Hi, my name is Michelle Whorwood and I live in Albany on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand with my husband, Gary.  We currently have two kids Liam (7 years) and Taylor Grace (17 months)  and another little bundle on the way in April as well as our very bouncy Retrospoodle dog, Indy. 

I started scrapbooking about 5 years ago when Liam was little and it has been the one hobby that I have ever stuck with long term and I can't think of any reason why I would every stop.  My scrapbooking style is ever evolving but you will definitely find lots of layers on my layouts and I love trying out new products and testing the bounmdaries in my scrapbooking.  When I'm not scrapbooking you will find me hanging out with my family, drinking good coffee and shopping!

I would say that Scrapbooking for me is like therapy… I find it very relaxing and it’s often my time out or my ‘me time’. I love that scrapbooking  enables me to preserve my families’ memories, to be creative and allows me to  indulge in some retail therapy all at the same time.
I'm super excited to be back on the Scrappin' Patch team for another term!  Feel free to visit my blog.
