SCRAP THERAPY...
 We     have  closed our other business to  focus wholly on  Scraptherapy,                      opening a  Paper Craft Bricks and Mortar  store in         Babinda,       FNQ    to   run    in  conjunction with the online    site.        During   the    last  2+     years  we    have  learnt a    whole  load    of  stuff   about      e-commerce,      scrapbooking,        cardmaking    and   the people   who love     these  hobbies.

STB SEPTEMBER BASE...
 
OUR GUEST DESIGNER FOR SEPTEMBER IS....
DONNA THOMAS (UK)...

My name is Donna Thomas and I’m 51 years of age.
I’ve got 4  grown up children and my husband & I are foster carers for 3 children. I  started to scrap about 5 years ago when my granddaughter was born and just love  it!
My two grandchildren are the stars of most of my pages, along with my foster  children.
I try to record the difficult side of our lives as well as the nice  things and find this to be really good therapy.
Here is Donna's stunning example...
