Scrapbooking for me has gone beyond an ordinary hobby. It has re-awakened my creative self -- an aspect of my being that has lain dormant for almost a decade now and thanks to the persistent urging of my wonderful shoppaholic and scrapbook-obsessive friends, my re-awakening has lead me to conceptualise and launch creativeXpression to the world.

The art of scrapbooking has evolved into..

my passion --
my temporary escape from public sector slavery, err....work --
Food for my soul as a good friend calls it.

I'm a 30-something old woman juggling many roles in my life-- wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, colleague, part-time graduate student, part-time entrepreneur and full-time career woman.

My name is Christine Gooding and creativeXpression is my creative venture.

"Life is a scrapbook, torn and old In which our little lives are told And when the twilight shadows fall This is the sweetest thing of all; To turn the pages of the years, Remembering with happy tears The faithful love, the perfect friend... These things are treasured to the end."
