and I now have more spare time. So, I've decided to see if I can create and makeNettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00263822493403934722noreply@blogger.com2
