Hi, my name is Rowena and I'm addicted to scrapbooking.

So...here it is. An attempt at a blog. I was asked if I had a blog to see all the creations I've made and it got me thinking...I could probably do it. It might take me a while, but I think I can do it.

I'm a stay-at-home mom in Manitoba. My husband goes to the Northwest Territories to work for 2 weeks at a time and gets to come home for 2 weeks at a time, where we can do whatever we wish.

But, we have a very busy life. We have a beautiful 2 year old daughter. It took a while...but she finally came AFTER we started fostering. We also have a 3 1/2 year old foster daughter and her brother, our 2 year old foster son.

We also do a few extra-curricular things outdoors. We love riding our motorcycles and snowmobiles. We live by the river and we go for boat rides. Tom is a hunter. I love flinging arrows from my bow and we can't wait to try out our new compound bows.

With this lifestyle we've chosen, I've started scrapbooking and cardmaking in January 2009. It's my release. It's my sanctuary at the end of the day. Hence, the blog name, late night inspiration....I can usually be found still scrapbooking at 2 am, if I've gotten my groove on. As soon as the kids go to bed, I sit at my craft table. I love it. I love being able to preserve memories because, to be honest, I'm not very good at remembering a lot of things.

We've got an addition in the works and it includes a 12' x 12' craftroom (yes, I'm a lucky girl) and for Tom, a gunroom. Right now, I have tables set up in the lower level in the family room area and I'm slowly creeping INTO the family room, until my room is done.

I don't know where this blog is going to go. I'll be posting layouts, cards and altered art in hopes that someone will take some inspiration back to their craft table. I love looking at other blogspots to get some inspiration. Hopefully, I can give some back.

Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully, we'll see you soon.

P.S. in order to comply with the "no photos" rule for our foster children, if I post a photo of a layout with them in it, their faces will be blocked out with some sort of embellishment. I hope you can understand.
