I don’t really know how and where to start this announcement. Well, let’s go back to September 2009. Maybe you remember that I was bashed pretty badly on some bash blogs. Silly me read all the comments and my heart literally shattered into a million pieces. I think, it was the beginning of the end. But also a new beginning. (complicated, right?) While my passion for scrapbooking was spread all over the floor, I had to really start thinking about my life, my purpose and I was able to step back and discover my passion for Wedding Photography. If you get lemons, make lemonade 
Basically, I decided to keep scrapping, but lately it has become very clear to me, that I’m getting more and more busy with photography and I just can’t continue doing two things at once.
As of this month, I will be out of Crate Paper and BlueMoonScrapbooking as well. I felt bad, because I felt like I wasn’t able to work for them wholeheartedly anymore and I’d rather make space for a fresh face with new ideas and lots of passion.So, it’s all good!
My love for Photography has grown and even though, having my own business and all is not always easy (and definitely takes up a ton of my energy) it is so worth it. I love to work with couples, before, on and after their Special Day. It is such fulfilling work to see, that I can make people happy with documenting their stories.
.
All that said, you probably already know what is coming next. Because I’m so thankful for all of you guys I didn’t want to just disappear, but rather wanted to let you know, that this blog will get very quiet soon. I’m not planning on continuing scrapbooking as I did before. Same goes for my
Etsy Shop. There are still stamps left in my treasure box, but the shop will close sometimes in January. So these next few weeks will be your very last chance to get your hands on my stamps. By the way, I’ve reduced the price of my stamps from $14.99 to $10 a piece!!
.
I hope this doesn’t come as a big shock for you. Deep down in my heart I’m excited about the time I will get from not crafting – or say, crafting in another way and for another purpose. Deep down I’m excited to focus all my energy on photography and other projects that might come in the future
.
I’m really so thankful for you my friends, for sticking with me through good and bad. For complimenting my work. For supporting my stamps. For cheering me on and keeping me going. Thank You!!

If you want to keep following my journey, you are more than welcome to read my
photography blog or
FB page. I’m not going to disappear, but the scrapbooking lane ends here. It has been so amazing to get to know so many ‘strangers’, just because we had this one little thing in common! It has been so awesome to work for such great DT’s and be a part of something bigger than I could have ever imagined. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
.
Well, if you’ve been reading all up to here I guess it’s soon time to say good bye. Good bye to a wonderful 8 years of blogging, learning and making friends. Good bye to dreams that have come true and Hello to new, even bigger dreams!!
.
xoxo, Rahel ♥
