So, erm ....maybe I forgot to say ...

I've been wanting to tell you this for a while now ... but I couldn't. Now that I can, I will. Then I'll be hiding no more secrets from you and we'll all live happily ever after. OK? OK then here goes .....

There's a new Scrapbook Inspirations Design Team in town and don't you think that Mrs first left, third row down looks quite a lot like me?:

That's because it is me and I'm all very delighted and happy and kind of shy about it all really!!

[My other job title is reduced to a set of initials and now I can add SI DT to that!]

Now, before you start thinking that it's only you who I hide things from - I can assure you that I can be equally as taciturn with my family.

Case in point: That's the latest issue of the magazine [Issue 58 - October which will be in stores from the 18th of September]. Inside there's a layout and some embellishments I created for the 'Just the Thing' feature.

Here's a tiny sneak peek of it:

Now, that cuuuute little face in the black and white photograph just happens to belong to my Mam and I might just have kept the fact that I've scrapped a photo of her as child, [and had it published in a magazine] as little sort of surprise for her. [Surprise sounds so much nicer than secret - don't you think?]

I'm going to her house in a minute to show her her face in print and, now that you've all learned about that before her - in the revealing of secrets stakes - I think that makes us all even now.

I've got my copy already as I have a subscription - and sometimes these are delivered earlier. You can subscribe here - if you are that way inclined :)

So, now that I've fessed up, come clean, spilled the beans, let the cat out of the bag and declared my intentions ....I'lll be back to my regular exposing of myself in no time!

....as to whether they all expose themselves regularly too ....well, you'll just have to have a look for yourself!

Thank you to those who've already wished me well. It's very much appreciated.

I'll be around again soon,

Julie xx
