I am a graphic designer, crafter, DIYer, traveller, foodie, free spirit, creative and more...

I am a Canadian girl living in Australia.

They call me Tracey, Trace, Trace Face, TB, Teebs, Bong Bong and tons more

Like I said, I love being able to create new, repurpose, and upcycle things, and finding ways to use what's left in the fridge to cook up a delicious new meal... actually anything DIY and anything creative!

And the most rewarding and fulfilling sense for me is knowing that I have created something new out of the old and being able to reduce my carbon footprint. Giving something a second chance even if it's as simple as giving it a fresh, new coat of paint.

So why Simply2B? It's just Simply To Be! (And.. well, it also plays off SimplyTB Designs). Simply to be all the things you want to be whether it be a successful business person, a stay at home mom/dad, a designer, an artist, a chef, a crafter, a dreamer... the list is endless. But here, it is simply to be crafty, a foodie, creative and more... Simply to be me, and simply to be Tracey Bong.

For me, it's always been the simple, little things that stood out for me and made my heart smile. I, usually *wink*, prefer the thoughtful gifts vs the material gifts, whether it be handmade gifts, cards, baked goods, a photo collage... Even though you may not be a 'creative' person it's not that hard to find the little things to put a smile on someone's face as simple as, a scribble on a love note, or a bag of their favourite candies.

So, I hope you will find something in this little spot of the blogosphere to make your heart smile too or to help make someone else's heart smile!

Because sometimes it's the simple, little things in life that make all the difference.
