Welcome to My Creative Notebook, I’ve always been fascinated by the creative process and believe that everyone has their own personal collection of skills and abilities, which just needs time and encouragement to develop.

Despite this space being rooted in technology, I see My Creative Notebook as a starting point from which to go and do things!
