My name is Hannah Blair and I'm 31 years old. I've been married to my husband Rob for 10 years, and we have 2 boys, Ethan (7) and Tyler (5). We live on the beautiful Hibiscus Coast, just north of Auckland, about 200 metres walk from the beach.

I work full time from home as a Medical Writer/Editor. I love working from home because of the flexibility it gives me. I enjoy being able to walk my boys to and from school every day, attend their school assemblies, class trips and sports days, and (sometimes) being able to sneak a little scrapbooking into the middle of my day!

I started scrapbooking in 2005, when Tyler was just a baby. Over the years I have been on several Design Teams, and was a founding contributor at The Sketch Book. My work has been published several times in the NZ Scrapbooking magazine Up2Scrap, and in the Australian Scrapbooking magazines For Keeps, Scrapbook Creations and Scrapbooking Memories.

Primarily I scrapbook because I enjoy the creative outlet. However, preserving memories for my family is a real bonus. I love knowing that my layouts will be around long after I'm gone, that our stories have been told for future generations to enjoy.

I'm thrilled to join "The Patch" and look forward to working with a bunch of extremely talented girls, some of whom I have had the pleasure of working with before. I think it's going to be a lot of fun!
