Wise words!

There are many things in life that will catch your eye,

but only a few that will catch your heart.

Pursue these.

Special Moms

Love to all you moms out there for Mother's Day on Sunday courtesy the most fabulous cupcakes in the USA! 

Special love to MY mom - you're precious.

And if you're looking for heartfelt gifts.....

From my friends at The Heartfelt Project.

Back to regular, or rather, less irregular blog posts next week...

A month!

It's hard to believe that a whole month passed without a post. Sorry to those who have repeatedly popped by. Perhaps I should have posted this image a few weeks ago.

Anyway... most of my projects are pretty much done for now. And I REALLY want to get back into some scrapbooking for ME. Well... let's see what happens.

In the meantime it is almost May, which amongst important days like anniversaries and first birthdays, also has a new Sprinkles of Goodness collection. This time I have included an additional option of Collection B.

I do hope to be back sooner than before.....

Wise Words = Wednesday

It's the middle of the week already and way past the middle of the month. In the words of Kermit "time's fun when you're having flies"! 

Been busy, busy with Girlfriends' Getaway preparations - designing parts of the project and some fun stuff; Getting the next Sprinkles of Goodness ready - this one is full of cuteness!

I've also been surfing the net for all sorts of inspiration and came across this - perfect for today's wise words.

(Inspiration here)

Love, still

Love this - so African!

Hope you are all having a love-erly month of love.

Love Month Wise Words

I refer to February as the *love* month!  I know every month should be love-filled, but with all the commercialism around Valentine's Day it's a good time to stop and um, smell the love!

So here's this week's wise words of love.

Love is everything it's cracked up to be.

That's why people are so cynical about it...It really is worth fighting for,

being brave for, risking everything for.

--Erica Jong

a pinch & a punch

it's the FIRST of the month!

So January flew by... is that an indication of how it's going to be again?!

It's time for my Sprinkles of Goodness collection to hit their new homes again. This has been a fun collection to put together... thinking of holidays, fun by the pool, hikes in the mountains, out and about or stay right at home pictures... love the mixture of turquoise, browns and greys.

This collection is loaded with paper and sprinkled with some fun embellies!

The waitlist was a long one, (after the January sellout), so if you're on the list, your Collection is ready for posting. If you're not on this month's list, be sure to email me (no spaces in the email addy) asap so I can include you on the list for March - it's going to be sprinkled with goodness for sure!

Email me a link or a picture of layouts using Sprinkles of Goodness so I can include them here.

Happy week to you all.

Have a look at the gorgeous layout Sophia created with some of the Sprinkles of Goodness she received in January!

Here's a sneek...

Sold Out!

My Sprinkles of Goodness - January Collection is sold out!

Thank you to all of you who bought it and loved it and are excited about next month's Collection already.

Because the January Collection sold out so quick, and there are a number of people who REALLY want the February Collection before it sells out... I am starting a "waiting list" which will ensure that you do receive your Sprinkles of Goodness as soon as I have it ready.

NB! The previous link for emailing me was incorrect - sorry. So if you emailed me about the January Collection and haven't had a reply it's because I didn't receieve it.  Please email me again.
Here's a correct email link (without the spaces, just to safeguard from spammers).

Details for Sprinkles of Goodness - February will follow next week, so don't delay in reserving yours.

Girlfriends' Getaway - Project

Much excitment and buzz around this year's Girlfriends' Getaway project.

Lots of buzz around  too!!  The February collection is in the works. Sprinkles of  yummy-ness once again. Email me to add your name to the wiaitng list to ensure you get your Sprinkles of Goodness.

Have a fabulous week!

Sprinkles of Goodness

{twenty ten} + ten

The year is {twenty ten} and ten days old already!    Happy New Year!!

Today is "officially" my first day back into regular routine. I've had the most wonderful 4 weeks off of relaxing, rejuvenating and readying myself for this new year.

Journaling my 25 Days to Christmas album is almost done, it just needs to be bound somehow. Although I didn't keep up on a daily basis I have completed it and I *love* it. Once again the importance of journaling or capturing the memories has been impressed on my heart. On 8th December I didn't take a photo for the day, I also didn't write anything down. And 3 weeks later... I could not remember what I had done on that day. Obviously it wasn't anything significantly "important", but it was still a day I had wanted to capture. So again... whether you're creating a layout, making a mini book, taking a photo a day, I want to encourage you to write it down... you are NOT going to remember.

And speaking of writing it down... I've had a long time to think about my "Word" for 2010. Last year my word "balance" captured where I was at, going into that new year, a year of becoming a mother for the first time and the knowledge that I'd have to be doing many a balancing trick with the amount of stuff I do!

This year I have chosen nurture, a gentle reminder to myself, for where I am at once again and what I'd like to do.

Enjoy today for what it is. Nurture every minute (and capture the memories!)
