My first post

I've wanted a website for so long now, so that I could showcase and advertise the work that I do and that I'm passionate about. So since October last year I have been in the process of having one created by one of Joe's (my husband) cousins, Luke. It sort of got a good start and I was so excited about finally having somewhere to call 'home' for my 'creations' - but the progress has slowed somewhat and I'm not sure when it will be finished, so in the meantime this is where I am going to call home to 'my stuff'. I really want to say a huge thank you to Luke for the time and effort he has spent on the website and maybe one day we'll get that little sucker finished!
So that leds us to here! I really don't know why I hadn't thought of it sooner, because I've been visiting scrapbooking sites for nearly 2 years - never really putting 2 and 2 together - until now that is.
I’m in the process of starting up my own business called ‘Personalised Anything’ designing & printing greeting cards - birthday/anniversary/baby/baptism/Christmas etc. Invitations - birthday/wedding/engagement, etc as well as personalised keepsakes – designed for you chocolate wrappers and as a sideline - scanning photos/slides to disc and dvd production of slideshows for weddings, funerals etc…..
So welcome to all who enter. I really hope you enjoy your visits here and if there are any services I can provide for you, please let me know and I will be thrilled to assist or just drop me a line and give me some feedback. It would be great if you could pass the link on to all your friends as well.

- samples of my work -
This is a card I made for my Dads 70th birthday last year.
I love going through all our old photos and breathing new life into them.
They tell such a story so it's a shame to have them forgotten in a shoebox under the bed.

Welcome baby in a wonderfully unique way -

These chocolate wrappers are a custom made, fun way to commemorate the arrival of a special little person into the world. It makes a great gift and a beautiful keepsake. On the back of the wrapper you can tell a story of their arrival, giving specific details, like when contractions started, what the weather was like etc...
They are also a unique gift for Christenings and Baptisms.

Wedding DVD cover and CD label for Slideshow –
You can order a beautiful record of the day of your wedding. Each photo is enhanced to get the ultimate feel of nostalgic romance.
Then you choose the song/s that you want playing in the background. It could be a song/s played during the ceremony or anything you wish.
This would also make a great anniversary gift to capture and bring back memories of your speical day.

In Memory DVD cover and CD label for Slideshow -
In the saddest time of our lives, we want so badly to keep the memory of our lost loved one alive. A slideshow showcasing their life, to be played during their funeral service, documents their achievements, the people they met and loved, cherished pets, their passions. Backed by meaningful music, it is a perfect way to say farewell and thank you. It would make a cherished keepsake that can be past down so they are forever remembered.



I hope I get better at doing this - it's taken the better part of the weekend to get this far.
Love and kisses - Joanne

As I told you Jose your page is very impressive, but I wouldn't think for one minute it wouldn't be, your a Ball and we do things great the first time. You have worked long and hard to reach the stage you are at, and I hope you will get business from having this page, to those that are just finding this page, my sisters work is excellent, creative, and of the highest quality. She makes wonderful presents for her family that will be handed down to many generations.When my son died in 2002 at 18, she made me a beautiful remembrance box, to keep his things safe and its a valuable keep sake; I would be devastated if anything happened to it.She made my oldest daughter Elizabeth a birthday card recently that my daughter still has on display; it has pictures from Elizabeth as a baby, than four others that take her up to her wedding last year. It sits pride of place on her T.V. Thanks for the updates I get to know what you are all up to, and I know it will hard to let go of Jayden,but have faith that you have taught him well, he will be fine. Love from your sister...Leandra.
