Hi
My name is Debbie.
I live in New Zealand and a wife of a loving hubby and a mum to two adorable children.
I am a Fiskars Ambassador for NZ and a Fiskars Tool Demonstrator.
My aim here at wordpress is to have a blog that both teachers, inspires and informs people with scrapbooking and paper crafting world – as well as throwing a few bits in with art and sewing if I want to.
I hope to have videos here and downloadable how to sheets. So lets get started and have some creative fun!

Hi Debbie,
I bookmarked your blog so I can return whenever I want. ; ) Please may I have the recipe to the New Zealand cake that you gave to our friend MaryNSC? She made it, took a snap, displayed the pic on her blog. Then she ate the cake! ; >
Before the Internet, there was the Inky Trail. I was penpals with a friend in New Zealand. We always swapped recipes but back then she said they didn’t have all our ingredients (I’m in USA). Things have changed! Please let us swap a recipe or two. TIA! ; )
I look forward to learning many things from you.
All the best,
Fiskateer #5000
