Hello :)

[Justinie]

Just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone
My name is Justine. I am married and have one little boy who is 4.
We live in Bendigo, Victoria.
Our son has Autism which means i don't get a lot of 'me time'. But when i do i spend just about all of it scrapbooking.
There doesn't seem to be much going on scrapbooking wise in Bendigo that i can find (Not even a shop!!!!) so i am glad to have found this great forum!

Hi Justinie
Welcome to the forum, I've been here nearly a year now and love it.
If you get time, check out a craft shop in the Market Place - saw it last week, I never actually went inside except to pay for a couple of cheap alphas I picked up outside in the bargain bin. First shop on the left when you come in at the entrance near the underground car park end.
Looking forward to seeing your 'work'.

[Justinie]

Thankyou all for the welcome
I am really looking forward to being involved in the swaps and sketch challenges (once i work out how everything works haha)

ChristineR~
Thanks I have been into the Riot store in Market Place and we also have Spotlight. I have only lived in Bendigo 10 months after moving from Melbourne. I was spoilt down in Melbourne with all of the scrapbooking shops and being able to walk in and find exactly what you want! I also miss the f/n crop nights I used to attend.
I have started buying things online though which has been good.
Are you from Bendigo too?

Hope to get to know you all more soon

Hi Justine, Welcome to the forum.
This is a great place to learn all sorts of things, I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do.
There is a great little scrap shop in Eaglehawk 2 doors up from the Commonwealth bank. They stock all sorts of things and will happily order in what you want, if they can.
