It's February...the month of love.<br />
<br />
Just a few things I am really loving right now...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;">ONE</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

My very own Project Life package arrived today!<br />
The courier guy greeted me with "happy Friday". I don't think he knows just how happy!<br />
So, I have the Clementine Core Kit... and also added a black Signature Binder.<br />
Happiness is.... life (Project Life)<br />

Starting to 'plan' out the plans for next year, 2012.<br />
<br />
Here's something really exciting to look forward to. Come join us, come play.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ooHvQL3yYmM/TtW_3QAaT2I/AAAAAAAAA8w/YWUkKPHfSzk/s1600/BeckyHiggins-ProjectLife-logo-SOUTH-AFRICA-590x505.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="273px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ooHvQL3yYmM/TtW_3QAaT2I/AAAAAAAAA8w/YWUkKPHfSzk/s320/BeckyHiggins-ProjectLife-logo-SOUTH-AFRICA-590x505.png" width="320px" /></a></div><br />
This is VERY exciting news for me personally, as well as for South African scrapbookers and our local scrapbook market.<br />
<br />
I have been an avid follower of Becky Higgins for as long as I can remember (remember <a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Creative-Companion-Ultimate-Scrapbooking/dp/1929180365" target="_blank">Creative Companion</a> days circa 2001?), and getting to meet her in 2003 was certainly a highlight. As you may have picked up from my own style, I love her simple designs and her realistic approach to documenting life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_4wkh6_BVVw/TtXKn8VsMFI/AAAAAAAAA9A/S7wKeYN_wDI/s1600/USA+-+CKU+103.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="240px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_4wkh6_BVVw/TtXKn8VsMFI/AAAAAAAAA9A/S7wKeYN_wDI/s320/USA+-+CKU+103.jpg" width="320px" /></a>Oooh... look at what minus 8 years looks like! CKU 2003 - my first Becky Higgins class "Idea Buffet"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><br />
Girlfriends' Getaway projects have for the last 3 years been loosely based on Becky's idea, including smaller panels for journaling etc. <em>(<span style="font-size: x-small;">look out for details of Girlfriends' Getaway 2012 coming soon.)</span></em><br />
<br />

now it's September.<br />
still working on Sprinkles of Goodness every month.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is September's fabulous Collection with elements from Authentique paper company.<br />

I am still on my learning curve...it's a long one...learning to savour THIS moment. Whatever the moment is!<br />
<br />
This quote from Table 6 at <a href="http://scrappingstudio.blogspot.com/2011/05/may-megacrop.html">The Scrapping Studio's Mega Crop</a> was another gentle reminder for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
We had wonderful moments on Saturday. I was determined to take photos and, well, I thought I had done better than this...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth and now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">For it matters not, how much we own, the cars, the house, the cash, what matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">So think about this long and hard; are there things you’d like to change?

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Looking forward to meeting up with friends again (those I get to see at scrapbooking events!), and looking forward to sharing my double-page layout. It's one of five....the ladies are going to be busy :)<br />
<br />
Here's a little sneak peek at what I'll be doing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jLai0duKluo/TcPXkYECZ0I/AAAAAAAAA8E/U5C5ZAdkCcs/s1600/sneek2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" j8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jLai0duKluo/TcPXkYECZ0I/AAAAAAAAA8E/U5C5ZAdkCcs/s1600/sneek2.jpg" /></a></div>I know you're in for some really special treats. See you in the morning!<br />
<br />
And this is a Daily Truth from Brave Girls from some a couple of weeks ago. I was away at the time, so sharing now...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;">Dear Fabulous Girl,</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;">Every day you have the chance to be a tremendous blessing to someone else, in ways that you may never even recognize.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;">Even if you feel like you don't have a lot to give, or that you don't have the same kinds of things to give that others have, you definitely have gifts to offer that cannot be found anywhere else.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;">Share what you know. Treat others with kindness. Put yourself in another's shoes. Turn an unfortunately situation into a wonderful one. Thank someone with a thankless job. Do your best to really really really SEE another human being and go out of your way to show them that you SEE what they do, who they are, and what THEY have to offer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;">When you give, no matter what you have to give, your life takes on new meaning, and you can't help but have an incredible day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;">Thanks for everything you do, everywhere you go.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;">xoxo</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Dear Extraordinary Girl,</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">You can do amazing things with the simplest things. You can have so little and be so happy. You can take small amounts of time and perform life-changing acts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Is it time to simplify? Is it time to pare down your life to the handful of things that mean the most to you and let the rest go so that you can give the very best of yourself to the very best thing, instead of being spread in a too-thin layer all over the place?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Your heart knows when it's time, and you will have the strength to do it. And best of all, you will see enormous changes happen in your life when you let the unimportant things go and embrace the things that quiety sustain you and bring you joy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">It may not look like the most glamorous life, but it is one filled with joy, peace, and harmony; one where laughter is a welcome and frequent companion; one where worries are few, where long meaningful conversations are many; one that is waiting for you when you are ready to take the steps to get there.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Simplify today, one little thing at a time. You can do it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">xoxo</span><br />

Last week had me a little confused with Monday being a holiday, although I worked (played) at Girlfriends' Getaway and then took Tuesday off, really my week only started on Wednesday!<br />
<br />
I'm happy to get a full week in - I have lots to do (just for a change, right)!<br />
<br />
My week did start on a happy note, with these ideas on my screen and now flashing in my head...<br />

<br />
Girlfriends' Getaway at Mount Grace, Magaliesburg is over (for this year - <em>wink</em>), and it was FABulous!!<br />
What an amzing group of woman, such creativity, special friendships and loads of laughs.<br />
<br />
We relaxed and ate, were pampered and ate, got creative and messy and ate, made scrapbook layouts about what makes us happy... and of course, we ate! There is never any shortage of good food at Girlfriend's Getaway, an ample supply of laughs, and a huge amount of inspiration all around!<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear Creative Girl,</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did you know that being creative is simply making something that did not exist before you made it? We are ALL creative, and being creative is a very important, wonderful part of being alive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can be creative with your meals, with your clothes, with your parenting, and with your job. You can be creative in friendship, in gardening, in the books you choose. Anything!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please don't EVER tell yourself that you are not creative, or that others are more creative than you are. Creativity is a tremendous gift that was born into all of us and that keeps our lives interesting. It is a gift that helps others because we can all think of new things that others would not think of themselves.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Share your creativity today. It is healing, it is exciting, and it is essential for forward progress. We believe in you and all that you do. Don't let the world miss out on your creative ideas!!! We need you!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">xoxo</span><br />
